O'Reilly's Mountain Cafe and Gift Shop

It has been five years since our last visit, but this place is still a lovely spot to get some fresh air. The hospitality is excellent, and there are many beautiful birds around. However, I was a bit confused as to why they decided to do yard maintenance on the weekend, which is typically a busier time, instead of during the weekdays.

It's a beautiful place with plenty of walking tracks for beginners and experts. There is a great restaurant with unbeatable views after walking through a gift shop at the front. Feeding the parrots is a must do! There is plenty of parking and easy access up to the main building through the courtyard. Very clean toilets too. This place is great for all ages.

Loved the views and opportunity to feed the birds. They come right onto you and you can get some great pictures with them. Definitely worth doing if you're up visiting

Yummy pizza and coffee. Awesome views. What’s not to like? Maybe the price but you gotta pay the mountain tax.

I love this restaurant/cafe.
But Shouldn’t serve rotten salads.
Customer service is 4.5/5(calm and courtesy but should check plate are dry and clean.)

Been here many times. Good food with a great view. There's a gift shop for the tourist. Toilets if your up there to do one of the beautiful walks. You can feed the native birds which us very popular and yes they will land on you if you want a photo. The tree tops walk starts from just outside of here.
The treetop walk is a great activity for the family. It gets very busy here on a public holiday.

Great view and tasty lunch at the Cafe. There's a gift shop as well with a small convenience store. You can feed the birds, do the treetop walk and wonder through the garden. There's also longer walks around the area as well. The drive up from Canungra is long and windy on a narrow road which is unsealed as you get closer to O'Reillys. It takes about 50 mins from the bottom of the road. There's limited parking when it's busy so it gets difficult to find a park. But it's definitely worth the drive, a nice spot for a day trip or weekend away.

People from all over the world works here, it is a great place for a quick chat about the country they are from. Staffs are fun and always happy to service you. If you ask me, I think the food here are taster than the restaurant up the top. Prices are a bit more affordable too. Their pizzas are definitely better here, oh, and their plate of chips are very big. We have been to O'reillys twice in a matter of two months and this time the cafe was our only go to. Views, oh, the views... what can I say... For a meal for two for under $60, with a view like they have.. one could not ask for more.

saw negative reviews but I was actually really happy with my late lunch experience! all the staff were very hospitable and friendly better than i expected! the food portions are generous couldnt finish. took photos midway. the pumpkin soup was half price too which was awesome. didnt get any main meals so can't comment on thise. the view is outstanding and such a peaceful relaxing spot for food. Yes the prices are higher than average restaurant but obviously due to the experience and area, plus with the portiona the prices seemed fine to me anyway!

A gift from our very thoughtful children, our three days at O'Reilly's were glorious. The panoramic view from our balcony was as spectacular as it was ever-changing and the accommodations were spacious but cozy. The food, in both the bar and the dining hall, was exceptional, considering we were at the top of a mountain! And ever-present O'Reilly clan certainly goes out of their way to ensure you are are made to feel at home there. Add to that the Lammington National Park scenery, hiking, the programs [do not miss the Glow Worm night trip] and the unique plants and birds found there, and you will have a trip to remember - especially the drive!

What a fantastic journey up the mountain road. zig zaging up through duel lane, single lane, 180deg switch backs, twisty roads, adventure bikers dream. Nice little trees top walk, climbed the ladder straight up the tree to a look out. Unfortunately the trees tops have grown above the top landing so the view was very restricted. There's a nice deck overlooking the mountains which is tranquil.
There's cabins where you could spend a weekend and go on a few of the tours O'Reilly's put on but I was just there day tripping. I will go back for either a breakfast or lunch.

Good spot, came up for a day trip. Dont get sent by google maps to duck Creek Rd as it was closed and it looked to suit 4wd only. Go through canungra and save yourself the detour. Plenty of awesome walks to go on. The tree top walk was great and the tree lookout was awesome! Also the python rock lookout walk is a nice easy one with great views at the end. Will be back to check out some more tracks. The staff at the Cafe and restaurant were all friendly and the food was reasonably priced. Make sure you take water with you if hiking. Enjoy!!

Breathtaking views on way up , Cafe was good, food was on point , they forgot my latte so had to source that but yes was great , we are locals to the gold coast so it's good visiting the areas we live in, walking tracks are a must alsi

Good selection from snacks to meals, good coffee and a selection of sweet treats. Just don't leave your food unattended or the birds will take it straight off your plate.

Despite going here on Anzac Day and they were packed with visitors I mean, line was out through the gift shop to order food. The line was fast moving, staff are really friendly, tables were quickly cleaned and food came out fast and hot. Quality remained at high standards. 10/10 would recommend eating at the cafe any time you visit. The chicken burger it very filling and they are well priced for the serving sizes!

Finishing a three night stay at O’reillys. villa accomodation absolutely beautiful stunning scenery. The bird 🦅 of prey show was a stand out, amazing bird of pray handler “nick” was a wealth of knowledge and really generous with his time, being able to get up close to “Dezzy” the wedge tail eagle truly majestic bird. Looking forward to returning soon.

P.S restaurant was great food was really good, for the Karens out there complaining about it BYO food. Eating a meal on your own balcony overlooking mountains and valleys is fine by me 😊

Fabulous view. We didn't eat here, but the coffee was great, the staff were friendly and the wild parrots were inquisitive too.

Awesome food! Only open hours 1100-1430 Mon-Fri. Had the pumpkin and beetroot salad and the barbeque platter for 2. BBQ platter fed 4 hungry adults! Excellent quality, service, and views.

The gift shop offers different products of the O'Reilly's retreat, including jewellery, T-shirts, wines, mugs, plates, etc. Prices are not low, but the product worth it. There is also a cafe attached to the gift shop featuring both the indoor and mountain view outdoor areas. Beautiful birds fly around.

A neat cafe in this mountain retreat.
Good menu, great food, fair coffee.
Reasonable pricing, we would come here again.
We stopped for lunch on our day adventure to the park. Great chicken salad, salmon salad. Coffee is medium roast, mildly aromatic, slight acid finish, low bitter after taste; quite good.
