For over 90 years the O'Reilly family has been welcoming visitors totheir mountain home inthe subtropical rainforest of World Heritage Lamington National Park. Originally the property was to be used by 8 men of the O'Reilly family as they began milking cattle and collecting timber in the McPherson Range.
Three years later, the Lamington National Park was established around the family property which put an end to using the property as farming land. In 1926 the family opened up the property to tourists and ever since it has become a favourite spot with local, national and international visitors.
