The Mission

​

Since deciding to start CIRCA, the ambition has always been to contribute back to the industry that has supported it's founder Kevin Yaxley for his whole career - tourism and hospitality - and to pay tribute to the people who taught him and nurtured that career, such as Freddie Parker, Bob Kuna, Ian Grieve, Alain Lopez and George Constantinou - all amazing people. 

​

Hence the CIRCA version of a boutique hotel: a version that he believes is more sustainable in the Australia of the 21st century where the challenges and circumstances have changed, and will of course, continue to change: regulations and bureaucracy, wage pressures, cost of living increases, the career aspirations of the younger generation and the changing expectation of guests.

​

The phrase 19th century service, 20th century style and 21st century facilities certainly defines how CIRCA intends going about presenting its version of hospitality.

​

Just like the past, it will be one very interesting journey.
