We were taken back by the stunning view we had from our villa. Very relaxing holiday for us both
Villas and views were spectacular plenty privacy amongst others plenty for the family to do highly recommend this Australian rain forest experience
loved our stay
Our stay was faultless! O'Reilly's run a fantastic resort! Everything from the gorgeous room, views, pools, bar and restaurant were wonderful. The food was excellent and the activities and tour guides were superb! Of course the rainforest hiking was incredible but to have such wonderful facilities, helpful staff and a wide range of activities to complement it was wonderful. Five stars all round. Thank you. We can't wait to come back!
Absolutely love going up the mountain to O'Reillys. The villas are the best for comfort and style. The mountain view rooms (cheaper ones), I think they have updated some but we always seem to get the old ones which really are in need of a refurbish. Will still go back as we love the place.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay - the walking tracks were well maintained and we had an excellent guide for the walk to Morans Falls. He was most knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the flora and fauna we encountered. He was also most patient - I am not very fit and a rather slow walker. All the staff at the restaurant and the reception were cheerful and very helpful. Might be tempted to return in the not too distant future.
Great Staff / Great Atmosphere / Great access to Walks / loved every minute except the bed was really soft which is the only issue we had, that said we would ask for a firm bed if staying again.
Overall we enjoyed our stay at O'Reillys; great Mountain View room which actually looked out at an uninterrupted view of the surrounding mountains! We enjoyed our Anniversary dinner,when we shared a slow roasted lamb board for two.(Know how the lamb must have felt,being a slow roasted husband after 53 years of marriage!!) Had great weather so managed some local walks.Hopefully will return again 'down the track'.
Service from the staff was fantastic! Hiking right on your doorstep and nature lovers dream. Being a young family we loved the facilities on offer!
What an amazing place, starting from the journey up the range through heritage listed rainforest. Upon arrival the staff are very helpful and informative. The mountain view room has the picture perfect view and is well appointed. The heated spa leading from the pool looking at the ranges is wonderful. The Lost World Spa gives a very relaxing serve of 5 star treatment (Those thick Plush robes feel amazing!). The Infinity heated pool looking out over the picturesque valley was the perfect place to watch the sunset. The walking tracks are well marked and have varying degrees of complexity. Last of all the food is better than the majority of 5 star Brisbane restaurants, and the wine selection perfectly accompanies the food. Thank you for a wonderful stay. see you again soon!
