One bedroom house for rent - sleeps 15
POSTED 21 Jul 2008 . BY Tim Nash
From 26 July, once the last housemates have been evicted, the Australian Big Brother house will be available for corporate rentals and parties.

The house is located at Dreamworld theme park on Queensland's Gold Coast.

"Having an event at the Big Brother House is like holding a function at Australia's most well known address," said Deborah Holland, Dreamworld's National Sales Manager - Groups & Events.

"The only other house in this country that gets as near as much attention is Parliament House; and the chance of holding a private function there is slim!

"To have this so accessible to Brisbane and the Gold Coast sells itself."

Over the past seven years, the house has been used as a backdrop for household product launches, sales and marketing planning sessions, breakout sessions and social club gatherings.

Its 210sq m floor area has the capacity for 150 guests in addition to the landscaped gardens and a huge outdoor games arena.

"We don't hide anything. Corporate groups and clubs have free range of the facilities and they are welcome to take over. Just don't upset Big Brother, as he will be watching," added Holland.

Events operations coordinator Adele Cumerford said that everyone loves the voice of Big Brother; an entertainer trained to interact with delegates and single out extroverts for unusual challenges.

"We work with corporations to merge the personality of the two brands and add weight to the function being held in the Big Brother House. A sports company once booked Ninjas in balaclavas to spice up their social function while a supermarket chain primed Big Brother to use paging terminology," Adele said.

"It was great to hear Big Brother step out of character and demand a price check on the Peking duck pancakes served to the group. At one stage there was a spill in the kitchen and he directed a company's maintenance team to go to section 2 to clean it," she said.

Exclusive use of the Big Brother House for up to 150 guests, reception style, including Big Brother character voice and security guard to 'evict' the guests is AUD$2,200 A three-hour standard drink package starts from AUD$30 per person, and canapés start from AUD$16 per person.
