Multi-million makeover for Fleurieu resort
Wirrina Resort – just 70 minutes from Adelaide – is undergoing a multi-million dollar makeover as international hotel group VR Hotels establishes the resort’s reputation as a major destination for holidays and conferences.
Respected New Zealand based VR Hotels which operates 18 properties in the United States and across the Tasman has chosen Wirrina as its launch pad into the Australian market.
More than $1.5 million has already been spent renovating more than 50 of the resort’s 87 rooms, with further spending planned along with a Kids’ Club and beauty spa.
“On the stunning Fleurieu Peninsula and close to the wine-making region of McLaren Vale, Wirrina is the perfect destination for anyone planning an escape to South Australia,” VR Hotels managing director Rakesh Sharma says.
“With a PGA standard 18-hole golf course and marina on its doorstep, Wirrina is surrounded by rolling hills and bordered by a beautiful coastline.
“It’s an ideal destination for family holidays with mini golf, a pool, spa and sauna complex, tennis courts and a gym.”
Mr Sharma said Wirrina also had one of the finest conference facilities in regional South Australia, seating up to 500 delegates theatre-style with a flexible layout that can be divided into three sub-sections for smaller, intimate functions, along with a great outdoor area overlooking the golf course and ocean.
