Luke Young • March 30, 2023

Are you passionate about preserving Coffs Harbour's coastlines and ecosystems? You NEED to hear about Take 3 for the Sea! An incredible initiative, so read on!


From Trash to Treasure

Starting from Friday 7th April to Sunday 23rd April, we're launching a special promotion for new & returning guests of The Observatory Apartments! Here’s the scoop.


During your stay in a self-contained apartment during the school holidays — we’ll swap you a refreshing pure pops ice-block in exchange for three items of rubbish you collect as you explore & adventure our beautiful coastal backyard. These will add up to help keep Coffs Harbour shining.


Three pieces of rubbish, and an ice-cold reward! Sweet!


Making Waves to Green the Coast

At The Observatory, we're committed to reducing our footprint and protecting our natural assets. It’s only fair. And, as traveller & soon-to-be lover of our coastline, why don’t you join in?


Alongside #Take3ForTheSea, we've implemented a range of other worthwhile and environmentally friendly practices. follow this link to find out more.


Sea-rious Problem, Simple Solution

Take 3 for the Sea is a non-profit organisation. And with estimated millions of travellers visiting our NSW beaches year after year for vacations and short holidays—just three pieces of rubbish from beaches, creeks & waterways is all we need to stay ahead.


Enjoying NSW coastal nature forevermore is the MO. So make sure you join in.


Oh, About School Holidays…

Staying with us during the school holidays? Perfect timing! Be sure to book your stay early and we’ll get those ice blocks ready for the whole family.


How many bits of rubbish can we collect together from Friday 7th April to Sunday 23rd April? Let’s  find out!
