Nature's Grand Designs.

A world away from Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula has much to offer the conference market.

The Continental, Phillip Island, one of the region's most respected conference venues, is celebrating new ownership and an exciting period of expansion and improvement. Work is continuing on refurbishing the restaurant and establishing an informal open-air café, relocating the fine dining restaurant and upgrading conference facilities with the introduction of state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment.

Located overlooking the beach on the Promenade at Cowles, the four-star property is immensely popular with conference groups. Many take the opportunity to discover Phillip Island's abundant attractions such as the penguin parade or advanced driver training on the Phillip Island Grand Prix circuit.

Peppers Retreats & Resorts group has opened a new golfing resort on the Mornington Peninsula. The Peppers Moondah Links Resort opened in October last year. Described as the most stylish golf resort in Australia, the two 18-hole championship golf courses hosted last year's Australian Open.

Facilities include 60 guestrooms and suites, Pebbles Restaurant and the Endota Day Spa. There are two main meeting rooms and a boardroom. The largest, the Thomson Room, can seat up to 128 people theatre-style.

Woodman Estate at Moorooduc is nestled on 20 hectares of rolling pastures and lush bushland. Guest accommodation is individually designed with a late nineteenth century ambience in the Manor Suites and Chalets. The gracious Victorian manor overlooks a private lake with its own island. The meetings and function rooms contain all the modern facilities required by conference organisers.

The Mt Eliza Business School was founded in the early 1950s and modelled on the Henley Management College in the United Kingdom. Formerly operating as a hotel, it is now a dedicated learning venue and is ideal for corporate retreats and conferences.

Rooms are equipped with ergonomic chairs and feature the latest touch-screen audio-visual equipment including data projector and computers with internet access. As one of regional Victoria's largest residential venues, delegates enjoy luxurious accommodation, a range of leisure facilities and a secluded swimming beach.
