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.

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.

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”
Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, The Ultimate Travel Company stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.

“A TRIP OF A LIFETIME, PERFECTLY PLANNED”
Dear Claire, our trip was 100% amazing. We fell in love with Chile. I love how we were introduced to all of the different parts of the country. Our family was engaged in all of the fun from beginning to end. The lodges were just perfection. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I really appreciate all you did to make our trip a trip of a lifetime.

“INDIA AT ITS MOST INCREDIBLE”
Unbelievably brilliant from start to finish. The Ultimate Travel Company gave us complete flexibility while tailoring the trip to our personal preferences. Communication was excellent throughout, and the in-country team in India was super-efficient at every stage. The quality of the experience was exceptional – and the value for money, remarkable. From expert naturalists to thrilling wildlife encounters (tigers, leopards, 140 species of birds), awe-inspiring temples, the Taj Mahal, scenic walks and warm, welcoming people – not to mention the fantastic curry – it was a truly superb holiday. “Ultimate” really is “The Ultimate Travel Company”!
