Winner 2008 WA Tourism Awards for Deluxe Accommodation – Seashells Resort Mandurah

Media release 30 November 2008

Seashells Mandurah receives more accolades

The luxury Seashells Resort Mandurah has received further recognition by winning a 2008 Western Australian Tourism Award for Deluxe Accommodation, announced in Perth last night.

In a field of nine worthy finalists, the Seashells Resort Mandurah won the category, which was judged on the quality of both the facility and its service standards.

Seashells Hospitality Group Managing Director Paul King said the award confirmed the quality of the Group’s offering of 4½ star AAA rated, apartmentstyle tourism accommodation.

“Gaining industry recognition for the Seashells Resort Mandurah is so rewarding for our team, our clients, and suppliers.

“The Resort won the award for Best New Tourism Development in the 2006 Western Australian Tourism Awards and a High Commendation in the National Awards, so to continue to win awards two years after opening confirms that our service and facility standards remain at the top of the field.”

Seashells Resort Mandurah represents one of the most major hospitality developments in WA in recent years.

The first stage of these luxury affordable self-contained beachside apartments opened in December 2005 with 32 one-bedroom and 24 two-bedroom apartments and 14 luxury 3-bedroom 2-bathroom beach villas.

The accommodation is complemented by a heated infinity edge swimming pool stretching along the beachfront; a spa and poolside terrace with BBQ and grill; tennis court; meeting and conference facilities; tour desk and free undercover secure parking.

The resort was designed to maximise its location – its north-facing frontage takes advantage of its beachfront location, and interiors reflect the crisp white and calming blues and teals of the landscape.

The Seashells Hospitality Group has had numerous award wins for its four West Australian properties. The Seashells Serviced Apartments Scarborough Beach and Seashells Resort Broome have been winners at both a State and Australian level and Seashells’ Caves House Hotel won a prestigious Heritage Council Award earlier this year.
