2024 NEW CLASSROOM UPDATE

Geoff and Julie, along with our concierge Gretel, celebrate our 25th year in business this January, 2024.

It has presented us with many challenges over the years, with Covid-19 in 2020, flooding in our classroom in November 2022 and extensive termite damage.

After 2 years, we are finally able to present our beautifully appointed new classroom! With repairs to guttering and rebuilding of walls, we have upgraded our power, added improved lighting, more power points, repainted and installed beautiful new modern blinds. The carpet has been replaced and the new benches add a touch of elegance and space.

We have a lovely outdoor deck to sip a coffee from our Jura coffee machine, or take a phone call.

We recently installed a big screen TV and the air-conditioned classroom adds to the comfort of our ‘Sanctuary’ for you all to enjoy!
