CLUB WYNDHAM DUNSBOROUGH UNVEILS $5M ROOM REFURBISHMENT

DUNSBOROUGH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA (10 JUNE, 2024) – Club Wyndham Dunsborough, a leading beachfront resort in the Margaret River region, has officially unveiled a $5 million refurbishment of its 82 apartments.

The resort is part of Club Wyndham South Pacific – one of Asia Pacific’s leading vacation clubs – with close to 60,000 members and a network of 54 properties across Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, Hawaii and Europe. The club is managed and developed by Travel + Leisure Co., the world’s leading membership and leisure travel company.

Club Wyndham Dunsborough’s 82 apartments, including studios, 1 and 2-bedroom standard, deluxe and Grand configurations, were transformed with a fresh colour palette inspired by Geographe Bay’s sand, sea and sun, with new furnishings, soft furnishings and photography of local landmarks and nature.

The apartments were repainted with a clean and neutral whites and soft greys, while the new furnishings were selected to emphasise comfort and promote relaxation. Common spaces were re-floored with high-quality vinyl to promote coolness during warm days, while the 100 per cent wool carpets laid in the bedroom areas enhance warmth and comfort during the night.

All bathrooms and powder rooms were also renewed, while the floor plan of the two-bedroom Grand apartments was reorganised to include an ensuite attached to the main bedroom for improved privacy.

“Our commitment to our Club Wyndham South Pacific members is to keep their properties modern and fresh by continually updating what we offer and providing this type of renewal under a multi-year refurbishment calendar,” said Warren Cullum, Senior Vice President Operations of Travel + Leisure Co.

“Spanning over two years and costing approximately AU$5 million, this staged refurbishment has been extensive. In the last few years, we have also rolled out a free activities and complimentary equipment hire program across the club portfolio and club members have benefited at Dunsborough with complimentary access to e-bikes, push bikes, kayaks, and fishing equipment,” he added.

The Travel + Leisure Co. team has been praised by the hospitality industry for its focus on sustainability and quality used furniture for this project was once again donated to local non-profit organisations and charities.

Research has indicated the club members utilising the resort, having paid for their accommodation through vacation credits, often spend greater amounts in the economy. It is estimated club members spend more than $3,500 per party per trip, equating to about $17 million in economic impact that club members have in the local region every year.

Positioned on the coast of Geographe Bay in Western Australia’s Margaret River, Club Wyndham Dunsborough is perfectly positioned to give members and guests the opportunity to explore the region’s natural wonders and world-class vineyards and cellar doors. The resort offers a pool with an ocean view, gym, tennis court, volleyball net, function rooms and Toby’s Restaurant & Bar.
