    A marvelous escape to the beauty of rainforests and waterfalls.

    It was all good - no complaints. Excellent customer service, great meals and so many added activities and attractions to choose from.

    A truly unique location atop a high mountain and within Lamington National Park with stunning rainforests and challenging bushwalks. The morning bird walks were an added bonus seeing wild birds you wouldn't normally be able to get close to.

    We have been to O'Reillys many times over the last 33 years and used to enjoy the botanical gardens very much because of the birdlife at the pond but it was very overgrown, no pond, seemed to be uncared for which was a shame. Used to have members of the family around but we didn't see anyone . The villas we stayed in are excellent and we would definitely stay there again but would probably take our own food and self cater.

    We ate at the restaurant in the main lodge and it was ok, quite expensive - we also ate at the cafe during the day, They seemed to be short staffed, the internet was down at some point so they would only take cash. Luckily we had some so we just had to changed our lunch order to fit in with the cash that we had. No big deal just as well we had some with us. We really enjoyed the morning bird walk, very informative and pre dinner drinks up in the bar with the sunsets are always lovely.

    the road to get there is under construction so it may seem long. Too bad he has to stay at least two nights to test the mountain villas.

    The place is breathtaking. You are at the top of Lamington Park and you appreciate nature on a large scale. Our room had a view of the sunrise and it is beautiful to watch. Everything is available, grocery store, cafe, restaurant, bar and many activities. A great team that helps you for each new day. The road to get there is currently under construction, but it's definitely worth the drive. Thank you all.

    Perhaps a greater variety on the menu, however what was there was well cooked and presented.

    The staff who guided us and drove us on tour esp Max. They had expert knowledge on birds and rainforests. The villa accommodation was exemplary, a home away from home. The birdlife was spectacular and the Raptor show was a big hit with us.

    A little in the pricey side but then it's the only viable option for staying on top of the mountain.

    The selection of snacks and drinks available were both limited and expensive.

    All you can eat breakfast is a little expensive but if you are having a large breakfast so as not to stop (come in off trails) for lunch then it is a very good option. A good range of inclusive (free) and optional (for fee) programs are available.

    The dining room smelled very stuffy, without good ventilation. The steaks were very tough. The roof leaking in the courtyard and outside awning in that area just wasn’t a good look. Hopefully it can be repaired soon. (The criticism is meant to be helpful and not nasty. )

    The Mountain View’s were beautiful. The bar area was relaxing to sit outside and watch the sunset.
