Testimonials

" My family and I recently stayed at Cedar Creek for a few days, I have to say, it was a great place to go for a family of adults and children. We had a go at both the Adventure park ropes course as well as the Laser skirmish, we thoroughly enjoyed both, well worth the prices!! The food was great at both the restaurant and the kiosk, the wood fired pizzas were fantastic!! The room we stayed in was very comfortable and very clean which is one of the main reasons we will return and certainly recommend to friends as a place to stay.

I think the best thing we found was the friendliness of the staff, no matter where we seemed to go on the property we were made to feel very welcome and the staff seemed happy to take the time to talk to us. "

5 stars

" My Hubby and I recently stayed in the garden lodge for two nights and we wished we stayed longer. The lodge was modern, clean and had everything we needed. The bed was AMAZING. The staff were so accommodating, and no question went unanswered. Highly recommend! "

" I travelled to Cedar Creek Lodges at Tamborine Mountain (part of Thunderbird Park) last week for a 3-night stay with my children as part of a big group made up of many families from our school. We had booked into a range of accommodation including campsite and lodges/cabins and some people took their camper/trailers. My family (children 11, 8, 6, 3) stayed in the gorgeous creekside lodges.

From the minute we arrived, we were welcomed by the very friendly staff. Our private lodge was simply divine, situated right on beautiful Cedar Creek with a superb outlook from the windows and deck. We had a cosy fireplace, very comfortable beds, a small kitchen and a big spa bath in the bathroom. There was plenty of room in the cabin for all of us to relax and enjoy the serenity.

We took part in many of the fantastic activities on offer including horse riding, fossicking for thundereggs, adventure Parc green challenge (an amazing challenge), mini golf and much more. The kids also spent lots of time exploring the creek and spotting the amazing range of birdlife that lives throughout the property. We ate at both the kiosk and the lodge restaurant and all the meals were of very high quality and reasonably priced.

We all enjoyed the break from the city and embraced the friendly, laid back atmosphere Cedar Creek Lodges provides for families needing to relax and enjoy a very natural environment. We were all sad to leave after 3 nights, we are going to return again very soon! "

" My wife and I stayed here and had a great time. We stayed in a luxury spa room on the hill for 2 nights over a weekend - good price and it included a buffet breakfast which was really good. We did the ropes course and played laser skirmish, both were excellent. The first night we went up to Clancy’s Irish Pub for dinner which was lovely and the second night we stayed in-house and dined at the new restaurant at cedar creek. The food was good, the service was good and the after dinner schnapps from the local distillery was just the right way to end a good night.

We hope to make it up there again soon, it was just the perfect weekend away - just what my wife and I needed. "

5 stars

" We ended up extending our stay because we were having so much fun! Gorgeous cabins in an idyllic location combined with multiple adventure activities for children and parents made it very hard to leave!! We played mini-golf, enjoyed Treetop Challenges, making campfires and roasting marshmallows, hiking and sliding at Cedar Creek Falls, and battling it out at Laser Skirmish. We will definitely be back! ’’

" My boyfriend proposed on our first night at Cedar Creek and our parents called the staff the next morning for a favour. We were upgraded from the lodges to their creek cabin-their best available- and mum hadn't even asked her favour yet she had them place champagne and chocolate-dipped strawberries in the room so they were there when we arrived. Every time the staff saw us they asked how we were and used our first names.

The food was delicious and they have a very cool bar and a snuggle lounge too!

Could not fault the service or accommodation at all - it was brilliant we will definitely be going again (maybe for our honeymoon!) "

5 stars

" We held our conference at Cedar Creek Lodges and had a wonderful couple of days. Their facilities were great and the food was excellent. We very much appreciated all of the teams' efforts to ensure that we had a great conference and stay. Gorgeous setting and surroundings, very conducive to providing the perfect setting for a working conference and corporate retreat. To that end, I have booked our May 2020 conference with them, which we will all be looking forward to. "

5 stars

" We had Teddy as our coordinator which is included in the package. We had the midweek special which meant the celebrant and DJ were included in our package. There are 3 meetings to attend prior to the event so this made ease of organising everything. Table and chair decorations are also included if you wish. The team helped set up everything, the ceremony, and tables, we didn't have to worry about anything. Teddy also checked in on us on our special day so that was lovely. You can include your dog at the ceremony if you wish. It was a lovely day and having the ceremony and reception in the same place makes life easier. Also, they have undercover options if it rains. All the staff were lovely, everyone loved the food. I honestly could not fault cedar creek. Thank you for making our day special :) "

5 stars

" I recently had the opportunity to enjoy this fabulous resort on Mt Tamborine. Going away with your kids and their friends can be quite a challenge but this is family heaven. The activities especially the ropes course, rock hopping, and thunderegg mining are just great and kept everyone active all day. We stayed in one of the creek lodges and found them again ideal for the family. Located right on the creek with wood fire, spa bath, and very comfortable beds. There is a kitchen with everything you need - we ate mainly at the Rainforest Restaurant as the prices were very reasonable and the quality of the food was excellent. Our kids and their friends are already asking when they can go back although they are thinking of minigolf and camping - they might but you will trouble to get the parents out of the lodges. "

5 stars

" My (now) wife and I had our wedding at Cedar Creek Lodges and we can't express how glad we were with our decision. The service we were given was the best I've ever been given. They went above and beyond to help us make our special day even more special. And our wedding planner... she is amazing! She helped us with whatever we needed help doing and was with us throughout the ceremony and reception to make sure it all went off without a hitch. Cannot recommend this venue enough. We were impressed in ways we couldn't even imagine. 10/10 "
