When I first started writing about travel I journeyed from Sydney up to the Hunter Valley to interview a livewire young couple called Mike and Suzi O'Connor.
They were about to open a ground-breaking vineyard venture called Peppers Guest House.
That was in 1983. Today, Peppers is a luxe brand, part of the global Accor group, with properties in Australia, New Zealand and Bali. Mike and Suzi have long sold the business, but they must be proud of what their vision became.
Yaralla Sports Club and Accor today announced the opening of Peppers Gladstone, the region's first five-star hotel.
The 32-room Peppers Gladstone adjoins the existing 60-room Mantra Gladstone at the Yaralla Sports Club and is operated as a dual-branded hotel concept.
This is the first new-build hotel to open in the region in over a decade, setting a new benchmark for high-end accommodation in Gladstone and the broader Central Queensland region.
“The debut of Peppers Gladstone is a proud moment for Accor as it brings a new level of hospitality to Central Queensland," says Accor Pacific Chief Operating Officer Adrian Williams.
"This hotel is a unique addition to our premium brand portfolio and exemplifies our commitment to creating extraordinary guest experiences, blending Peppers' signature style with the charm of Gladstone.”
Yaralla Sports Club CEO Will Schroeder, said: "The opening of Peppers Gladstone is an exciting moment for our region.
"Together with Accor, we're delivering a world-class accommodation option that's set to become the ultimate destination for visitors, whether they're here for business, a special event, or to explore our beautiful coastline."
Designed by BSPN Architects and constructed by Mettle Projects, Peppers Gladstone offers a range of accommodation options, from king studio rooms to superior two-bedroom apartments.
All guest rooms feature fully equipped kitchens, king-sized beds, large televisions with Chromecast capabilities, and a complimentary non-alcoholic minibar.
Amenities include a heated outdoor swimming pool, complimentary drinks at the pool deck bar (during select hours), access to Peppers' eight-seater cinema room, a gym, secure undercover parking, wifi, and a choice of two on-site restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Peppers Gladstone joins a network of more than 20 Peppers retreats, resorts, and hotels across Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia, expanding the brand's legacy as it celebrates its 40th anniversary.
