Escape To The South Coast

With its mild climate, untouched beaches and spectacular wilderness areas, the NSW South Coast is a perfect escape for corporate groups.
The region begins just south of Sydney at Illawarra and extends to the Victorian border, offering a magnificent diversity of coastal, forest, mountain and rural country.

Its natural, unspoiled environment provides for a variety of experiences – peaceful, relaxing or adventurous. Local festivals, art and crafts add to the region’s rich culture.

A conference at a venue such as the Coachhouse Marina Resort in Batemans Bay is ideal for delegations of 10 to 200.

The waterfront venue has four main conference rooms and 4½ star Federation-style villas overlooking the Clyde River, allowing delegates to enjoy morning tea while watching pelicans come in for a smooth landing.

With 16 acres of landscaped grounds bordering Corrigan’s Beach, the resort offers teambuilding activities and a range of itinerary ideas to bring delegates closer together for teamwork and leadership. The resort’s restaurant is central and overlooks the river and tidal lagoon.

Delegates stay in one to three bedroom villas, all situated among palm tree lined streets. Conference organisers receive a complimentary upgrade to a luxurious spa suite.

There are extensive outdoor entertaining areas, tennis courts, a beach volleyball court, canoes, bikes and barbeque areas throughout the resort.

Bateman’s Bay is also home to the boutique resort Comfort Inn Lincoln Downs, which features 33 beautifully appointed rooms and suites.



With new owners, a new manager and new chef, the boutique resort is being re-invigorated. As owner Andrew Veron explains, “It’s all about enhancing what is a tranquil country resort by the sea.”

Lincoln Downs’ 10 acres of sprawling English-style gardens have been faithfully restored, complete with resident peacocks. The interiors haven’t been ignored either. In an Australian motel “first”, Lincoln Downs has put in pillow-top beds in a number of rooms, providing ultimate comfort and luxury to ensure a better night’s sleep.

Wireless technology enables faster access to broadband and a state-of-the-art conference centre contains three meetings rooms, complete with comprehensive audiovisual and business facilities for up to 150 people. All meetings rooms take advantage of natural lighting and garden views.

The resort has a 15 metre salt-water swimming pool, tennis court, billiards room, barbeque area and cocktail lounge with an open fireplace.

WOLLONGONG WEALTH

Novotel Northbeach Wollongong has confirmed its place as a top conference venue by taking out a 2005 Meetings and Business Tourism Award. The resort’s general manager, Mr Walter Immoos, says the hotel was thrilled to receive the state tourism award. “This award confirms that not only are we the best in the region, but that we can also more than compete with city hotels and provide a unique conference venue,” Immoos says.

The hotel also won an award for outstanding community service, recognising the commitment it has to extensive support and sponsorship of a variety of charities and community activities. It took out the Illawarra Tourism Award in the Meetings and Business category for the second year. Mr Immoos says the hotel attributes its success to its idyllic location, staff dedication and innovative approach to tourism and customer service.

The hotel’s multi-award-winning conference facilities have a 600 seat pillarless ballroom and extensive pre-function and exhibition area catering for up to 30 exhibitor booths.

The hotel also features extensive leisure facilities, such as a tennis court, gym, pool, sauna and on-site day spa. It is only minutes from a variety of activities – beachfront cycle and walkways, surfing, skydiving, bushwalking, golf and deep-sea fishing.
