The MICE head to Kangaroo Island

There’s two new MICE offers hitting the boardrooms this season, and it comes from Kangaroo Island.

Baillie Lodges’ acclaimed Southern Ocean Lodge the Island has launched two for 2016, designed for exclusive groups and delivering top notch savings with its inclusions.

With just 21 suites, the luxury lodge is ideally suited to exclusive-use bookings, with fine-dining, contemporary accommodation and tailored itineraries combining to offer a world-class venue for events, as well as conferences and incentives.

As part of the new offers, Southern Ocean Lodge is available on a sole use basis for two or three nights between May and September 2016 for a minimum of 15 paid suites, a waiver of the usual 18 paid suite minimum. In addition, the offers include ‘run of house’ across all accommodation categories, with premium suites available at no extra cost.

Bonus rewards also apply for the new offers, including gala dinners and celebratory drinks in the wild, and for three night stays, spa and bespoke experience credits, local gin masterclass or wine tastings, as well as complimentary return flights between Adelaide and Kangaroo Island with Regional Express.

Guests will also enjoy the all-inclusive tariff including a convivial open bar exclusively stocked with premium South Australian beverages, all island-inspired dining and in-suite bar, as well as an array of signature experiences, plus porterage and island airport transfers.

Ranked as the top hotel in Australia, and the fourth top hotel in the world in the prestigious Travel + Leisure 2014 World’s Best Awards and boasting a location where pure luxury meets pristine nature, staying at Southern Ocean Lodge is considered by many as the ultimate getaway.

Tourism Portfolio managing director Donna Kessler said the ‘Exclusively Yours’ offers will have attendees talking about it for years to come.

“The offers launched by Southern Ocean Lodge provide the MICE market with a unprecedented opportunity to treat guests to an exclusive stay in luxurious surrounds while indulging in superb experiences. Anyone who chooses to take their next event to this iconic venue will be thrilled,” Kessler said.

Southern Ocean Lodge offers a unique event destination, surrounded by pristine coastal wilderness where guests escape to the normal work environment to recharge and regroup.
