Here at The Observatory Self Contained Apartments, we’re big on supporting the local community, so we thought it would be great to share the ways that we do, and, how YOU can support local next time you holiday with us!
The ways we support the local community:
- By stocking local beverages in our drink’s fridge such as Two Tails Wines, Critters Distillery, King Tide Brewery.
- Collaborating with other local businesses such as the Jetty Memorial Theatre, National Cartoon Gallery and Coffs Harbour Conservatorium.
- Involvement in Can Do Cancer Trust fundraisers, such as the Return & Earn Program, where we have raised $2000 for Can Do.
- Sponsorship for local fundraising events throughout the year. We’re pleased to say we’ve provided more than $5000 in Observatory gift vouchers this year alone!
