Enhance your agenda with team-building activities such as golf, canoeing, wine and spirit crafting, gourmet cooking schools, truffle hunting, mushroom foraging, and native animal encounters.

Enjoy fireside gatherings, farm-to-table dining, high teas, or even a touch of indulgence with canapés and bubbles.

Boasting four distinct seasons, the region offers a stunning backdrop year-round. Revel in the vibrant blossoms of spring, verdant summer pastures and cascading waterfalls, the fiery hues of autumn foliage, or the cozy warmth of winter fireplaces.

Venues

Nestled just beyond the city, the Southern Highlands offers a refreshing alternative for conferences and meetings that value both impact and atmosphere.

This is a region where polished facilities meet a relaxed, luxury countryside setting, creating spaces that encourage clear thinking, meaningful connection and inspired outcomes.

Across the Highlands, you’ll find venues that move well beyond the standard boardroom, from elegant country estates and heritage properties to contemporary retreats, wineries and garden settings.

With four distinct seasons shaping the landscape, each time of year brings its own character and opportunities, from fireside winter retreats to vibrant spring gardens and long summer afternoons.

Combined with memorable off-agenda experiences such as curated dining, nature-based activities and hands-on team experiences, each venue offers the flexibility to deliver gatherings that feel purposeful, distinctive and genuinely rewarding.

On Your Plate

The Southern Highlands is a foodies’ smorgasbord.

From paddock to plate and fine fare to great pub grub served in front of a roaring winter fireplace, in an atmospheric contemporary restaurant or outside in a barn with sweeping paddock views, our region is rich and abundant with fresh seasonal produce, so we like to keep things local.

Our venues source from local businesses to bring the Southern Highlands’s finest produce right to your table.

Be it wine, honey, spirits, grass fed meats, organic vegetables, cheese, chocolate, truffles or our locally baked breads and pastries, we gather the best local flavours to provide a unique local experience.
