A LOCAL houseboat company received top honours on Thursday at the Victorian Tourism Awards in the unique accommodation category.
All Seasons Houseboats operations manager Lucy Bromley said it was a proud moment to win and represent the region.
“We’ve had a few years off entering, so this year we thought we would re-enter with our product to Elevate Luxury which is our new house that we launched,” she said.
“There were a fair bit of nerves, but we knew that our submission was really superior, beautifully designed, and finished, so we just hoped that that would speak for itself.
“Everyone really got around us, especially businesses in Melbourne because we were one of the only two out of the Murray district.
“So everyone seemed to be like, look at these guys, they’re doing well.”
Ms Bromley said the team was confident in the offering, but considering the competition, she didn’t go in with any expectations.
“You also never know who you’re going to go up against because it’s anyone in Victoria, so it could be glamping tents in a cactus farm or sleeping with tigers in a zoo,” she said.
“Unique accommodation is such a broad category, so it usually opens it up for any unique business to enter.”
With the win now in the bag, Ms Bromley said she looked forward to celebrating the win with the team.
“We all had lots of drinks and partied into the evening and tomorrow night, we’re actually taking our entire staffing team out for dinner,” she said.
“We’re going to celebrate the win and make sure everyone feels as though their contribution made a significant impact to the award because it’s a team effort.
“Overall, we were so incredibly blessed with the team that we’ve working with and even local suppliers and we will definitely make it known to them and thank them as well.”
