Accommodation near Cradle Mountain | Silver Ridge Retreat

Nestled on the slopes of majestic Mount Roland near Sheffield, Tasmania, Silver Ridge Retreat offers peaceful, self-contained cottages in the heart of the Cradle Mountain & Lakes District.

Just 35 minutes from Devonport's Spirit of Tasmania terminal, our retreat provides the perfect base for exploring Cradle Mountain, Tasmania's Tasting Trail, Mole Creek Caves and the Town of Sheffield's Murals, with panoramic mountain views from every cottage.

Under single family ownership and operation since 1999, we have developed substantial local knowledge of activities and attractions to help our guests make the most of their stay in the region.

The better prepared you are ahead of arrival, to find the essentials easily (where to eat, what to see, where things are), the more time you will have to experience the activities and attractions our region has to offer.

So once you've booked, we send information out in stages so you get relevant information you need closest to the time you need it.

Travel tip - Very few 3rd party booking sites pass all of our pre-arrival communications, many of them just truncating them to save data. The only way you can guarantee to get our information ahead of arrival is by booking direct from this website.

Book now, pay on arrival, free cancellation.

We're Private

A key part of maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for our guests is knowing and being able to identify who they are. This is as important for prevening anonymous party groups as it is for identifying and contacting guests in an emergency. Whilst, in our experience, these situations are rare, the impact from not having this information can be very high. If for some reason we do not receive sufficient information at the time you book, we will request it from you on arrival.
We do not use or sell any information you give us for marketing purposes.
We do not share any information you give us with any other party except where required by law. In the rare instances this has occurred, in our almost 30 years, it was for emergency purposes (to locate or account for a guest).
Our secure booking engine, provided by RMS Cloud, stores guest cardholder information in accordance with Payment Card Industry Standards and Regulations. Sensitive customer data is encrypted
