RECENT refurbishments to the 4 star Rydges Oasis Resort Caloundra promise an even more complete conference experience.  The extensive improvements include upgrade of the accommodation rooms with flat screen televisions, stylish new carpets and painting throughout.  A feature is the installation of triple sheeted Rydges ‘dream beds’ that are widely regarded as the most comfortable beds offered by any accommodation house in the country.

Rydges Oasis Resort Caloundra General Manager Joanne Acott said the upgrades have already been warmly welcome by business guests.

“The response has been outstanding, both from the conference market and metropolitan businesses seeking a retreat for meetings.

“Our location is ideal for Brisbane-based companies that want to escape the confines of the office, but also have their people concentrate on their purpose for being here in a professional atmosphere and without distraction.

“We can accommodate up to 250 in five air conditioned conference rooms offering state of the art facilities.

“And being just one hour north of Brisbane and the airport, we are ideally placed to welcome city, interstate and overseas conference business.

“We spent an enormous amount of time working on our service levels and ensuring all the expected outcomes of our guests are achieved,” she said.


Ms Acott said the resort boasts a number of distinct points of difference.

“One of those is our 10 acres of tropical landscaped grounds that are ideal for breakout areas, working discussion groups and team building activities.

“Themed dinners can also be arranged under the stars or in a specially decorated marquee with our manicured lawns perfect for outdoor trade events.

“We have a dedicated on-site conference coordinator as well all the latest, state-of-the-art audiovisual support facilities and the services of a staging company.

“Delegates and accompanying people are well catered for off-site as well given our close proximity to all major Sunshine Coast attractions such as the world famous Australia Zoo and Underwater World,” she said.


Rydges Oasis Resort Caloundra is situated just meters from the shores of Golden Beach and within easy walking distance of the eclectic city centre.  It boasts 182 rooms from Hotel Spa Rooms to self contained 2 and 3 bedroom villas with a variety of accommodation styles.  The award-winning restaurant The Deck, the famous Legends Bar, the tennis court and swimming pool are all surrounded by a tranquil water lily-filled lagoon - the perfect setting for a quiet drink and a superb dining experience. 

 “Caloundra has undergone some amazing improvements over the past year or so, so even those who may have conferenced or stayed with us before as holiday guests will be in for some pleasant surprises,” Ms Acott said.

People wanting further conferencing or business meeting information can call 1800 072 096 or email reservations_caloundra@rydges.com

When Governor Macquarie named King Street & Kent Street afterKing George III and his son The Duke of Kent, little did he know that this would inspire the minds of the Deconstructed team as they take on their newest venue, the City Hotel Located on the corner of King Street & Kent Street, The City (as it will come to be known) has been totally overlooked in recent years.

Despite its key location and vast capacity, its an undiscovered gem. Part 1 of the development phase is now complete, with the
launch of the aptly named Kent Street Living Room, an inspired nod towards The Duke of Kent and his long-reigning and highly
commemorated daughter Queen Victoria. Formerly, a disused Mexican themed restaurant, the Kent Street Living Room
combines crystal chandeliers, flock wallpaper and chesterfield leather couches with Tom Dixon lights, a cracking cocktail
list (by Barman Of The Year, Jeremy Shipley) and new sound & DJ equipment. The Kent Street Living Room is a purveyor of
good times.

Launch Event
Friday 19th February
5.30pm – 8pm
All welcome. RSVP Essential.
