Mount Buller, Australia, 28 May 2025: Accor Vacation Club has begun a refurbishment of its Victorian Highland Country resort, The Sebel Pinnacle Valley, designed to reinforce its status as one of the region’s favourite upscale retreats.

Located just 30 minutes from Mount Buller and 20 minutes from Mansfield, the four-star resort is ideally situated for guests to enjoy one of Australia’s premier snowfields in the winter, as well as wineries, horse riding and breathtaking national parks for hiking and cycling in the warmer months. The resort remains an important contributor to the local economy, with more than 3,200 stays through Accor Vacation Club last year and delivering an estimated economic impact exceeding $15 million.

The Sebel Pinnacle Valley continues to be highly regarded by members, achieving an average post-stay satisfaction score of 9.1 out of 10.

The refurbishment project – scheduled for completion in quarter three – will see all 43 studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments refreshed in keeping with the property’s lodge-style aesthetic. Upgrades will include a fresh coat of paint, new armchairs, kettles and toasters, new curtain pelmets, bedside lamps and standing lamps, as well as the addition of coffee machines in each apartment, allowing guests to enjoy their preferred brew every morning.

Infrastructure updates will be made to electrical switches, and distribution boards, while maintenance work will be completed across bathrooms, balconies and decks, internal doors and window louvers.

Guests appreciate the resort’s sprawling grounds and facilities, and the distinctive “High Country” architectural style, which will both undergo enhancements. Roofing, barge boards, weatherboard and guttering will all be repaired, while the pool area will benefit from new pool paving, shade sails and sun loungers.

A well-established conferencing destination in the High Country, the resort’s meeting rooms and events facilities will be upgraded with new tables and chairs. Peaks Restaurant will also receive new furniture including balcony settings, tables, chairs, bar tables and bar stools.

The Sebel Pinnacle Valley is owned by Accor Vacation Club, one of the region’s leading vacation ownership clubs with 24 resorts across Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia. The club is developed by Travel + Leisure Co., a leading leisure travel company providing more than six million holidays to travellers around the world every year.

Vice President Operations for Travel + Leisure Co., Duncan Mars, said: “One of the strengths of vacation ownership is the cyclical renewal of our portfolio, which ensures properties like The Sebel Pinnacle Valley continue to exceed the high standards expected by our nearly 30,000 members.”

The Sebel Pinnacle Valley offers guests an expansive property featuring an adult pool, kids’ pool, sauna, tennis courts, gym, 18-hole mini golf course, barbecue facilities and complimentary outdoor parking. Peaks Restaurant serves breakfast every day, and dinner and drinks every night on Tuesdays to Saturdays.

MISSION BEACH, AUSTRALIA, 22 APRIL 2026: Club Wyndham Mission Beach has unveiled a multi-million-dollar refurbishment aimed at strengthening year-round tourism and driving new visitation to the Cassowary Coast.

The resort was a long-time tourist favourite under its previous name, Castaways, and the renewal that has taken place since its purchase by Travel + Leisure Co. is providing tourists with fresh incentive to visit the region. It comes as the Cassowary Regional Council unveils the $19 million Mission Beach Town Centre Revitalisation Project, which includes the installation of underground services to improve amenity, new footpaths and street lighting, enhanced landscaping and upgrades to the nearby Village Green and Porter Promenade.

At the same time, Club Wyndham Mission Beach’s 48 suites have undergone a transformation inspired by the Great Barrier Reef, the Wet Tropics rainforest, and the resort’s absolute beachfront location. A palette of turquoise, coral and white sets the tone, inviting guests to relax and unwind in a tropical setting.

All studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and loft-style apartments have been updated with soft, sandy textures, light timber finishes, fresh paint, and vibrant cushions and ottomans. All furniture and beds are brand new, while kitchenettes have been installed in studio rooms. New kitchens have been installed in the 1-bedroom Grand apartments, while blackout curtains have also been added in both bedrooms and studios, allowing guests to enjoy uninterrupted rest. The reception area, internal corridors and gym were also repainted and renovated in line with the theme.

“As part of our club model of ownership, Club Wyndham Mission Beach will now be part of a regular cycle of refurbishment – meaning Mission Beach will continue to have fresh, contemporary accommodation in the long-term,” said Warren Cullum, Senior Vice President Operations, Travel + Leisure Co.

“Research shows that our vacation owners spend more on holidays than regular travellers and vacation ownership properties have higher rates of occupancy than traditional hotels and resorts. We are already seeing increased visitation to the property and positive guest reviews reflect overall momentum,” he added.

Club Wyndham Mission Beach joined Club Wyndham South Pacific, the region’s largest vacation club with close to 60,000 owners, when Travel + Leisure Co. purchased the property in May last year. As one of the club’s newest additions, owners have showed strong enthusiasm, with occupancies reaching a consistently high level. Previously, the resort closed during quieter periods of the year.

The average post-stay score recorded since Club Wyndham purchased the property – the most accurate means of measuring guest satisfaction – currently sits at nine out of 10, indicating guests are enjoying their time at the resort. Travel + Leisure Co. will also explore additional ways to continue to enhance the guest experience.

“Many of our guests have never travelled to Mission Beach before, and have already expressed a desire to return. They love the seclusion the town offers and the friendliness of the locals, and they enjoy the idea they can experience all the attractions without the crowds found at more established destinations,” said General Manager, Alicea Blanks.

Mission Beach boasts the attractions and conveniences of an emerging regional destination, including the closest coastal launch point to the Great Barrier Reef, UNESCO-listed Wet Tropics rainforest, secluded Dunk Island, long stretches of quiet beach, and some of Australia’s best grade three and four whitewater rapids on the nearby Tully River. As travellers increasingly seek destinations offering “quietude” and deeper, slower travel opportunities, Mission Beach is well-positioned to capitalise on its considerable potential.

“The refurbishment of Club Wyndham Mission Beach, one of our most beloved resorts, and its management by an international hospitality provider has been a boon to our tourism industry. The club network means people across Australia and overseas are hearing about Mission Beach for the first time, driving increased visitation and delivering tangible benefits to local hospitality businesses,” said Teresa Millwood, Cassowary Regional Council Mayor.

The project has also had a direct effect on the region’s economy by employing approximately 15 local tradespeople and contractors. It is estimated that the resort will generate a direct and indirect economic contribution of close to $10 million annually, including through staff wages and guest spending.

In line with Travel + Leisure Co. sustainability standards, quality used furniture from the refurbishment was donated to Vinnies in Cairns.

Travel + Leisure Co. is the developer of Club Wyndham South Pacific and oversees approximately 100 properties across the Asia Pacific region, including Club Wyndham Mission Beach and a further 55 properties in Australia.

Gold Coast, Australia (April, 2026): Travel + Leisure Co. (NYSE: TNL), a leading leisure travel company, has announced a major five-million dollar refurbishment of club apartments is set to begin at Wyndham Surfers Paradise, with a fresh design that captures the unmistakable spirit, colour and coastal energy of the Gold Coast.

The new interiors of 77 apartments – part of Club Wyndham South Pacific, one of the region’s leading vacation clubs – will embrace a sophisticated coastal aesthetic. This vision is realised through an “Ocean Blue” scheme, featuring ocean-blue walls paired with warm white linens, light oak joinery, woven textures, engineered stone, polished chrome finishes and rattan accents that reinforce the connection to the coast.

The Sky Suites on the top floors will feature a “Seafoam Green” scheme, with stone benchtops, polished chrome fixtures, bronze mirror accents and rattan weave detailing, complemented by wave-pattern carpets in sandy tones that echo the shoreline. Flax linen sheer curtains will soften each space, allowing Queensland’s natural light to filter through, while maintaining a relaxed, residential feel.

Across living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms and balconies, the renovation introduces cohesive palettes, updated cabinetry, contemporary furniture and layered textiles, ensuring every suite feels both elevated and inviting. Bedrooms will be thoughtfully refreshed to create a tranquil retreat with feature paint finishes and coastal artwork, while ensuites and bathrooms will include premium finishes and modern fixtures.

Wyndham Surfers Paradise General Manager Patrick Swain said: “When our club members stay, they want to do more than see and experience a destination – they want to feel connected to it. This refurbishment is designed to reflect the natural elements that make the Gold Coast one of the nation’s most iconic tourist destinations.”

“Whether club owners are stepping out to catch a sunrise surf, enjoying an evening in the heart of the action, or simply unwinding on their private balcony, Wyndham Surfers Paradise will offer a refreshed, contemporary retreat that mirrors the beauty and vibrancy of its surroundings. Across our network, our club properties are continually upgraded and refurbished to deliver contemporary comfort, quality and consistency.”

Continuous Investment in Quality

The multi-million-dollar refurbishment forms part of Club Wyndham South Pacific’s long-term strategy to continually upgrade and maintain its properties, delivering exceptional holiday experiences. By reinvesting in its resorts, the club ensures owners enjoy contemporary design, thoughtful functionality and enduring quality with every stay.

In line with Club Wyndham’s commitment to sustainability and philanthropy, all quality pre-owned furniture will be given to Lifeline.

Wyndham Surfers Paradise amenities include a restaurant and café precinct, swimming pool, spa, gym, recreation deck with barbecues and a tour desk. The hotel is within walking distance from world-class beaches and is just a short drive from the Gold Coast’s theme parks, relaxing lush hinterland and some of Australia’s best golf courses. The light rail line runs past the property, conveniently connecting guests to the heart of Surfers Paradise, the broader rail network, and the Gold Coast’s premier shopping precincts.

Club Wyndham South Pacific and Wyndham Surfers Paradise are managed by Travel + Leisure Co., a leading global vacation club and exchange company, which oversees around 100 properties across the Asia Pacific region.
