Background
Following the investment, Collab focused on positioning Tiwi Island Retreat as a premier destination for cultural immersion and coastal escape. A key part of this transformation included the refurbishment of 10 ocean rooms, one family ocean room, and two luxury glamping tents. The upgrades enhanced the retreat’s accommodation offering and overall facilities, enabling the property to elevate the guest experience and confidently refine its pricing structure. Through a considered blend of marketing strategy, partnerships, and curated guest experiences, the retreat evolved from a remote stay into a recognised luxury adventure. Collab introduced tailored itineraries integrating fishing, wildlife, and cultural storytelling, attracting visitors from across Australia and beyond.
Strategic collaborations with Indigenous artists, chefs, and tour operators added authentic value to each stay, while strong relationships with key tourism industry bodies helped amplify the retreat’s presence within the broader travel network. Media coverage and word-of-mouth reinforced its reputation as a hidden gem, while the retreat’s growing profile improved general awareness of the Tiwi Islands and their rich Indigenous cultures. Tiwi Island Retreat increasingly appeared in travel publications, luxury booking platforms, and Northern Territory tourism campaigns. Collab’s focus on growth wasn’t just about increasing visitation, it was about deepening the quality of every guest experience and expanding the retreat’s impact in a meaningful, sustainable way.
