Yes, multiple rooms are go. Separate spaces for hosting different workshops, holding a briefing, or accommodating VIP guests can be arranged, keep maximum occupancies in mind.
IMPORTANT DETAILS

- What environmental conditions need consideration? From weather, to nearby constructions, water pipes and power cables.
- Time frames – what allowances or schedules have been arranged for access to pack in and out?

Choose from your bog-standard contemporary portaloos, shower and toilet combos or… our portable luxury toilets, to add a high-end touch that your special guests will appreciate. We can also arrange attendants during your event so restrooms are spotless throughout your event.
