FARM ACTIVITIES

Besides our spectacularly scenic location on the edge of Lamington National Park, we offer a large range of activities you can only experience when staying at Cedar Glen Farmstay.

• We also offer egg collecting, plus there is some horses around if you wish to bring some carrots too
• We have been established as a Farmstay for over 35 years, so we know what you expect from a real Farmstay experience, and we can deliver that
• We have 3 km of the beautiful Albert river running through the middle of the farm, which is perfect for swimming and fossicking
• All of the activities that we offer on our website, you experience right here on our farm. You don’t have to travel anywhere
• We offer both fully catered and self contained options, as well as individual meal options

Farm Activities

A diverse range of animals call Cedar Glen home. Apart from our horses and beef cattle, we have a couple of pigs, some sheep, ducks, a peacock and chickens.

Naturally they all need to be cared for on a daily basis, and one of the joys of a Cedar Glen stay, is getting involved in these activities. We feed our lovely animals and collect the eggs twice daily, at 8.00am and 3.30pm.  It is a favourite with adults and children alike.

Boomerang Throwing and Whip Cracking

We’ll show you how to crack an Australian stockwhip and throw a boomerang that does come back. This is a fun activity for all ages and a great Australian experience.

Twilight Mountain Top 4WD Tour Including Champagne/Orange Juice

Named after Jack Stephens one of the original settlers of the area, “Jack’s Rocks” is a spectacular vantage point high on the Stephen’s property. It boasts spectacular views of the Lost World, the McPherson Range, and Cedar Glen. The access road to Jack’s Rocks is 4WD only and provides an exciting journey across the river and up the mountain side. To help soak up the views, we provide a complimentary glass of champagne or orange juice when we reach our destination. Don’t forget to take your camera for this one.

Guided Cave Hike

Join us for an unforgettable guided hike to the Cedar Glen Caves. The adventure starts at 9.30am with a bouncy 4WD trip to the cliff base.
From here we hike across the valley to explore 5 different caves. Along the way you will discover amazing flora and fauna, and see some spectacular views.
Included in the guided hike is some fruit, homemade cookies and refreshing cordial.

Horse Riding

It is with great sadness that we have to announce that as of June the 22nd 2019 our popular horse riding activity will no longer be available. Over the past 5 years it has become more and more difficult to obtain insurance for this activity. Our broker has eventually managed to find an underwriter willing to insure our horse riding activity, however the cost of the premium and excess amount are too extreme for our small business to sustain.

We have been taking guests on horse trail rides since our Farmstay began nearly 40 years ago. This amounts to 10’s of thousands of rides for both children and adults of all ages and levels of ability. As you can imagine, this forced decision has been very difficult  for us to come to terms with. We really appreciate your understanding and support.
