This is not a place to go if you want to “get away from it all” as there are a lot of tourists. The staff and their service is first class but the standard rooms have walls so thin you can hear the neighbours talking. Not my idea of a retreat.

Unique location. Lodge well maintained in keeping with the era. Perhaps a few more comfortable chairs in the library/ sitting room, especially in the evening when the fire has been lit. Loved the walks although one , though short, in my opinion requires a greater degree of difficulty tag.

Hi Anna and thank you for the review. Yes its hard to get the difficulty tag right for everyone. Perhaps you are refereeing to the Moran Falls shortcut through the undergrowth. Its rather muddy under foot and the stream crossing is higher than usual. We hope to see you visit again soon. Warm regards, Gerard and the O'Reillys team.

Thanks Mary for the very kind marks and description of the team here at O'Reillys. Of course we agree wholeheartedly but then we could just be slightly bias!

This property is in a superb location and sensitively connects visitors to a Works Heritage rainforest area. Service was great, as is the ambience and design of the property. This was a last minute trip for us, and we were in an older, less well- designed part of the accommodation where we had a view of the valley over a long expanse of roof and air conditioners. We still had a lovely time, but would choose more carefully next time

Dear Barbara - Thank you so much for the recent review of O'Reillys after your stay with us. Yes we have a variety of accommodation with a multitude of different views. Almost all enjoy a view but as you say only the ones at the very front don't have a roof top in the foreground. Glad to hear that overall you had a lovely time. Come back soon and chat to our friendly reservations team to make sure you book a room with uninterrupted views. Warm regards, Gerard and the O'Reillys team.

Thanks Delloray - yes we are famous for that early morning bird walk and almost always hear that it was worth the early start (Its a 6.45am departure). Thanks to for the kind assessment of the team - your kind comments will motivate them to continue their great work. Warm regards, Gerard and the team.

The amenities were very good and the staff welcoming and helpful. The road up to O'Reilly's left a lot to be desired.

What was offered on O’ Reilly’s website and the reality of our experience did not match at all. The staff service was underwhelming except for one lady on reception who was lovely…
The forest, the birds and the trees however were magnificent despite the disappointing experience of the Retreat Centre.
