how do our bookings support others?
- Our prices are aimed to be fair market rates within Whanganui-a-Tara, and we aim to provide a very special space, yet, because of our focus on impact over profit, and the flexible mixed use of our space, we’re able to use these rates to provide accessible space to others.
