Plan a weekend away for the end of year team celebrations!

Luke Young • April 26, 2021

Let’s face it, this year has been a tough one for many of us. If you’re one of the lucky ones that have made it to the end of 2020 with a close team of colleagues, you should be celebrating! The time is NOW to start planning something special to say thanks to your team, particularly with gathering restrictions still in place, venues will be booking out faster than ever before. Plan a weekend away to the stunning Coffs Coast with your team to say thank you like you really mean it!



Here are 3 top reasons why organising a weekend away is a fantastic option for your end of year celebrations:


A change of scenery goes a long way.


Booking a venue away from the normality of everyday work life will help your team connect better with each other, getting out of the city and into a slower pace, coastal town is a great opportunity for everyone to really rest and recharge. 


Refocus priorities.


There’s a reason why they call it a getaway. Physically getting away from the office gives your team a fresh perspective on tired issues. Interacting in a new environment will leave your team feeling refreshed and ready to hit the ground running when they return to work!


Shows true appreciation. 


It’s only natural that we all want to feel valued and appreciated, particularly during difficult times. Nothing says ‘thank you for your hard work’ like a few relaxing days away together to cement the team morale.
