THE Novotel Swan Valley Vines Resort is preparing for a busy end of year with the property playing host to the PGA Championships in Oct and also accommodating guests visiting Perth to attend the biennial CHOGM meeting.
Located 30 minutes from inner city Perth, ‘The Vines’ is a great location for both business and leisure travellers.
The resort offers a relaxed country club atmosphere and features 103 rooms, suites and apartments all with balconies or open courtyard; dining venues; a pool & 36-hole championship golf course (Ellenbrook & The Lakes).
‘The Vines’ gm Phillip Smith told TD (staying at the resort with the Qantas group this week) that the property will shortly undergo refurbishments which will include modernising all rooms with new furnishings and amenities to meet “next generation” standards, replacing double beds with king-size beds, installing coffee machines in executive rooms, upgrading its eight conference rooms which are regularly utilised by mining clients, and working on outdoor areas (golf course & pool).
“We’re only 30 minutes away from Perth city, so with these changes I want to give people 30 good reasons to come out and stay with us”, Smith said.
For the business tourism market, ‘The Vines’ director of sales, Verleen Slako said the resort is offering conference packages that include $1 room hire and a rain check guarantee during winter for golfing groups.
