Stunning Mountain Views

I had a fabulous two-night stay in a Mountain View room that offered amazing views over the ranges. The room was spacious, featuring a comfy bed and charming decor. The balcony was the perfect spot to watch the sunset in the evenings. I particularly enjoyed the plentiful birdlife that surrounded the retreat.

Delicious Dining Experience

The buffet breakfast was a highlight of my stay, with plenty of choices and a lovely atmosphere. While the cafe menu was somewhat limited, I enjoyed a tasty lunch there. I recommend indulging in the three-course dinner, which was excellent value and featured local flavors that truly showcased Australian cuisine.

Clean and Comfortable

The studio room featured a nice hot shower, and everything was clean and tastefully decorated. I appreciated the little details, such as the kettle, fridge, and ample supplies of tea and coffee, which made my stay cozy and convenient.

Revitalizing Nature Walks

The nature walks available at O'Reilly's were absolutely fantastic. I particularly enjoyed the early morning bird walk, which was different each day and provided a serene experience in the rainforest. The Box Forest circuit offered a good trek with waterfalls and lush greenery, making it a perfect way to appreciate the beauty of the retreat's surroundings.

I had a wonderful stay at O'Reilly's, where I enjoyed breathtaking nature and plenty of hiking opportunities. The villa was spacious and had a lovely deck spa, perfect for relaxation. However, I did encounter some minor issues with the TV, and some areas could use a general update. Overall, I found it to be an exceptional value for the experience, especially for families looking for adventure.

6.4/10

My time at O'Reilly's was a mixed bag. The Valley View Villa we stayed in was spacious and clean, offering a self-sufficient setup. Unfortunately, the dining options were a letdown—particularly the café and dinner service, which disappointed me with the lack of variety and subpar service. Overall, I enjoyed our stay, but the culinary aspect left much to be desired.

Dining was disappointing, with limited options and a forced three-course meal requirement that felt more like a cash grab than a dining experience.

While there were lovely facilities for bush walks and the villas were nice, the dining options and service were a letdown.

Our stay was a mixed bag. While the mountain view and our retreat room were beautiful and well-kept, we found the atmosphere to be much busier than our last visit, which took away some of the intimacy we had hoped for. The staff were outstanding and the dining experience was a highlight, but poor weather affected our ability to enjoy outdoor activities. Overall, we had a nice time, but it could have been even better.

My partner and I had high hopes for our stay, especially with the beautiful nature focus, but we ended up disappointed due to canceled activities and service issues. While the hotel offered great walks and cozy dining, the experience felt overshadowed by poor communication and limited dining options. The place has potential, but some improvements are definitely needed.
