The 100 Club program is a benefit provided to the highest tier owners of Club Wyndham South Pacific, a leading vacation ownership club in the South Pacific region.

These benefits give 100 Club members tens of thousands of additional options for travel and help them see the potential in their vacation ownership.
This tier of owners has grown by 16.25% in 2024. A key reason for this increase is the exclusivity of the 100 Club events, one of the major benefits added at this level.
These top-tier owners express their interest in attending the year’s VIP events at the start of the year and attendees are chosen at random, with consideration firstly provided to those who have not attended an event in the past 12 months. In 2024, these exclusive events were:
• June 2024 – a night on a yacht in Sydney Harbour, taking in the sights of the VIVID Festival. Sydney Harbour is one of the world’s most famous harbours and VIP owners were able to see some of Australia’s premier tourist attractions – the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House – lit up at night.
• August 2024 – An evening with celebrity chef Peter Kuruvita at a resort in Dunsborough, Western Australia. Chef Kuruvita has hosted several television series in Australia and is also well-known as an author, and performed a cooking demonstration for these VIP owners, who attempted to replicate his dishes with guidance from the chef.
• October 2024 – a small group of owners were treated to a wine-tasting experience at an Otago Vineyard and served food cooked onsite using converted wine barrels, where the oak and steam combine to create rustic feasts.
These events are estimated to have generated more than US$500,000 in upgrade purchases from VIP owners, who purchased directly from the nearest resort in the days after the event.
VIP events typically receive glowing praise from owners, both directly to staff and to their exclusive VIP Facebook Group. Some examples of this are below:
“Thank you Rebecca and Sydney staff whom helped put together a lovely night on Sydney Harbour seeing Vivid 2023. We had a wonderful night.”
“We had a wonderful night at Vivid last night. Thank you Rebecca and team.”
“A shout out to all the staff both local and travelling, that made the 100 Club event in Dunsborough so awesome. We all got to meet with many other owners and share experiences. Peter Kuruvita is amazing.”
“Fantastic 100 Club event at Dunsborough. A big thank you to everyone who created and worked hard to make this event the success that it was. It was wonderful to connect and reconnect with owners. A special thank you to Peter Kuruvita for the cooking lessons and laughter.”
“Thank you to the 100 Club team and the staff at Wanaka for a fantastic club event last week. We were hosted by the Wild Earth Vineyard in The Stoaker Room. The evening and wine tasting was incredible and the barrel smoked platters and meal were delicious.”
Through these events and their regular stays, these top tier owners meet each other and many of them have developed friendships to last a lifetime. Many of them see travel as a lifestyle and are excited about the prospect of meeting like-minded people – and membership in this VIP club introduces them to kindred spirits.
