    • The target audience for the prize aligns with the correct demographic.
    • The package will have a high perceived value associated with it*
    • We reserve the right to request a reserve set at 50% of face value.
    • The name or logo of Brook Serene (or the specific hotels) must appear on event banners, posters, approved printed material, displays, websites, direct marketing material, and social media platforms.
    • Preference will be given to organisations or causes that our team is passionate about, and community groups that support our locally-owned business.

By far our favorite for the trip. Staff was outstanding and breakfast wonderful. The concierge (Bryan) graciously offered suggestions of what to do while in town. ( Our plans were set but he had no way of knowing that). Turndown service was a pleasant surprise along with the surprise gift of “George” the little teddy bear on each bed with a sweet message. Even the unexpected fire alarm that went off in the middle of the night was handled professionally with a gift of a free night on the next visit.
