Last month Lauren joined 13 clients for an incredible overnight famil at RACV Torquay Resort — and what an experience it was!
The day started with a beautiful lunch in the stunning Spring Creek Retreat private dining room, where we were joined by Liz Price, Great Ocean Road Regional Tourism. Liz guided us through a unique sensory journey of the region that really set the tone for the stay.
A highlight of the day was the guided resort tour, which included a look at the newly refurbished bedrooms and the extensive conference facilities — complete with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the golf course and out to the ocean. The natural light and sweeping views made it easy to see why this is such a standout venue for events.
Then it was time to zip up the wetsuits for a team-building adventure — Sunset Kayaking with Go Ride A Wave. What began as a relaxed paddle soon revealed a competitive streak amongst the group, with event planners racing to the finish line and proving they can hold their own on (and off) the water.
After a quick refresh, we headed into the heart of Torquay to experience a delicious and thought-provoking dinner at Samesyn 2.0, a low-waste fine dining restaurant. With a strong focus on sustainability — including the remarkable fact that there isn’t even a rubbish bin onsite — the dining experience was as inspiring as it was memorable.
Following dinner, guests enjoyed a lighthearted round of trivia over a nightcap before retiring to the comfort of their bedrooms for a blissful night’s sleep. An early morning yoga session helped stretch out sore kayaking muscles, followed by a scrumptious buffet breakfast to round out the famil experience.
It was such a valuable opportunity to connect, collaborate, and see firsthand everything RACV Torquay Resort has to offer for conferences and events.
