The ‘RACV Torquay Experience’ – Wedding Venue Profile

 

 

Perched within the backdrop of Torquay and Jan Juc beaches, RACV Torquay Resort boasts spectacular views and an end-to-end guest experience to delight. The Ivory Tribe team was recently treated to a day of luxe pampering and a short stay at the renowned resort and we couldn’t wait to share our experience with our readers.

Upon arrival, it’s evident that our RACV Torquay visit won’t disappoint. Helpful staff welcome us to the hotel lounge, where we enjoy our morning cuppa with a side of world-famous Great Ocean Road views. It’s an idyllic start to the day.

 

The impressive architecture of the RACV resort itself, coupled with its warmth and space had us completely dismiss any misconceptions we had about celebrating a wedding in a resort. It’s the ultimate in luxury, sure to impress any bride and groom and their guests.

We were then guided through the impressive hotel passageways to the RACV Torquay One Spa. Greeted by a team of professional therapists, we enter the luxurious spa and are immediately delighted by its calm surroundings. When your toughest decisions of the day include what kind of pre-pamper herbal tea you would like and the strength of your massage – you aren’t doing too badly at all.

 

 

Pre-massage and treatment (more on those soon), we gathered our gorgeous bath robes and hit the state-of-the-art Hammam Bathing facility, where true rejuvenation begins. Comprising a luxurious steam room and thermal stone room with heated surrounding walls, floor and stone seat, along with four overhead showers set to temperatures of 10 – 40 degrees Celsius to provide varying degrees of refreshment, a hydrotherapy pool to reduce stress and tension and a plunge pool for revitalisation – what’s not to love?

 

 

We enjoyed some 40 minutes in the wet area – detoxifying and unwinding, while discussing how this really would be the perfect pre-wedding pamper for her bride and best gals – before moving on to the One Spa relaxation lounge, that also overlooks ocean views and the resort’s picturesque 18-hole golf course – a golf lover’s haven and perfect for a wedding day round!

 

 

 

Our therapists warmly greeted and escorted us to our rooms where the true spoiling began. We were treated to the Ultimate Back Indulgence treatment, 60 minutes of heavenly bliss. Any everyday stresses faded into the background and we re-emerged feeling incredible. One Spa is an absolute treat and they have specifically tailored packages for a bride-to-be or even for a girls or hens getaway. A divine experience that was indeed world class.

 

 

We were eager to see the accommodation options at RACV, after-all, it’s the perfect location to host not only a bride and groom overnight, but all of their guests. We were not disappointed when the door swung open to their ocean spa suite, the ultimate living experience for any newly married couple. These beautifully-appointed suites left us gasping as we took in the expanse of the room and the incredible views. We couldn’t help but picture ourselves spending the morning with our bridesmaids getting ready and then waking to the ocean views following an amazing celebration the night before. The perfect wake up for any newlywed.

 

 

It would be remiss of us not to mention the food – while we were treated to a light lunch we loved exploring their menus and the options that are open to a bride and groom. RACV Torquay cater to all different requirements and budgets and their head chef can personally design an amazing menu using only the freshest of local produce that perfectly accompanies their fine wine list. While we may have only sampled a small component of the menu, we definitely can’t wait to come back and try more. We commented that not only can they cater for your wedding feast, but also a rehearsal dinner, breakfast after the night before, or for you to enjoy your wedding anniversaries in the years to come.

 

 

The next area of excitement was checking out the function spaces the resort has on offer. When you first walk into the largest function area you are immediately taken with the breathtaking views. With floor to ceiling windows designed to capture natural light, it has a beautiful, contemporary finish. What we love most about RACV is that it really is the ultimate blank canvas when it comes to celebrating a wedding day. Whether you are the type of bride and groom that want to let the view speak for itself and use the modern surrounds to style your day, or you wish to create the room into your own vision, RACV Torquay caters for it all. They include a variety of options for a ceremony setting, including the all important back-up plan. In wedding world there are limited beautiful locations that can cater for large weddings – but luckily RACV can do it all. From intimate weddings for a handful of people, sit down functions for 240 or cocktail for 400, there is no limit to what they can do and provide picture perfect backdrops wherever you are.

 

 

It is very much an ‘experience’ should you choose to be married here, we experienced that magic first hand. The attention to detail and level of care is second to none and the dedicated team deliberately don’t overbook themselves with weddings, preferring for their clients to have an exclusive experience. With a dedicated wedding coordinator to take you through the planning process from start to finish, it’s the little touches that truly set this venue apart.

We cannot fault the level of care and attention to detail the RACV Torquay experience delivers. Definitely put it on your list of venues to check out as it won’t disappoint.
