Testimonial
“ I’ve been taking clients to Woodlands of Marburg since the 90s, so I had already developed a great connection to the property when I was planning a corporate retreat to be facilitated by my company – Outgoing Development Australia – late last year. I chose Woodlands over other venues as the property has a memorable, historic feel, and there are a range of large outdoor and indoor areas to run activities – a nice change up from the city conference venues. The space feels like your own, and we had a special team dinner in The Mansion, with fantastic food and service in a heritage atmosphere. Plus after dinner drinks in the cellar! From my experience at many other corporate venues, after the staff greet you, you don’t hear from them again and in fact they don’t even say goodbye to you. However, at Woodlands, the team asked for feedback during the retreat, going above and beyond to make sure we were happy with everything. That’s why I keep on coming back.”
