“Overpriced and disappointing”

Reviewed 23 May 2013 NEW

We stayed at O'Reilly's recently and were very disappointed with the quality and standard of the accommodation. We had a 'retreat' room for $200 per night for two nights. It was like being on school camp - no tv, minimal heating (and it was freezing!!), the towels were terrible - thin, fraying, worn - I'd not use them to dry... More

“Beautiful Place to explore the rainforest”

Reviewed 14 May 2013

A beautiful setting in middle an impressive rainforest. This place is very well organised: They offer night tours to see glueworms, day trips with buses or Segaways for those who are too lazy to walk. You can climb up to the top of the tallest trees (60m). The walking tracks are very well outlined and easy to follow. It's a... More

Thank you for your review. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the surroundings and thought the Retreat was well organised, especially with the variety of the eco-activities we provide. I'm sorry to hear you thought the management of people was industrial. At times, we do receive large numbers of day visitors and manage this as best we can. I'm happy... More

“Anything less than a "retreat" I cannot imagine”

Reviewed 11 May 2013

My partner and I visited O'Reillys having been intending to go for some time. We both felt amazed that after 25 years of travel in all continents we have a new winner for the most horridly overpriced place ever visited. If you feel the words "retreat" and "spa" in any way mean relaxing or quiet or nestled in nature then... More

Thank you for taking the time to write a review on Tripadvisor. I am sorry to read that you found many aspects of your stay to be unsatisfactory. We most certainly do not have any reports of bed bugs and while we have looked for a booking in your name we are unable to find one to trace back to... More

“Be sure to ask for a villa with a view”

Reviewed 6 May 2013

The national park is amazing but I had expected a fabulous view from my $$$$ villa but didn't get it. Yes it was lovely and had a verandah spa but it was probably the only villa without a view no.17 so make sure you request a scenic look out. As for the food no doubt the pensioners on their bus...

Thank you for taking the time to share your valued feedback. We agree, Lamington National Park is a spectacular place and it is pleasing to read you enjoyed the veranda and spa of the villa accommodation and the facilities and treatment of the Lost World Spa. The villas have two types of views - Rainforest and Valley. Villa #17 has... More

“We did not stay, we just had lunch and enjoyed the views”

We did a day trip from Tweed Heads up to O'Reilly's. I have heard for years what a great location it is and we were not disappointed - wonderful views. Some of the older accommodation looks a bit tired from the outside but we asked to see one of the rooms and although small it was well appointed.

Thanks for the review! It is a magnificent location where you can really get in touch with nature again. The property does endure a lot of weather and we try to keep our buildings properly maintained as best we can. We are currently in the process of updating various areas of the Retreat. We are happy you enjoyed your time... More

“Breathtaking Oasis, staff could be more flexible”

Reviewed 1 May 2013 via mobile

What an amazing place, I have never been anywhere quite like this and thoroughly enjoyed my 4 night stay. The mountain road is very treacherous and quite stressful to manoeuvre, however once you reach O'Reilly's, it's all worth it! We enjoyed some walks through to Lamington Falls and an extended version of this. We saw amazing wildlife (blue lobster!) lorikeets... More

Thank you so much for your lovely comments. It really is such a special and unique part of the world and I’m so glad that you enjoyed your 4 night stay with us. There is a lot of beautiful fauna and flora in Lamington National Park. I am thrilled you managed to enjoy a sunset cocktail at our bar; it... More

“Some much needed R & R”

Reviewed 24 April 2013

We only stayed 1 night for a weekend getaway but spent a glorious 2 days here. There is so much to do at the retreat. Hiking, segway tours, bird feeding, spa treatments etc are among the activities. Waking up to the birds on our balcony surrounded by beautiful rainforest was just what we needed.

Thank you for your feedback. We are very happy to hear that you had such a wonderful time staying at O'Reilly's back in November and that you enjoyed the activities the retreat provides. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back soon. More

“The villas are the bes option, though more expensive”

Reviewed 23 April 2013

We stayed 2 nights, and enjoyed the beauty of the park and the friendly helpful staff. In particular, Jacqui and Young in the restaurant were lovely. Seeing the possums come in for a feed just outside the windows was great. The villa we had was very comfy, but sadly the heater didn't work the first night. The maintenance man came... More

“Mountain Villas are excellent”

Reviewed 13 April 2013

We stayed in the Mountain villas which cannot be faulted. They were extremely well layed out, with two ensuites, great jacuzzi on the terrace and plenty of space both inside and out. The gas fire worked great and having split a/c - heat units in each room meant you were always at the temperature you wanted to be. The kitchen... More

It is great to read that you enjoyed your recent stay at O'Reilly's, especially that you couldn't fault the villas. The view and amenities are world class.
