Reviews

My Incentive group had a fantastic time at Highlands with the specially curated range of activities that appealed to our varied group of men and women who ranged in age from 20 to 55 years. Having our Highlands Function Manager with us throughout was perfect. She kept me informed and made sure everyone moved seamlessly and quickly from activity to activity which helped keep everyone enthused. All the activities were great, but the two absolute favourites were the Subaru WRX experience and the Supercar Fastdash. With the Subaru experience, guests loved being behind the wheel of the new Subaru WRX cars and doing this activity as a group added to the fun. With the Fastdash, I believe they rated this so highly as it gave them what will probably be a once in a lifetime experience of being on track in a high performance car, travelling at speed with a Professional Driver. Amazing. The group certainly left Highlands on a ‘High’! Thank you again for a great day.

I just wanted to pass on sincere thanks from all of us here at Tailorspace. It was a truly fantastic day and we all considered it to be the trip of a lifetime! We could not fault it and the organisation for the day was impeccable. Everyone was very impressed with the day and had such a great time! Thanks again! Hope to see you again one day.

From the moment you arrive until the time you leave the fantastic Highlands team ensure you have an unforgettable experience even if Motorsport isn’t your thing, a fantastic restaurant and the Loo with a view which will leave you with a lasting memory. Having dealt with the Highlands team over the past three years organising an annual promotional event for our contractors we wanted to give our customers an unique experience that they can’t experience anywhere else, this the team always delivers and has never disappointed, each year the team come up with a new element that continues to make this event a sort after ticket, from world class drivers to the Taycan Launch, there is always something new for our customers to experience. The team at Highlands are always professional and easy to deal with, leaving guests with lasting memories

The Subaru WRX Experience is a hit with group! Getting out on the track environment and behind the wheel of a WRX is an awesome experience for everyone. Add in some expert driving tuition and healthy competition, along with all the other experiences and facilities that Highlands has to offer, and you’re into a terrific day out together.

Debbie Lee | Forest Management

A huge thank you to you and the Highlands team for looking after us so well during our conference, your conference facilities at Pit lane were excellent and the team building activities along with some healthy competition on Tuesday afternoon were perfect for our group – our team only had positive things to say about our visit with you and our conference organising committee will all be recommending your services onto others

I must say this entire program was challenge after challenge and you all did such an amazing job to deliver what our client has called their best launch yet! Thank you for being so flexible during the booking process as well as onsite, it made such a difference for us. I would not hesitate to recommend you and the team at Highlands and I look forward to working together again!
