Relaxing place with heaps of birds
Pros:

Amazing place. Great wildlife and birds of prey shows and bird feeding. Managers welcome was really interesting, and came with a free glass of bubbly. Lovely view from our rooms balcony, with friendly parrots. Nice meals in the bar (although bar is very small, so it can be hard to find a table). Very peaceful relaxing atmosphere.

Cons:

Awful road to get to OReillys, but worth the effort once you arrive

Amazing 2 nights stay
Pros:

Wonderful place to spend a few relaxing days. We booked a villa with the valley view which was amazing. Fully equipped with everything you could need including barbecue and jacuzzi. Everything was perfect. Expensive bit worth every penny

We had a wonderful stay but did not enjoy the food provided by O’Reilly’s. It was particularly the meat that was cooked
Pros:

The accommodation was very good and comfortable although a little tired looking.
The views and walks made up for any short falls in the accommodation.

Pros:

Loved it. It's an exceptional place

Cons:

Well it could be modernised but then it might lose some of its charm. But there were leaky roofs and gutters all over the place and furnishings were tired and a bit grubby

Cannot fault anything. Exceptional stay.
Pros:

Stayed in a 2 Bedroom Valley View Villa for 4 nights. This is our second stay here, we enjoy it so much, we keep coming back. The rooms are exceptional with amazing views, particularly at sunrise and sunset. The spa on the deck, the beautiful walking tracks, delicious food, exceptional day spa, amazing activities for adults and children. Always a relaxing and fun stay. Thank you 😊

Pros:

Lovely villa. The spa on the balcony is wonderful. The beds were very comfortable. Location is amazing . The lost world spa was absolutely fantastic. The birds visiting the balcony was sweet. Amazing nocturnal walk tour and guide

Cons:

Some planted trees right in front of the balcony need trimmed as the block the view from the spa and the seating area inside. A real fireplace would be awesome
