Refurbishments

The Sebel Pinnacle Valley Resort

The Sebel Pinnacle Valley Resort

Are you planning to check out The Sebel Pinnacle Valley Resort this year?

One of your favourite resorts is being freshened up with a soft refurbishment, scheduled to finish later in the year. Apartments are being repainted and renewed with brand new armchairs, kettles and toasters, new curtain pelmets, bedside and standing lamps, along with the addition of coffee machines in every apartment – each detail carefully considered to enhance your stay.

Across the resort, meeting rooms and event spaces will also see upgrades with new tables and seating. The refurbishment extends to Peaks Restaurant, with updated furniture, including balcony settings, dining tables, chairs, and bar tables and stools, creating an even more inviting space to relax and dine.

Take a peek at how things are coming along:

Before You Go

Book Early and Enjoy More

To maximise your options, we recommend booking your stay as early as possible. You can now book up to 9 months in advance for stays of less than 7 nights, logically giving you a better chance of securing your preferred dates and accommodation, especially during peak travel periods.

We are also pleased to remind you that bookings for January next year are now open, so you can start planning your school holiday getaway with your family.

Planning ahead simply means more options, more flexibility, and a smoother journey!

Plan Your Perfect Season

Each of your resorts is set in a beautiful destination and every season brings its own unique charm. There are beautiful national parks to explore near Pinnacle Valley in the summer, and an amazing hinterland to enjoy during a Gold Coast winter.

It’s always a good idea to plan your visit during the season that best suits your travel style. We’d also recommend trying some of your favourite destinations during different seasons for a fuller experience.

Remember, different seasons can affect some resort facilities and nearby attractions, so make sure you plan ahead for a memorable getaway.
