Who said Winter is a traditionally a quiet time here in Yarrawonga/Mulwala??? Hmm well maybe that was me ... a few years back and it actually was!
It's hard when you have a seasonal business so we did something about it rather than just accepting the "oh Winter is quiet story everyone tells" ... we made a real effort to change our thinking and re write the story. We introduced our Winter Sale, and started showing people that Airtree isn’t just a Summer destination; we gave groups a great price to get their crew together and get everyone together for a weekend away.
And it’s worked ... so well ...
Every weekend over Winter this year was filled with groups taking over the resort – and when I sat down and looked at WHY everyone came, it hit me how many different reasons people find to get everyone together and spend some quality time
Our winter Sale weekends included …
• Dave and his family back for another family weekend - retun guests
• Derek and the crew back for their annual King’s Birthday weekend
• Carol, her family & the girls celebrating a surprise 60th – familiar faces from our Winedown
• Jason and his crew here for a 40th birthday - new guests
• Emily’s family back for their third Winter family reunion – and already booked again for next year
• Airlie hosting her Future With Fur dog grooming weekend
• Carol and her family celebrating both parents 90th birthday's
• Ruci and the crew here for a church camp - new guests
• Ollie and the boys for a golf weekend - new guests
• Deb and her family celebrating her Mum’s 90th - an old friend of ours but a new guest
• Helen and the sewing ladies back for their third quilting retreat – & booked again for next year
• Laurel and a group of friends who have been getting together for more than 30 years, spending their first weekend at Airtree
• Pat and the girls taking over Airtree for a Hens Weekend - new guests
• A baby shower & mosaic workshop thrown into the mix
• And we finished Winter with Mal & Tyson’s wedding weekend.
Birthdays from 40 to 90, family reunions, golf, sewing, a hens weekend, church camp, dog grooming, a wedding and groups of friends who just wanted an excuse to get together.
And the part we love the most ... so many of them were people who had stayed with us before and chose to come back again.
So never buy into the talk ... Winter might traditionally be the quiet season around here, but we flipped the script here at Airtree.
We’ve now released our Winter Sale weekends for next year and have kept the price exactly the same:
$3,000 + GST for exclusive use of the entire resort for the weekend, including early check-in Friday.
There are currently only 8 weekends left to book – and one of those includes Mother’s Day. What a great way to celebrate Mum!
So if there’s a milestone birthday coming up in 2027, a family reunion everyone keeps talking about but nobody actually organises, a hens weekend, a friends weekend, a golf trip, you want to run a retreat, or any other celebration – check out the weekends we still have available https://airtreeresort.com.au/winter-sale/
It's a long post but if you got to the end its a huge thank you to everyone who stayed with us this Winter – the familiar faces who keep coming back and all the new guests who chose to stay with us for the first time.
We really do appreciate every booking and love seeing the resort full and being used for so many different reasons.
