A Year Of Happy Vibes For Managers At Colonial Palms

Colonial Palms’ managers, Greg and Nettie Dunlop are approaching 12 months since taking charge of the resort and the place has been completely revitalised.

With the support and dedication of long-term local team on staff, Greg and Nettie have created a vibrant atmosphere where they are regularly praised by guests for the happy team and good vibes.

Greg and Nettie have worked in business management for 50 years and know the importance of having good teams.

Established in the 1980’s Colonial Palms Motor Inn has survived several cyclones, blistering hot summers, tropical wet seasons and it is still standing strong.

Under the management of Greg and Nettie, Colonial Palms Motor Inn is flourishing.

Boasting three qualified chefs with over 107 years of experience between them, Colonial Palms provide both guests and visiting diners with incredible meals.

Meanwhile, the ‘Clean Queens’ keep the rooms and apartments immaculate and spotless.

To grow the business Greg and Nettie are excited to bring weddings to Colonial Palms.

“We’re currently in the planning stages of turning this into a wedding venue,” said Greg.

“We figured we've got the tropical gardens, rock pools, the Palms restaurant, deck and accommodation.

“Planning your big day will be made stressless thanks to Shyrelle, our new and very experienced wedding planner that has recently joined our team.

“We will attend to your whole wedding day needs all at one venue.”

Colonial Palms will cater to small, intimate weddings and with the restaurant, accommodation and ceremony, your whole wedding could be hosted conveniently on-site.

Complete with a whole lot of character, stunning views over the water and two rock pools, Greg and Nettie say it’s going to be a “one stop wedding shop” where they offer the whole package.
