Activities at The Cedars…
Cedars Cottages lies in a valley all of it’s own hosting an unbelievably complex world of wildlife. Wherever one wanders, one’s gaze is rewarded with the tranquility and breathtaking beauty of the Cedars. Australian wildlife abound and there are other activities you can enjoy as well. On farm activities and services include:
Wildlife Spotting
Roaming free are a multitude of wildlife species in the open paddocks and in the rain-forest environment. Some you will see are; echidna, wallaby, lyrebird, wombat, kangaroo, kookaburra and the many varieties of bird life. Two wedge-tail eagles live in the nearby mountains and they can often be seen circling for their supper. However not all of the animals at the Cedars are wild.
Farmyard Friends
Help us feed breakfast to our farmyard friends….cows, horses, chooks and (collect eggs), sheep, goats, peacocks, donkeys and pigs and others that seem to come by. Once you get to know their pace you will enjoy their company.
Glow Worms

Follow the marked trails for a wonderful trek experience that will take you through mountain country seldom visited. Trekkers use the kilometers of various grades of safe walking tracks for personalised preparation for Kokoda or Kilimanjaro, or the more adventurous traveller can be guided up Kennan’s Pass to our hut on the escarpment. Not for the feint hearted.
