O’Reilly’s is redefining the traditional conference into a truly unique corporate retreat where bird calls replace phone calls and delegates can think on a higher plane and climb to new levels, literally.
O’Reilly’s is redefining the traditional conference into a truly unique corporate retreat where bird calls replace phone calls and delegates can think on a higher plane and climb to new levels, literally.
An escape from the office to the tranquil quiet of an environment free from the distractions of phone, fax and email provides the perfect opportunity to clear the head and think strategically about business growth and future directions.
A kilometre above sea-level, in the midst of World Heritage listed Lamington National Park, the air is clearer and so too is the thinking.
Companies can commence their conference with clear minds by beginning with a short reflection, relaxation and focus session facilitated by the Lost World Spa staff.
Alternatively, for those who want a more rigorous start to the day, they can experience climb to new heights on an interpretive guided rainforest walk.
A unique O’Reilly’s conference often involves various outdoor team building exercises. Soaring through the air on the Flying Fox, Giant Drop and Leap of Faith adventure activities are great for pushing boundaries, conquering fears and building confidence.
From meeting fears high above the ground to meeting them face-to-face, conference groups also have the opportunity to get up close and personal with resident ‘locals’ at the ‘Roving Reptiles’ experience. Morning or afternoon tea, or pre-dinner drinks are served with a difference as experienced handlers introduce delegates to juvenile crocodiles, snakes and lizards during their break-out sessions.
O’Reilly’s ‘Sunset Experience’ is the perfect way to broaden business horizons. The 4WD trip to the secluded lookout gives delegates a whole new outlook, with sweeping views of a spectacular sunset over the rolling hills of the Great Dividing Range inspiring limitless possibilities. Watching the sun set from private rainforest lookout, while enjoying drinks and canapés makes the experience social as well as inspirational.
After dinner, return to a bygone era with a fireside experience under the stars. Journey through the lantern-lit rainforest to a corroboree ring, and enjoy bush poetry and story-telling in a magical rainforest setting.
O’Reilly’s Managing Director Shane O’Reilly says setting out to do conferences differently sets O’Reilly’s apart from hotel and other conference venues, and is an approach readily embraced by companies also looking for a point of difference from their competitors.
“At O’Reilly’s we tend not to do ‘normal’ meetings and conferences,” Mr O’Reilly said. “Up here they are more like a retreat, an opportunity to remove your team from the constraints and distractions of the everyday business world, and inject some natural inspiration.”
Meals are often enjoyed outside – from BBQ banquets at popular lookouts, to bush tucker breakfasts by bubbling creeks.
At the base of the mountain, O’Reilly’s Canungra Valley Vineyards offers another offsite option. From dining on the verandah of the historic Queenslander homestead or a picnic by the creek to grape crushing and waiter’s races amongst the vines, the Vineyard adds to the dining, socialising and meeting opportunities in a conference program.
The combination of indoor and outdoor experiences on offer allows for a range of opportunities for team-building and competitive challenges as well as traditional presentation sessions, paving the way for clear thinking and focused direction.
