Q: What is the breakfast?

As part of our community breakfast project, we provide a FREE “At-Home-Style” breakfast to all of our guests. We are aware that many people stay with us while visiting the Prince Charles & Holy Spirit Hospitals as well as the many specialists located in our immediate vacinity, and as such they are away from their family and support network – so all our staff take turns to donate their time and food to provide this free breakfast service between 7-9am every day. It’s a great way to start your day!! Please join us for a selection of fresh fruit, OJ, cereal, toast and tea & coffee.
