The Kimberley to get a new luxury property

A new luxury experience in Western Australia's Kimberley coast region is set to open in mid-April this year Berkeley River is a multi-million dollar tourism development located around 150 kilometres north of Wyndham in the East Kimberley. 

Twenty ocean view suites will sit on a coastal dune surrounded by native vegetation. Views take in the Timor Sea, Reveley Island and the mouth of the stunning Berkeley River. The main lodge of the property will have conference facilities.

The property will be ideal for small incentive groups and corporate conferences.

Guests will be able to experience an array of adventures, such as boat cruises, bush and beach walks, fishing, helicopter journeys -- or simply laze by the pool. The river is flanked by towering rock escarpments and a waterfall that flows most of the year.

The Sydney seven: Mirvac's incentive icons

Seven hotels in the heart of Sydney, a couple more near popular Manly Beach and two more that appeal to wine lovers in the Hunter Valley. That’s part of the Mirvac portfolio in New South Wales- and every property is ideal for incentive planners looking for truly impressive accommodation in Sydney.

For ultimate luxury Mirvac offers Quay Grand Suites, with its panoramic views over Circular Quay. The property was named the South Pacific's Best Luxury Hotel in the TripAdvisor 2010 Travelers' Choice Awards, and has also been voted one of the Top Five Luxury Hotels of the World. And then there’s Quay West Suites, where spectacular views of Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House greet you as soon as you walk into apartment.

The Sebel Pier One could not get you closer to the harbour – it sits over the water alongside Sydney Harbour Bridge. Looking for a boutique property? That would be the Harbour Rocks Hotel, a four—star property at The Rocks, close Circular Quay, Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House – few boutique hotels in the world sit as close to three internationally-renowned icons as this gem.

Foodies will love the Sebel Surry Hills, which is located close to some of Sydney’s leading restaurants (and also the city’s nightlife). The same goes for the Sydney Marriott, a few minutes walk from the trendy restaurants dotted around Paddington.

Citigate Central Sydney is a well appointed, stylish and spacious hotel close to Darling Harbour, Sydney Central Railway Station and Chinatown, and was recently the winner of the Australian Hotels Association (AHA) NSW Awards for Excellence as Best Mid Range Hotel of the Year.

For an incentive destination with a twists Mirvac offers two properties at Manly Beach (an increasingly popular destination with international visitors to Sydney), Q Station and the Sebel Manly Beach, are just thirty minutes from downtown Sydney, giving the best of both worlds.

And for wine lovers the Sebel Kirkham Hunter Valley gets you up close to some of New South Wales’ leading vineyards; while the Sebel Newcastle Beach is ideal for those who want their wine discoveries matched with a little chilling out by the beach.
