Case Study
A major Australian food wholesaler hosted their annual 3 night corporate team building retreat at The Moorings Lakehouse. It was a wonderful success with professional planning and wonderful team engagement.
Catering was supplied by our in house chef Nihls Stromland. A daily schedule was thoroughly planned with the focus being on daily workshops in our covered pavilion with tables, chairs and a white board setup. Each morning the team started the day with yoga and meditation conducted by our local yoga instructor. We hosted team sauna / ice bath / breathing sessions, after dinner fire pit socialising sessions, a kayak adventure and bush walk.
