LONG-ESTABLISHED RESORT SET ON A MOUNTAIN PLATEAU
Calling all lovers of the great outdoors, this family-run retreat provides the perfect base for exploring the wondrous rainforest and mountains of World Heritage-listed Lamington National Park.
Set high in Australia’s legendary Gold Coast hinterland, the O’Reilly’s have been hosting visitors to Lamington National Park since 1915.
Still operated by third generation family members, the property has come a long way from its modest, log cabin beginnings to what is now an expansive, contemporary retreat with a well-earned reputation for nature based experiences.
Framed by Lamington’s thick rainforest, crashing waterfalls and vibrant birdlife, O’Reilly’s is perfectly positioned for early morning bird walks, glow worm excursions, zip lining, 4WD history tours and off-road Segway safaris. A highlight is the Treetop Walk which offers fabulous canopy views from 50-foot high suspension bridges. When not observing local flora and fauna, you can enjoy a massage in the sublime Lost World Day Spa or cool off in the 25-metre infinity lap pool.

The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
