Koko Poolside Bar & Kitchen at Peppers Beach Club is launching their community advent campaign and invites all Douglas Shire businesses to get involved.

The appeal is to create increased exposure to Shire businesses during this time while giving locals the opportunity to visit some of the wonderful offering that the region is renowned for.

Jess Whitworth General Manager at Peppers Beach Club said this has been a tough year for us all, as a community we need to support each other.

“We want to get businesses together to spread the merriment on the lead up to the holiday season, this engagement is something the community can get excited about and look forward to each week.

“It will give locals a great opportunity to discover a hidden gem that they may have not been to before,” she said.

Koko’s nine weeks of Christmas Advent countdown begins on Tuesday coinciding with the restaurant’s opening of seven days a week offering all-day dining.
