O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat

O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat has been a sanctuary for nature lovers for over a century, situated deep within the World Heritage-listed Lamington National Park. The O’Reilly family’s history on the plateau dates back to 1911, and their hospitality became legendary after Bernard O’Reilly’s heroic rescue of the Stinson plane crash survivors in 1937. Today, the retreat remains family-operated, offering a range of accommodation from traditional mountain villas to luxurious rainforest suites. Guests are invited to immerse themselves in the pristine wilderness through guided bird walks, the iconic Tree Top Walk, and breathtaking sunset experiences at Luke’s Bluff. The retreat also features the Lost World Spa, a vineyard in the nearby Canungra Valley, and a commitment to eco-tourism that preserves the unique biodiversity of the region. Whether you are seeking a romantic getaway or an educational adventure, O’Reilly’s provides an unparalleled connection to the natural beauty and pioneering spirit of the stunning Gold Coast Hinterland region.
