Blue Moon Cottages Wins Victorian Tourism Awards

We are very proud to announce that on Monday 14th November Blue Moon Cottages was outright winner of the Standard Accommodation Category in the Victorian Tourism Awards.

After hundreds of hours of work by the whole team at Blue Moon Cottages we were very proud of our submission and hoped to be recognised as a first entrant to this prestigious event but we were completely blown away when our name was called as outright winners.

It takes a lot of work by many, many people to ensure that the cottages that our guests stay in are as near perfect as we can possibly make them.

Our submission was focused on the history of the cottages and the fact that they have been around probably since the 1940's and until we took them over six years ago were being slowly run into the ground.  It has taken a lot of time and effort (not to mention money) to bring them slowly back up to beachside cottages that suit guests in 2011.  Not only have we installed air conditionig, new water heaters, additional heaters, completely overhauled the interior design, installed new kitchens, new roofs and in the case of the Shell Croft Cottage almost the entire structure, ensured the properties were put onto mains, installed a new driveway and landscaped gardens but we have taken the time to find the best staff and train them well.  They are proud of what we offer and put in 100% to get our cottages ready for our guests.

With strong core values:

1. Be consistent
2. Be creative
3. Be Honest and Open
4. Provide an harmonious environment
5. Act with integrity
6. Value and reward Loyalty
7. Embrace family - encourage a feeling of belonging
8. Seek and share Knowledge

we follow a strict customer service and environmental policy.

So, can we win the Nationals?  Anything is possible - can Blue Moon Cottages be the best Standard Accommodation in Australia.  We'll have to wait until March 2012 to have the answer to that question...Wish us luck.
