What guests think

O'Reilly's Rainforest Retreat delivers a true nature escape inside the national park, with standout rainforest walks, abundant birdlife and sweeping valley views, but its remote setting and challenging drive mean guests should plan ahead for time and supplies.

Rooms and villas offer memorable outlooks and comfortable spaces, though some are older, small, or noisy in windy conditions. Staff are widely praised as friendly and knowledgeable, but a few guests reported rudeness, booking disputes, or billing errors. Dining and facilities feel mixed: great activities plus spa and pools, yet occasional closures, maintenance issues, mobility challenges, higher prices, and cleanliness lapses like insects reported. Expect a scenic, activity-focused stay that favors nature over luxury trimmings.

Lovely villa overlooking stunning rainforest. Beautiful balcony, but unfortunately it was too cold to enjoy it. The villa itself was cold, but we unfortunately arrived in a very cold snap. The hotel facilities were great, with a lovely bar for food (didn’t try the main restaurant). The villa was good for self catering but you need to bring everything with you as only basic supplies in the shop. The walks are incredible and have options for all levels. We did a 20km circuit with stunning waterfalls, bird life and even a python. We will definitely visit again.

This is definitely a RETREAT. If you love nature, just book this place already. There is NO TV in the room, which just allows you to disconnect with the world and connect with YOURSELF. The birds are so friendly and would land outside our balcony door, but they would not come in. As this is so close to the nature, do bring repellent if you are afraid of bugs. Many nature trails to walk and I wished I had stayed one more night, just so I can go for the trails. Too many things to do, too little time. Very nice place with many activities that allows you to spend time with nature. Managed to see wallabies along the road to and fro the resort! Too cute. Staff were very friendly and helpful, so you can rest assure that you're very well taken care of. There's a laundry room so you can do your laundry if needed too! Nice place.

Our third visit to O’Reillys. Bad timing for us (no warning from Hotels.com or O’Reillys), as the main building was closed due to refurbishment and many tours were not running. So instead of eating in the nice restaurant and enjoying good meals, we could only use the Mountain Cafe, sitting on metal chairs and choosing from a basic menu. Not even muesli or cereals for breakfast, just cooked breakfasts. Also, our room hasn’t been cleaned properly and the canteen tables were not very clean. But don’t let this put you off coming, as it is a great place for being at home with nature and seeing rainforest birds. Just check with O’Reillys first on their status before booking.

Its always been a bit of a trade off between quality , cost and location however recent changes have seen the cost far outweigh the quality . The place has glaring maintenance issues hot tub with no hot again , sauna with split , missing timber slats and seats , rotten timber inside the refrigerator cabinet and this is in one of their newer rooms. Then there's the food both the quality and the cost have changed ie quality down and cost way up plus the restricted min. 2 course menu at $80 per head and removal of any cheaper options ie soups and their previous roast option. They seriously need to rethink these cost up changes who ever thought that was a good idea?

We loved the scenery from our Villa, staff were so friendly and helpful. The Glow Worm tour was spectacular, the walks were safe and accessible especially for our 93yr old Grandma - she loved the Boardwalk. The only issues we had was with our Villa, I have advised the staff of these problems so the next guests do not have this happen to them. We were unable to use the air con in our main room for warmth, which we needed especially for our Grandma who really felt the cold, the shower head was broken, the TV needs to be upgraded, the lounge/carpet needs to be steam cleaned as there was a pungent smell in our room, we had to purchase a fragrant candle from the cafe shop for our room to hide the smell. There also was clothing/baby nappy behind the washing machine, only reason I saw it was because I dropped a sock behind it, I felt the cleanliness of the room could have been better. When we left I could not vacuum as the vacuum hose was no where to be found, so had to manually sweep the whole place out. I did think that the staff might have given us a discount or some sort of refund maybe even for the candle that we had to purchased.

Has coffee and fridge which is nice, but lack of a kitchen sink means you have bring your own dishwasher soap and do everything in the bathroom.

You could not ask for a more friendly and welcoming team. We really felt welcome and that nothing would be any trouble. Great experience on the 4x4 with Jackie. Nathan took us to see the galaxy of glow worms in the pitch black of the rainforest. Both excursions were made enjoyable and informative by both the guides who were exceptional. The food in the restaurant was superb. My only issue was the single bed in the family room. Probably was for a child but the mattress was most uncomfortable for an adult. Would love to return again sometime.

Loved our sorry stay, but very disappointed in the resturant food. Their was 3 of us dining and 2 meal were almost ineffable. Our son ordered rump steak which was 1/2 grissle and the rest tough. The chips tasted as if they had been sitting under heat lamps for 1/2 hour. My husband ordered calamari, which was so tough he didn't eat it. I ordered pasta which was ok. It did spoil our trip and works not easy their again. Other than that the resort was very pleasant as we're the staff.
