Our team is built around a shared commitment to culture and experience bringing together people who understand that great places are shaped as much by atmosphere as they are by execution.

Our Culture

DESIGN-LED, SERVICE OBSESSED & GENEROUS AT HEART

Refinery Group is where Kokoda Inc.'s signature craftsmanship meets world-class hospitality. Every decision, from design to menu, is intentional, beautiful, and bold.
A hallmark of all Kokoda Inc. brands is the inherent need to be different, to challenge, to defy the ordinary and to walk the path less travelled.
