More like a retreat, it is an opportunity to remove your team from the constraints and distractions of every day life in the business world and inject some natural inspiration. The breakout rooms offer spectacular views that stretch forever, meeting venues where native bird calls replace mobile phone calls, and dinner destinations where the brightest lights are the moon and stars.
Team building activities range from rugged bushwalks and problem solving challenges to the fun of the Tree top walk, 190 metre flying fox and Shanghai firing range. Their Canungra Valley Vineyards property offers an alternative for both business and pleasure activities. The 1868 vintage homestead contains intimate meeting rooms and its very own ballroom.
