"Let the mists of the mountains dissolve the pressures of a busy lifestyle and open your heart to the warm and friendly mood of O'Reilly's".
Located high in the Hinterland between Brisbane and the Gold Coast in Southern Queensland, O'Reilly's is the perfect place to get close to nature, or to just relax and unwind and leave the stresses of the world behind.
Many things have changed since the owners started welcoming guests all those years ago, but their message has always been the same…welcome…enjoy their hospitality and the unique character of this breathtakingly beautiful part of the world.
This is a hallmark their family and staff are very proud of we enjoy getting to know you while you're visiting, and they've forged many lasting friendships over the years.
The owners learned a long time ago that not all guests are looking for the same sort of adventures and experiences. And so it is with accommodation.
Today O'Reilly's offers a range of guest rooms to cater to all tastes, from the grandeur of the luxurious Canopy Suites through the most popular Mountain View Rooms to the simple yet comfortable Garden View. Most rooms also take advantage of the magnificent mountain views.
Lounge & LibraryTheir Log Fire Lounge Room and Library has a large open fireplace that beckons during the cooler weather. Grab something to read from the Library’s range of natural history and general reading books, and curl up in a comfy chair in front of the fire.
Games Room
The Games Room is equipped with a pool table and table tennis table, but is more importantly headquarters for the Scrub Club, the children’s activities club. You can also borrow board games from reception to enjoy in the games room.
Recreation Facilities
Energize yourself at the Pool and Spa area. Relax in their heated plunge pool, sauna or hot tub after your day’s adventures. There’s even a children’s wading pool, so the whole family can enjoy the spa area.
The Rainforest Bar
Enjoy the jovial relaxed atmosphere of the Guesthouse's favourite meeting place. The Rainforest Bar is their licensed Bar with an all timber interior and large verandah overlooking the mountains with views that go on forever and a lovely warming fireplace (which has even been known to be roaring on Christmas Day).
The Lost World Spa
Opening in March 2008, O'Reilly's Lost World Spa will provide a truely exciting and unique spa experience. Set in the heart of Lamington National Park the facility will provide eight treatment rooms and support facilities providing a full menu of pampering treatments using high quality products reflective of the local area.
This facility will provide the Gold Coast region with a true destinational spa experience and will be a valued addition to the Gold Coast tourism infrastructure.
