What are the advantages of mansions over hotels for Conference And Meeting Venues?

When you are searching for conference and meeting venues you automatically start to think of the best hotels, rather than mansions. This is most probably because there are not many mansions open to the public and of those that are open, not many have the type of business facilities you need to make your next conference a success.

Convention & conference venues: why select a mansion for your next meeting?

It is a sad fact that there not many mansions still exist and of those that do, not many offer themselves as business venues. So it is really nice when you find a historic mansion that is full of character, sits in 250 acres of sweeping grounds, is close to Brisbane and has everything you could possibly want in a conference and meeting venue.

This fabulous establishment is Woodlands of Marburg, which is the setting for a heritage listed, historic plantation mansion that offers accommodation, fine dining and some of the best conference facilities in the area. Located only about 45 minutes from Brisbane CBD (south west), this venue overlooks the Marburg Valley and is a fabulously old (built in 1890), fully refurbished historic mansion with lots of character.

As far as conferences and meeting venues go, Woodlands of Marburg is right there at the top of the list. Where else can you sit in beautifully tended gardens, networking and building relationships in the wonderful Queensland sunshine? You could even have a competitive game of tennis or a refreshing swim in the half Olympic pool before the conference dinner.

If you have a conference that spans a couple of days then this is the perfect venue for you, as Woodlands of Marburg has lots of accommodation and plenty of things to do. On the other hand, if your convention only runs for a single day, then everyone will benefit from being out in the country air and enjoying good food.

Woodlands of Marburg has all of the business conference facilities you expect in any first class conference and meeting venue, but it also has history, plenty of character and 250 acres of wonderful grounds. So next time you are asked to book a convention & conference venue, broaden your horizons and check out Woodlands of Marburg.
