The Lamington National Park and Lost World region are a must visit destination for anyone coming to Australia (and anyone living here). A rainforest walk on the graded tracks (the longer the better) will transport you into another world and on a clear day you can walk from O'Reilly's to the old volcanic rim (~ 2h) and look across to...

I thorough enjoyed our time at O'Reilly's, the best word to describe it is QUIET! And scenic, of course.
The road getting up there wasn't half as bad as I was expecting. Traffic wasn't heavy on both our way up and down (around 10 a.m. both times, on a holiday weekend no less) and there was plenty of space for...

Quite a journey to get to this place.....36km along a road that "snakes" through forests and up the mountainside!!....but worth it for the truly unique place that awaits you!! We stayed 2 nights in an older "garden view" room which was rather small and basic...no TV or telephone.....done deliberately to make you appreciate the true "back to Nature" experience....this is...

Everything about O'Reillys was perfect. The sunsets from our room were stunning every night. Fantastic food!
The walks were enough of a challenge to let you know you had exercised with awesome rewards. What views! And the waterfalls.
We saw whip birds, pademelons and the beautiful regent bower bird.
Thank you to all the wonderful staff we met. You were...

We booked knowing our friends had booked one of Rain forest Villa's which we'd heard were fabulous. We booked a Mountain View room which was, to be kind, ordinary. Really really ordinary. It was like some 70's or 80's style country motel room. There had obviously been an attempt to modernise with a good bed but the rest was really...

Thank you for taking the time to share your comments on TripAdvisor. It is true our guesthouse is old, we have been around since 1926 and hope to be still around for some while yet. Our Retreat rooms are designed to provide an escape from the world so guests can enjoy the natural surrounds, and as such do not include...

Wow - what fantastic villas. Awesome views and top rate fittings. Accommodated our extended family very comfortably, even with 8 of us. Great walks, especially the early morning one with glen who was entertaining and informative.
Pity about the food though. We thought we would spoil ourselves eating out one night in the restaurant for a family celebration. We have...

Thanks for your valued comments, particularly your feedback on Glen Trelfo (did you know he has been with us for 32 years now!) and your stay in the villas. I must admit, I am a little surprised about your comments on the food in the Dining Room – we generally receive great feedback. Rest assured your comments have been passed...
