Huon Bush Retreats Awarded Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence 2017

27/6/2017

0 Comments

 
The Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence is given to tourism operators who have consistently achieved great traveller reviews on TripAdvisor over the past year. For the 3rd year running, this includes Huon Bush Retreats in Tasmania’s Huon Valley. Establishments earning the Certificate of Excellence are located all over the world and have continually delivered superior customer experience.

According to hotel marketing and reputation management business, Revinate, “...the Certificate of Excellence award is only given to the top 10 percent of accommodations, attractions, restaurants, and vacation rentals ... and honors hospitality businesses that consistently achieve outstanding reviews on TripAdvisor.”

Trip Advisor itself says, that this achievement “ ...celebrates businesses who have consistently achieved glowing traveller reviews on TripAdvisor over the past year. The Certificate of Excellence accounts for the quality, quantity and recency of reviews submitted by travellers on TripAdvisor over a 12-month period and honours hospitality businesses that deliver consistently great service.”

As well as being recognised as providing excellent service, Huon Bush Retreats is also acknowledged by TripAdvisor as being a Platinum Green Leader. Our environmental features and actions allow us to outperform all GreenGlobeLite criteria.

But remember that Huon Bush Retreats is a nature experience. As our 200 TripAdvisor reviews show, the 90% of guests who appreciate peace and nature give us great reviews. The 10% of people who’s main values include throwaway items, excessive energy consumption and highway access, give us poor reviews.
​
So next time you want to relax, explore and experience nature, think of Huon Bush Retreats.

This multi award winning, carbon positive eco-village, offers a choice of contemporary, self contained cabins, deluxe tipees and private campsites against an inspiring backdrop of Tasmanian native forest. Just 50 minutes drive south of Hobart, we offer a true retreat in a peaceful and secluded environment with a 5km bush walking track network, an abundance of wildlife on your doorstep and a sample of the fine food and wine of the Huon Trail region.

Our $10 second night sale is still on until 1 September.
Huon Valley Escapes member, Huon Bush Retreats, has received a TripAdvisor® Certificate of Excellence award. The accolade, which honors hospitality excellence, is given only to establishments that consistently achieve outstanding traveller reviews on TripAdvisor, and is extended to qualifying businesses worldwide.  Establishments awarded the Certificate of Excellence are located all over the world and represent the upper echelon of businesses listed on the website.

When selecting Certificate of Excellence winners, TripAdvisor uses a proprietary algorithm to determine the honorees that takes into account reviews ratings.  Businesses must maintain an overall TripAdvisor bubble rating of at least four out of five, volume and recency of reviews. Additional criteria include a business’ tenure and popularity ranking on the site.

“Winning the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence is a true source of pride for the entire team at Huon Bush Retreats and we’d like to thank all of our past guests who took the time to complete a review on TripAdvisor,” said Paul Dimmick, Owner/Operator. “There is no greater seal of approval than being recognized by one’s customers. With the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence based on customer reviews, the accolade is a remarkable vote of confidence to our business and our continued commitment to excellence.”

"I'd also like to thank everyone on the team. HBR Tripadvisor reviews consistently rate cleanliness as 5/5, showing the dedication of our cleaning team."


“TripAdvisor is pleased to honor exceptional hospitality businesses for consistent excellence,” said Marc Charron, President of TripAdvisor for Business. “The Certificate of Excellence award gives top performing establishments around the world the recognition they deserve, based on feedback from those who matter most – their customers. From Australia to Zimbabwe, we want to applaud exceptional hospitality businesses for offering TripAdvisor travellers a great customer experience.”

Huon Valley Escapes is proud to congratulate two of our members winning this years Tasmanian Tourism Awards. Our two winning members are poles apart in the experience they offer, one central city and the other remote wilderness:
  • The Old Woolstore, Business Tourism and Deluxe Accommodation
  • Par Avion wilderness Tours, Tour and Transport

The diversity of our winning members emphasises the diversity of a Huon Valley Escape. City or wilderness, budget or luxury, accommodatiuon and activities. We can help you plan your perfect Huon Valley Escape.




Hobart’s multi-award winning Old Woolstore Apartment Hotel has built a reputation among business travellers as one of Australia's most welcoming and relaxing inner-city hotels. Renowned for spacious rooms and friendly hospitality, the property is centrally located – within a stone’s throw of the city centre and just a block from Hobart’s waterfront.

Par Avion Wilderness Tours operates bushwalker transport plus one and three day trips to the World Heritage Southwest Wilderness. Taking in the spectacular scenery by both air and water, these trips combine two different views of Tasmania's famed wilderness.

Also picking up prizes are our associate members Hotel Bruny and Bruny Island Cruises. Other HVE members making it to the finals but not quite the top spots were Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and Tarkine Wilderness Lodge.
