Giving Back & Contributing to Local Communities

Hotel Mocking Bird Hill favours homegrown produce and uses only local, seasonal produce, seeking to provide secure, stable and meaningful employment for people of the local community. The hotel purchases naturally based, close-to-source products, avoiding those that are scarce or under threat, and those that are individually packaged, single use, or disposable.
