Some iPhone Maps will take you towards Binna Burra. This is incorrect. Instead please type in Kidston Street, Canungra. Once you reach The Canungra Hotel, Turn on Kidston Street off the main Road in Canungra (Nerang Beaudesert Road) and it turns into Lamington National Park Road. You will need to stay on this road as it takes you up the mountain, through the rainforest to O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat. Hint: If you pass O’Reilly’s Canungra Valley Vineyards you’re heading the right way.  Also, please be advised that Duck Creek Road, which is an alternate road to O’Reilly’s – is completely closed. Do not try and use this road to get to the Retreat.

The Bird Feeding area is located in front of the Gift Shop. Bird seed can be purchased between 10:00am and 4:00pm daily. The birds are wild animals so we cannot guarantee that the birds will be at the bird feeding area when you arrive. We request that for the health of the birds, you only feed the birds the seeds avaiable for purchase.

Check-in is from 2pm and check-out time is 10am.
