– early morning bird walk to ‘meet the locals’
– interpretive guided rainforest walks through Lamington National Park to explore stands of ancient rainforest and stunning waterfalls
– 4WD bus excursions to breath-taking lookouts
– adventure activities including flying fox and giant swing
– glow worm tours, spotlighting and evening walks
Tree Top Walk. The first of its kind in the world, the famous Tree Top Walk provides a bird’s eye view of the rainforest canopy. The highest observation deck is 30 metres (110 feet) above the ground.
THE ENVIRONMENT
Energy
Since 1997, we have applied greenhouse gas strategies to all building projects and refurbishments. In most instances, this has lead to the commissioning of gas and solar services for space and water heating, however heat pumps have been found to be more efficient in some buildings.
Construction
Recycled materials are used where possible in construction of either light weight cabins or blocks of accommodation that contain significant thermal mass.
Water
The water supply at O’Reilly’s is a natural spring high in the mountains. Gravity delivers it to the Guesthouse where it is filtered through sand and then UV light treatment, to ensure that we receive high quality, chemical free water.
Wastewater
A flow-balanced tertiary treatment system sees effluent pass through primary separation and filtration before an activated sludge secondary stage. Clarification occurs prior to a tertiary sand filtration, disinfection and dispersal.
