A third generation of the O'Reilly family is involved in this historic guesthouse that has been welcoming visitors since 1926. Nestled high on a cleared plateau, the buildings are closed in on three sides by dense tangled rainforest and open to picturesque mountain views to the west. The timber resort complex is inviting, with upmarket new suites. The six rooms in the Toolona block, built in the 1930s, have communal bathrooms. The six motel-style Garden View rooms have handcrafted maple furniture. The seven Bithongabel rooms are singles. Mountain View rooms overlook the McPherson Ranges and have balconies; the six family rooms in this block have bunks, and two rooms have wheelchair access. Three large Canopy suites have king-size four-poster beds, fireplaces, Jacuzzis, libraries, stereo/CD players, minibars, and bars. One of the former O'Reilly family homes has been transformed into two suites. Each unit has two bedrooms (one with a king-size four-poster bed), two bathrooms, a separate living room, and a two-way fireplace. The large decks have a Jacuzzi, from which you can look out to magical sunsets. A range of 48 one-, two-, and three-bedroom villas are a short distance from the guesthouse.
At mealtime, the maitre d' assigns you to a table, so you get to meet other guests. Head to the hexagonal Rainforest Bar, perched up high for great sunset views, for half-price cocktails from 5 to 6:30pm or a light meal. Other facilities are a cafe and gift shop, basketball court, and free tea, coffee, and cookies all day. The Lost World Spa has eight treatment rooms and offers pampering treatments.
