The majority of the property is either closed or under repair due to tornado damage . dining only available Thursday onwards . No alternative available except the township itself . Rooms in the lodges are dated and in need of some internal repairs . Adequate

Hi Margaret, I am unsure of what you are referring to as being closed. All of our activities are operational aside from the Canyon Flyer, which unfortunately received significant damage in the recent storms. Selected activities operate over weekend periods, this information is clearly outlined on our website, as is our Rainforest Restaurant opening hours. Definitely best to check all this information prior to arriving to make the most of your stay. Thank you for your feedback.

Due to horrible weather and no access to property- your site giving to book this Cedar Lodge ??? There was access to property, no lights, Police closed all roads due to flooding and we stuck in middle without any Hotel booking , called to Cedar Lodge 10 times , no pick , left 5 messages , not single reply, we stuck with family in Jungle on Mountain road , its shame , asked them Refund , asap , still waiting, I am waiting your reply also . Thanks , Sandeep

Response from Cedar Creek Lodges - Management on Jan 11, 2024
Firstly Sandeep, we were hit with a tornado on Christmas Day followed by a severe weather system on New Years Day which caused localised flooding and road closures. All of which were out of our control and unprecedent events. We were not contactable as you stated, due to all communications cut off and power being out on the mountain. Again, something we did not anticipate or have any control over. When staff were able to safely depart from the property we were then only able to begin communications with guests while being offsite. This unfortunately wasn't until 1pm on New Years Day. We understand that it was not an immediate communication, however the best we could do under the circumstances. As you had booked with Expedia, their communications were inconsistent with their guests and we have investigated this through them.

Through wotif, I booked the hotel for date 15 and 16 Juky. However, I received the information booking on the 10 and 11 July. After I contacted Wotif and the hotel about the dates was error; (I wasn't made the error date, it was wotif website) they were reluctant to allow me to change the dates or giving credit. So, I paid for the hotel which I didn't stay; it was impossible for me to Go to the property at it was Monday and both my husband were working. They charged me for the dates hotel that I didn’t book. The booking dates were a mistake; they were reluctant to refund my money for a night stay of $195. How cruel, I paid for the accommodation which I didn’t even stay. Should be giving at least another dates to stay. I'd never recommend the Creek Lodge to the community around the globe, charge way too much and doesn’t have any consideration, and cruel.

This guest booked accommodation for the wrong dates on Wotif.com. They called us after the date had passed, so there was nothing we could do. We were expecting them to arrive and they didn't. This is an issue between the guest and Wotif - not with our property.

Located in a beautiful area with lots to do. Basic older type motel. Chief drawbacks were the lack of water pressure and varying temperatures. The window blinds block out sun, but not around the edges. We experienced issues with other guests who would sit in front of our window talking late into the night. They need quiet hours.

Our Terrace Kiosk is open daily from 7.30am to 3.00pm. Our restaurant is closed Tuesday evenings, which is when you stayed. These operating hours are on our website and sent to all guests in a pre arrival email 3 days prior to arrival. We do have midweek platters available for purchase, however, these do require 24 hours notice to prepare, as we don't always have fresh ingredients on hand. This information is also on our website.

Very unique property with Adults and children catered for. Also the camping and cabin facilities can cover all family interest. The only thing I think maybe a benefit for all visitors would be more lighting at the road entrance to the property. At night it was very hard to see the entrance on that corner. But don’t worry we plan to return one day in the future. Thanks very much.

Clean, safe. Difficult to contact this venue due to poor internet and phone connection. Mattresses could be renewed. Lodges clean but a bit tired. Nice leafy environment. Good for groups. Restaurant OK. My fish was under-cooked, but steak was enjoyed by others. Options of small plates was good. Coffee much better at cafe than restaurant. Slow to replenish bowls, cups and hot water at breakfast buffet but had a good range of food.

I was pleased with the check in experience expeccially as we were 10 minutes from the check in closing, I was very upset that we were not notified of the restaurant being closed for a private function prior to booking or upon arrival, as the function was very loud and kept my daughter and myself up until 10pm but the receiption was happy to give us a late check out free of charge, and breakfast turned out to be very amazing, our next visit we will not be so rushed and we will book with the property as they can then give us further information on what is expected (functions & restaurant closures, noise etc)
