Picture this scenario ...

4 p.m.: It's rush hour on Willis Street. Workers and school kids vie for elbow room, dodging buses and taxis. Your project team members grapple with the crowds and head for the airport.

6:30 p.m.: It's cocktail hour and your team is relaxing in front of the open fire, watching the river run by, sharing workplace war stories and marvelling at the change of pace ...

We are purpose-built to provide comfort and inspiration to exclusive-use groups of up to 20. Our extensive background working with corporate groups, coupled with our wilderness setting, create a unique environment for your team to create, coalesce, and relax.

Quality assurance: We are independently rated as "Excellent"

Corporate retreats and team building are our forté. As well as providing your own exclusive lodge for the duration of your stay and welcoming you with West Coast hospitality, we are experienced group facilitators and can help you achieve your team's goals.

We'll also 'think outside the box' with you and facilitate grand experiences that will have a massive impact on your team members; for example, how about a full-day helirafting trip, with pick-up and disembarkation right at our doorstep?

Contact us to discuss your ideas. We specialise in providing meaningful experiences with long term impact. Have your managers, project team, board of directors or volunteers Go Deep at the Rough and Tumble ... they will come away rejuvenated and re-enthused!

Helirafting at Rough and Tumble: An excellent team building experience

“Rough and Tumble has proved to be an incredibly inspiring, distraction-free and productive venue for a range of business workshops and meetings. The hosting and catering is of the highest standard, and the fresh air and scenic surrounds provide a fantastic means of recharging through the use of short breaks. Whilst the Lodge has undeniable qualities in terms of recreation and relaxation, its potential as a business facility should not be underestimated”

– Phil Rossiter, Environmental Manager (Stockton Mine) – Solid Energy, September 2007.
