Cedar Lake Country Resort

The Resort & Setting

Cedar Lake Country Resort is an independent, RCI-affiliated timeshare property at 555 Nerang Murwillumbah Rd, Advancetown QLD, in the hinterland behind the Gold Coast. Google reviewers rate it 4.4/5 from 669 reviews, describing it as a serene retreat with a lake-view restaurant, an outdoor pool, tennis courts and boat rentals on site. It's a self-contained, low-key base rather than a high-rise coastal resort, which is part of its appeal to owners who want countryside and water views over beachfront bustle.

The Area and Things to Do

Advancetown Lake is about 3km away, giving the immediate surrounds a quiet, water-oriented feel. Nerang State Forest (around 8km) has walking trails and bushland for a morning away from the resort grounds. The wider Gold Coast hinterland, roughly 15km away, offers rainforest, waterfalls and lookout points within easy reach for a day trip. For theme park visits — Dreamworld, Movie World, Sea World and the like — Advancetown is about 25km from the main Gold Coast strip, close enough for a day trip there and back. A car is genuinely useful here, since the hinterland attractions and theme parks aren't within walking distance of the resort.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Listing a Cedar Lake Country Resort week on BidMyTimeshare.com is a private, owner-to-owner sale or rental: you set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you directly through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale — sellers pay only a small one-time listing fee to get the ad live.

Because Cedar Lake Country Resort is an independent property rather than part of a branded chain, resales here typically go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a head-office transfer desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both parties should confirm directly with the resort: the current transfer fee, whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, how long the transfer process usually takes, and the current annual maintenance fee. These figures aren't published centrally, so get them in writing from the resort before finalising any sale.

What a resale buyer receives is usually the deeded or right-to-use interest in the specific week/unit and the ability to continue using RCI for exchanges, since the resort is RCI-affiliated — but any exchange credit already banked by the seller, or resort-specific perks tied to the original owner, do not automatically carry over. Buyers should ask the seller and the resort to clarify exactly what is and isn't included before committing.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Renters

Renters and buyers researching Cedar Lake Country Resort tend to ask about the restaurant and pool, lake access, and how far the unit is from Gold Coast attractions — all points worth covering clearly in your listing description, along with the week number, unit size and any fixed or floating usage terms. Photos of the lake views and outdoor facilities, plus a note on RCI affiliation, help a listing stand out to the right audience.

Getting There

Advancetown is inland from the Gold Coast's main tourist strip, so most visitors drive in via Nerang. Queensland school holidays and the summer months are the busiest booking periods for hinterland and Gold Coast properties generally, so sellers listing a week for those dates should expect more buyer interest, and renters should plan ahead for the same reason.
