Look, we all know that SA’s heaps good, but it’s still nice for the rest of Australia to give us some love. At the Qantas National Tourism Awards last week, Adelaide Hills Convention Centre (AHCC) got the props it deserved.
Up against the best of the best in Australian tourism operators, the night was a huge success for South Australia, taking home a total of two national gold wins, three silver awards, and five bronze awards.
The Adelaide Hills Convention Centre, located within the beautiful Hahndorf Resort, is proud to announce that they have been named the Best Business Event Venue in Australia, providing unique, world class business event services and facilities.
General Manager, Victoria Fox along with owners Brian and Lynn Schirripa accepted the national award on the night. “This award recognises the hard work that our dedicated team has put in for the last three and a half years to build a quality tourism product that’s putting Hahndorf and the Adelaide Hills on the map. I thank the Schirripa family for having the passion and vision to invest in and develop our state of the art venue “, says Victoria Fox.
Adelaide Hills Convention Centre is located a convenient 20 minutes from Adelaide’s CBD and was fully-renovated just three years ago. With capacity for 400+ guests, the centre offers an unparalleled function centre to host conferences, corporate incentives, weddings and gala events.
Rising above the valleys in the picturesque Mount Lofty Ranges, the purpose-built centre is perched atop 32 acres of manicured grounds. Service excellence is the teams number one priority, providing incredible food curated by the centre’s on-site 5-star Executive Chef, fully integrated AV solutions, stunning on-site accommodation, break out room options plus event management services to create flawless events that keep clients nation wide coming back again and again.
Four years later, following significant investment, planning and development, the original vision has now been executed. The centre welcomed over 10,500 guests for 142 events in 2017 with 30% of our guests dining elsewhere in the region.
The centre now employs 26 staff, 80% of which live in the Adelaide Hills and 100% of the centre’s suppliers are based locally. This national win is the best recognition the team could have ever asked for.
