Escape, experience and connect as we journey deep into the forest at O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat - home to a vast array of unique flora and fauna and a nature lovers paradise!
Day 1 – Our day begins heading south on the Down Under Christmas sleigh. Lunch will be at the O’Reilly’s Canungra Valley Vineyard before entering the Lamington National Park. World Heritage status was bestowed on Lamington in 1994 in recognition of its high biodiversity. It now includes 20,200 hectares of varying forest types, from temperate Antarctic Beech Forest high on the border ranges to sub-tropical rainforests and the dry Eucalypt Forest of the northern escarpment. On arrival settle into our accommodation and enjoy the O’Reilly’s hospitality and the stunning scenery surrounding us. (LD)

Other activities that are included in our package are the Early Morning Bird Walk, the Bird of Prey Show, a 4WD guided tour or the Glow Worm Tour. (BLD)
Day 3 – Merry Christmas!!! Join in with the Christmas Day festivities. Or just enjoy doing nothing this morning and take it all in. Lunch today will be in the restaurant and a real feast will be served. (BLD)
