The Bellarine

Just around the corner from Geelong is The Bellarine Peninsular. It’s not quite the best kept secret it used to be as more and more people travel to the region. The Bellarine remains a very special place with excellent venues and superb activities - and all just 90 minutes from Melbourne

Offers unique historical hotels with up-to-date conference facilities to cater to any requirements. The regal Vue Grand Hotel in Queenscliff is one of just a few venues in Australia accredited by the International Associate of Conference Centres.

Award-winning wineries are peppered throughout the area, as are superb restaurants, quaint cafés and fresh local seafood.  Allow your delegates to discover the delights of the new Bellarine Taste Trail which includes businesses across the peninsula that are involved in the harvesting and production of seafood, wine and produce. That’s the real beauty of The Bellarine. One minute you’re in the conference room, the next minute you’ve kicked off your shoes and you’re walking along a sandy beach, or sitting in a café looking out over Port Phillip Bay as the big ships are piloted through the famous Rip and out into Bass Strait.

The Great Ocean Road is one of the world’s greatest scenic drives and ranked among the top 20 journeys of a lifetime by Conde Naste Traveler, one of Europe’s leading travel magazines and the top 10 road trips by American Travel Bible, Frommers.

From Geelong, the road winds its way along the coast, making it the perfect area to bring your next conference, incentive or event, and wow your delegates, as you pass through world renowned surfing mecca of Bells Beach and quaint townships of Torquay and Lorne, the splendor of the Otways rainforest and Port Campbell National Park. Delegates can learn to surf, go horse riding, ride a bike, play golf, climb to the top of a lighthouse or just get some fresh air at one of the eight waterfalls in the region.

Torquay is home to two internationally standard conference and holiday resorts, Peppers The Sands Resort and the Crowne Plaza; each offer unique meeting options for 10 – 250+ delegates with a plethora of outdoor activities to excite
your delegates. The picturesque seaside township of Lorne, one of Victoria’s
most renowned conference destinations - boasts some of the state’s largest conference resorts including the Cumberland Conference Centre and Mantra Erskine Beach Resort.

Today, Lorne has managed to marry the stunning natural beauty with the tastes and tastefulness of a sophisticated conference, holiday and conference destination.
