The hinterland between Brisbane and the Gold Coast in southern Queensland is another world of lush rainforest and misty mountains, with an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity. Visitors can marvel at glow worm caves, stroll through the canopy of ancient trees, and swim in natural waterholes, while relishing a breath of fresh air away from the city.

Local Amenities
O'Reilly's Rainforest Retreat is 90 minutes from the Gold Coast and less than two hours from Brisbane. It is on the western edge of the Lamington Plateau, making the views at sunset particularly beautiful. The nearest village is Canungra, about a 45-minute drive away. Temperatures are usually about five degrees lower than Brisbane temperatures, so it’s worth taking warm clothes at any time of year.
Reviews
O’Reilly’s won a Tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence 2012 and boasts a number of excellent reviews.
Oreillys, Lamington National Park is one place which deserves to get a 10 out of 10 any day. This is one holiday locale for which we would use the word "perfect". The management and staff were very well trained and very professional. The guides were very knowledgeable about the place and flora and fauna of the region and enlightened us during the different tours we were part of. My wife and I…stayed in Garden View Room. It had breathtaking views of the mountains and the greenery around.
