Posted on April 18, 2013 Posted in General, Travel | Leave a comment

The Lancemore Group was last week honored to have their three hotel properties nominated for the Luxury Travel Magazine Gold List Awards.

The Mansion Hotel & Spa at Werribee Park has been awarded third in the division of Best Australian Hotel and also second in the division of Best Australian Property within 3 hours of the city.

Both Lindenderry at Red Hill and Lindenwarrah at Milawa were finalists in the Best Australian Boutique Property and Best Australian Property within 3 hours of the city.

This is the second year running that the Lancemore Group has excelled overall in the Awards. The Lancemore Group operates the three luxury hotel properties in some of Victoria’s most beautiful regions, Werribee Park, Milawa in the King Valley Gourmet District and Red Hill on the Mornington Peninsula. They also operate Lancemore Hill, an award-winning conference facility in the Macedon Ranges.

“We have a great deal of pride in all Lancemore Group hotels having such a strong result in this year’s Luxury Travel Awards.  It is our second year in a row of standout performances, which is testimony to our commitment to excellence in all that we do.  We are especially thrilled to do well in these awards as they are based on a customer poll and not a self-written submission.  A big thanks goes out to all our customers who voted for us and we so love to host at our properties.  It’s an absolute pleasure to provide rich experiences, it is why we exist.” Julian Clark CEO

Luxury Travel Magazine’s Gold List Awards are one of the most comprehensive luxury travel surveys ever undertaken by an Australian magazine and are widely accepted as Australia’s premier luxury travel awards.

The awards are the result of a survey in which tens of thousands of subscribers and readers are asked to nominate the world’s best hotels, resorts, spas, cruise lines, golf courses, airlines and destinations, over 33 individual categories.

The Gold List Awards were run in conjunction with a social media campaign that saw the hashtag #LuxTravGoldList getting in the top trending topics in Australia.

or our second highlight event, we celebrated extravagance, circa 1920s at the Lindenderry Garden Party. The celebration could have rivaled those held by the great literary character Jay Gatsby. Guests and staff went to great effort to recreate an opulent and excessive afternoon inspired by New York’s 21 Club and the Gin Houses of the 1920s, but with a local Mornington Peninsula twist.

A relaxed stand up affair, guests enjoyed G&Ts lake side, accompanied by a sprawling produce buffet & canapés that showed the best of our locally grown produce. The sunshine created a perfect backdrop for the party goers to enjoy lazy naps by the lake while the more active played games of bocce & croquet on the expansive lawns. A swing dance troop danced, while the Southern Cross Jazz Band played, lovers rowed across the lake and friends sprawled out on large rugs across the gardens.

Wine flowed and G&Ts were sipped at a frenetic pace (responsibly served of course) well into the evening, so it was lucky most had the good sense to book a room and stroll back and collapse, after a great day of sunshine, delightful company, entertainment, fine food and spectacular wines.

Here’s hoping we can do it all again next year.
