O'Reilly's Rainforest Retreat is just as the name suggests, an idyllic retreat suited to intrepid explorers and comfort seekers alike. Nestled in the Gold Coast hinterland and located on the edge of World Heritage Listed Lamington National Park, O'Reilly's is a 90 minute drive south west of the Gold Coast and just a 2 hour drive south of Brisbane.

For those wishing to self cater the Villas are decked out with everything you need, including an expansive deck with BBQ area, outdoor dining and a spa bath right on the deck.
The main attraction is of course the Lamington National Park and the stunning beauty of the subtropical rainforest. A range of bushwalks of various lengths and levels take you into the rainforest where you can experience nature up close and personal, from the giant trees to the waterfalls to the wildlife. O'Reilly's Rainforest Retreat also offers a myriad of activities for guests to choose from, some complimentary and some at a charge. The team at O'Reilly's are all about educating visitors about the environment and natural habitat of the rainforest flora and fauna, as well as the history of the area. They offer complimentary bird walks, daily bird feeding, a documentary film, and the popular tree top walks comprised of a collection of suspension bridges right through the tree tops.
Guests at O'Reilly's Rainforest Retreat can choose to venture further with a Segway safari tour, 4WD tour, glow worm experience or flying fox adventure. This Gold Coast hinterland accommodation also features resort facilities such as a restaurant and bar, cafe, mini mart, gift shop and infinity edge swimming pool. For those looking to fully indulge and relax the Lost World Day Spa offers a range of treatments and massages, perfect for the end of a day of experiencing the rainforest. On your way up to O'Reilly's Rainforest Retreat stop in at O'Reilly's Canungra Valley Vineyards for some wine tasting and a bite for lunch.
