"Cedar Lake Country Resort."
I had the privilege of staying overnight at the Cedar Lake Country Resort two nights ago and had no difficulty at all in immersing myself in the peaceful surroundings of this picturesque place. Tranquillity merges seamlessly with Nature and together they create the perfect ambience for relaxation and enjoyment.
The Cedar Lakes Country Resort is nestled amongst the hills of the Gold Coast Hinterland in Advancetown in Queensland, Australia and is only a ten minute drive to Nerang. This resort is tucked away amongst 89 acres of beautiful bushland and is close to the Hinze dam in the heart of the Hinterland.
Comfortable, fully equipped accommodation is available on either side of this bridge, and away from the main building and restaurant area, which is ideal if peace and quiet is what is required on any given day or night.
I am not entirely sure, but I assume that this resort is named after the attractive and stately Cedar trees dotted around the property. Their graceful, weeping leaves have the appearance of willow trees and the wildlife are often found resting beneath the shadows, quietly observing guests as the walk to and fro.
Ducks, geese and kangaroos are right at home on this property and are very friendly. They walked right up to me expecting to be fed but there are designated areas where it is permitted for guests to feed them. No wonder they are friendly and approachable.
This children's playground is just one of the facilities available at this first-rate resort. The swimming pool is heated and there is an outdoor spa for further indulgence. If the pool or spa areas are occupied, you can visit the sauna with which to experience the ultimate form of relaxation.
Take your pick between using paddle boats, kayaks, or bikes for exercising. Or if your feel like something more vigorous then tennis courts are available. There is also mini golf, a nine hole golf course and a putt golf course to while away a few pleasant hours.
Next to a well equipped library the games room has activities available for all ages with pool tables, table tennis, air hockey, and slot machines.
A few kangaroos hang out near the golf course so I assume they haven't been hit by any stray golf balls otherwise they'd be inclined to snooze on a patch of grass on the other side of the resort.
This young kangaroo wasn't phased by my presence at all, although his mother kept a close eye on me as I moved up close for a couple of shots.
The Cedar Lake Country Resort is ideally placed for visitors to take advantage of the many attractions the Gold Coast has to offer. World heritage rainforests, gushing waterfalls and breathtaking bushwalks are within easy travel distance from here.
And of course the famous theme parks such as Sea World, Movie World, Dreamworld and Water World are not too far away either. Quaint villages such as those situated on Mount Tambourine are popular venues and there are a few interesting vineyards to choose from also.
Add variety to your swimming pleasure and walk the sandy beaches of the Gold Coast, go surfing, fishing or just relax in between your shopping expeditions.
After an action packed day sightseeing, there is nothing better than to come home to this paradise in the country and unwind. The Cedar Lake Bistro is a fully licensed Restaurant and depending on the time of year, diners can choose to enjoy their meal on the outdoor terrace overlooking lovely palm trees, large, sweeping, manicured lawns and the glistening waters of the resort pool and lake or inside where it is air conditioned.
And to ensure your utmost comfort in the cooler months you can dine inside, warmed by the indoor fire. Choose your menu, take your time over a leisurely and delicious meal as the flames blaze away close by.

It is a heavenly place Erika. Our son and daughter in law were staying there and my husband and I were invited to stay a night. It was most enjoyable. 😊
I'm glad to hear you had a wonderful time there :)
Thanks vey much Erika. It was an unexpected and enjoyable treat.
My dear my dear friend! 😘
Looks like an amazing spot! Glad you had a good time.
Thanks so much @kiwideb We hadn't planned on staying the night so it was an unexpected pleasure.
Very nice. I like that pool although I'll assume it's not heated and too cold to go swimming in right now.
Thank you @choogirl The pool is heated apparently but as I didn't go down prepared, I can't give you any feedback on it. I would have loved to have had a sauna too but they will have to wait for my next visit also.
