After 4 1/2 years as Operations Manager Iain (Hopper) McTavish will be departing from The Witchs Hat and the Berbatis group of Hostels....
I would like to thank everyone who has come through my doors in this time. It has been an incredible time and I hope that I have provided you all with a safe, welcoming stay whilst here in Perth. The memories have been great, my assistant staff and supervisors have done an amazing job and I will miss "The Hat" terribly. Thanks to everyone who visited for making it such a special time in my life. Travel safely people!!
