Foothills Conference Centre

Foothills Conference Centre is on a bushy, 20 acre site on the eastern fringes of Melbourne, with easy access to the Dandenong Ranges and the Yarra Valley. It is a peaceful, rustic retreat yet less than one hour from the CBD.

There are 54 ensuite rooms with eight more in two self contained cabins. Facilities include a main Conference room capable of seating up to 160 for dining, or 250 theatre style. There are also many other conference rooms of different sizes. There two lecture theatres, one with tiered seats and a capacity of 160 and another one sits up to 92. Plus a computer room with 52 networked computers. There is also a rotunda and stone-tiered amphitheatre for outdoor sessions under the gum trees.

Activities include team-building games on the outdoor oval, laser strike battle simulation, bonfires and BBQ’s, as well as tennis and basketball courts, volleyball, and a large outdoor swimming pool. We can also organise winery tours, hot air ballooning, trips to iconic destinations such as the nearby William Ricketts Sanctuary and Puffing Billy, dining at the Bavarian themed Cuckoo Restaurant, local cabarets and entertainment.
