The Bardon Conference Venue to offer the best of both worlds!

Monday, 25th October 2010

As of the 1^st of January 2011 the Bardon Conference Venue will no longer offer onsite guest accommodation - a move that will alter the popular facility’s offer but not their absolute commitment to quality.

Peter Grace, Sales and Marketing Manager at Central, said that as the company also owns five other apartment and hotel complexes in Brisbane conference delegates now had access to the best of both worlds – a country conference by day and time to enjoy the city sites at night. 

“The decision to no longer offer delegate accommodation at Bardon was a difficult one to make, but our commitment has always been to provide the very best conference experience for our delegates and this is how we can do that in the future,” Peter said.

“The Bardon Conference Venue has always been highly regarded because of its unique location – just 6km from the CBD, with seven acres of landscaped gardens surrounded by native Australian bushland.”

“After talking with delegates, we found that although they loved the venue, when it came to downtime they would prefer to be closer to the city and all it offers visitors.”

“By moving the accommodation off-site to one of our other properties, at Spring Hill, West End, Milton, South Brisbane or Kangaroo Point, delegates can enjoy their days in the peace and quiet of Bardon and their evenings sampling the very best bars, restaurants and shopping that Brisbane has to offer.”

“We can still offer exceptional conference and accommodation package deals to businesses wishing to take advantage of our unique offer, with transport options also available.”

By focusing all of their energy and expertise on the conference venue alone, Central believe they can offer an even more tailored and polished conference experience to delegates.

“We will continue to offer that personal and flexible service that Central is known for, and all of the current meeting, event and conference facilities at Bardon will remain the same.” 

This includes 22 individual purpose built meeting, conference and banquet rooms ranging in size and features. The Amphitheatre presents 351m² of tiered seating for up to 320 delegates.

Each individual meeting room offers a variety of unique features including adjacent breakout rooms, oversized whiteboards and built-in extendable room dividers as well as magnificent views of sweeping lawns and native Australian forest gardens.

At Bardon, conference delegates are provided with the unique opportunity of using the surrounding gardens and lawns to serve refreshments and cater to breaks. The extensive outdoor areas provide opportunities for experiential learning programs, and help create an environment beneficial to residential programs and team building activities.

A key division of the Central Group, the Bardon Conference Venue is one of fourteen properties owned and managed by Central Apartments and Hotels. With over 40 years experience in the hospitality, hotel and tourism industry, the Central Group is widely recognised for its business integrity, industry experience, market knowledge and understanding.
