Romance or adventure, your ideal getaway at Cedar Creek Lodges awaits.
Romance or adventure, your ideal getaway at Cedar Creek Lodges awaits.
Amid the whirlwind of life’s demands, we’re often struck by the sudden temptation to throw our most treasured possessions at a suitcase and start a new life somewhere exotic – though, thankfully the answer to what ails us need not be so extreme.
Escape the everyday hustle and bustle and schedule a #staycay stat – because the stunning surrounds of Cedar Creek Lodges await with the antidote our tired souls seek. A hinterland haven of R&R that’s been hiding in plain sight of our weary eyes all along.
Because let’s face it *gestures vaguely* with absolutely everything we need at our fingertips, Gold Coasters need not stray farther than our own backyards – and when it’s rest and recuperation we seek, we’d be hard-pressed to top the enchanting surrounds of Cedar Creek Lodges.
Offering up a slice of idyllic hinterland serenity, Cedar Creek Lodges has long been adored among locals and holidaymakers for some 25 years now – so it’s safe to say the crew has the art of rejuvenating, reinvigorating and reconnecting down to a fine art.
Set amongst 114 picturesque hectares of Scenic Rim subtropical rainforest and open woodlands, Cedar Creek Lodges captures that elusive feeling of being ‘a world away’ packed with mod-cons and perfectly poised for adventure or romance aplenty.
The sprawling rainforest property, which is also shared with Thunderbird Park, offers plenty of space to cater to caravans and campers for those those who prefer to BYO digs. While for families, the adjacent Park’s range of adventure activities (also available for day visitors) will be especially appealing – including fossicking for ancient thundereggs and crystal panning, the Tree Top Challenge & Canyon Flyer Zipline, Laser Skirmish in a rainforest battlefield and Championship Mini Golf.
Neighbouring Cedar Creek Falls, and nearby – Tamborine Mountain village and National Park are all waiting to be explored, meaning there’s no shortage of things to see, do or experience.
Though you can just as easily succumb to those calls to slow down, curl up beside your one and only and churn through a good book (or three).
If the latter sounds like your idea of heaven, might we suggest the Luxury Glamping tents, all perfectly poised to unplug and unwind with your beloved with your own private spa bath and fire, right on Cedar Creek. Which poises the conundrum: as blue skies beckon will it be a bush walk or a refreshing dip in the Falls to start your day? Trick question, the correct answer is of course c: both.
Alternatively, the brand new accommodation offering “The Vistas” offers the best of both worlds, cosy and chic modern mid-cen inspired suites surrounded by the sprawling treetop expanse beyond your private balcony. Which you’ll definitely be spending plenty of time perched upon, thanks to the inclusion of an inbuilt Teppanyaki cooking facility and plenty of downtime to work on those flips… itadakimasu, indeed.
Suddenly, it’s not hard to see why this choose-your-own-adventure style mountainside escape remains a perennial favourite among visitors of all ages, whether it be weary travellers, couples wanting to cosy up, or families seeking a fun-filled escape to wear out the little tykes (srsly tho, where do they get all that energy).
