OTIUM SUCCESS
The success of Otium in nine years since its inception is both thrilling and humbling.
Otium was established in Melbourne Australia in 2015. The community was created to bring diverse successful people together to create memories and experiences that would last a lifetime. Our focus was on hosting unique events that bring together people who enjoy the prestigious side of life and like to socialize, network, and learn from each other.
Otium discovered an untapped enthusiasm for a supercar lifestyle in Melbourne. Over 340+ people have joined together in that time, with a love for cars and unique experiences, made even more amazing by the truly unique array of exotic vehicles that attend every Otium event. Exceeding 300+ members in our lifespan to date is an exceptional milestone we are very proud of.
Today Otium has over $85+ Million of cars in the club, having the most diverse range of cars you can see, from stunning collectible classic exotics to the newest and rarest supercars. The brands range from McLaren, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Mercedes Benz, BMW, Audi, Alfa Romeo, Jaguar, Maserati, Aston Martin, and so on.
Otium’s success is measured wholly by the real people that we have in our community.
Otium has become a family, a community where members are proud of their membership. It’s a community of friends, devoid of ego or animosity, with an open-armed welcome to every new member. However you look at it, Otium is unique and a real success story, and it’s only getting better and better, the only way to get a feeling of our words here is to experience it first-hand yourself.
Our incredible events have continued to provide a focal point for our members to come together and enjoy a day out with friends whilst enjoying their passions and interests.
The amazing Otium events we create are a special reminder of what we have achieved. Whether it’s hosting charity events and seeing the generosity of our members, organizing official drive days to the classiest venues in Victoria that often see 50 or more cars in attendance, hosting some of Melbourne's best Cars and Coffee events or special events like track days, car launches and exclusive events, Otium’s frequent events represent a standard rarely matched on even an occasional basis by any other community.
Otium is more than just the appreciation of fine exotics & supercars. We are a lifestyle community dedicated to people who appreciate enjoying the things they have worked hard to achieve with like-minded people.
We strive to be seen, not just as a car community, but as a brand that represents a lifestyle to be aspired to and a place that people can come and always feel a part of.

My wife and I have been part of the Otium since Feb 2018 and in that time have shared some of the best times. We have met amazing, inspiring people, made great friends, been introduced to great business contacts, gone on amazing drives, wined and dined at some of the best restaurants and wineries and just had a lot of fun along the way. The team have ensured the club is friendly, respectful, helpful and ensure everyone is made to feel welcome including my children which I have been able to bring along. Otium really is a community unlike any other.

Rob - Member since 2022
I was referred to Otium back in 2022 after being asked by a friend to attend and display my car at their Cocktail Party, after attending the event and meeting a range of members I witnessed what kind of community it was I made the decision to join.
My wife and I were made very welcome and we found the members of the club to be a great bunch of car enthusiasts who were always up for a good time. Since joining we have been on countless runs to wineries and restaurants and have made many fantastic memories with great friends.

Julian - Member since 2015
Otium is a great club, it brings all walks from all over Melbourne and Victoria together to enjoy and participate in drive days and a huge array of events. I love it, it adds a huge amount of enjoyment to my life and has become a great anticipation of whats next for me every month, my favorite aspect all along was having my teenage son at the time come to every event with me, now after 9 years of attending he is an adult and now attends in his own car which is really special to me, its a credit to all involved that every event brings a great time.

Grant - Member since 2017
After joining Otium back in 2017 I was overwhelmed with the amount of amazing cars. From the first drive I was welcomed in to an amazing group of car lovers who to my surprise were so down to earth and friendly. Everyone in the group are inspiring, genuine and a lot of fun. Not only have I experienced a range of things I wouldn't have done on my own but with people who have become great friends along the way. I would recommend joining as soon as you can and you will never look back. I’m a member for life!

For myself, my wife and our son Otium is not just a car club for a place to see some Supercars but an inclusive community of like minded people who we can all rely on each other and call family. We have been coming for years now and every event gets better especially when you get to meet new faces.
Every event that we have attended has been organised with the finest detail and its always a great day out for my whole family, we love all that Otium hosts and the events and experiences we have been able to share are invaluable.

Rob - Member since 2020
As a member of Otium Club for 4+ years, I can honestly say the people you meet and the experiences you gain have simply been amazing and life changing. I was always dubious about joining a “Supercar Club” and the types of characters you would meet, but I have been pleasantly surprised and have made some amazing friends, and even have had quite a few become clients of my business which was an added surpirse. I highly recommend anyone considering joining Otium to just do it, you wont regret it!

Grace - Member since 2019
I've been a member of Otium since around 2019 and I've had such a fantastic time ever since. The club's operations are sleek and professional, and the members are a diverse group of fun- loving people I consider my car club family. After participating in numerous car events, spirited drive days, lunches at exquisite locations, car shows, and even non-car related special events, I've been inspired, motivated, and encouraged by the good folk of our club, which led me to upgrade and purchase my Testarossa. I've continued to be inspired and encouraged by all in this inclusive community.

Travis - Member since 2015
I was lucky enough to come across Jesse and Otium almost 10 years ago. The first drive day was extremely memorable, from the great people I met as much as the beautiful roads we travelled. I’ve been fortunate to see that people join Otium because they love supercars, but they stay because its an outstanding community. The shared passion for cars and driving experiences is unmatched. Otium has evolved and grown so much over the years due to outstanding leadership from Jesse, the club has become an amazing resource of business connections, travel inspirations and referrals.
