June 2021 - Ongava hospitality reactivation
First and most importantly, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to our friends and colleagues for your brilliant support and encouragement through these unprecedented circumstances. We are touched and motivated by your enthusiasm and positive reinforcement for that which Ongava does and believes.
Secondly, following fourteen months of closure we are thrilled to share that we are back in business; emerging from suspension of services Ongava will be taking our first tentative steps into reactivating hospitality on Tuesday June 1st, 2021.
Whilst the pandemic remains official Ongava hospitality services will operate in Safe Mode.
