PEPPERS Mineral Spa will be inducted into the Victorian Tourism Awards Hall of Fame after winning the Health and Wellness Award for the third year in row.
Co-owner Wayne Cross said he was thrilled with the achievement.
"Of course these successes are a wonderful way to recognise our staff as they are the foundation for the win and we are lucky we have the most professional and dedicated team in the industry," he said.
Novotel Forest Resort Creswick won the award for Best Tourism Development.
The category recognises excellence in the planning of tourism infrastructure and/or services with a focus on entrepreneurial vision, harmonious integration with the environment, design and functionality and uniqueness of the service.
Owner Jim Walsh said creating the Forest Resort development had been "an exhilarating and exhausting journey".
"We are all absolutely thrilled that Novotel Forest Resort Creswick has been recognised at the 2008 Victorian Tourism Awards, particularly in this category, as it reinforces our primary goal which was to create a tourism development that would attract people, investment and tourism
dollars to the Creswick region," he said.
