The development is progressing on schedule, despite a drenching 50mm of rain last week. Fortunately all of the stone is being stored under cover and the plumbers worked hard to have the roof on the first 10 suites before the heavens opened, so the rain only really caused minor anguish. Special thanks to Dale, who routinely swept out water from the unfinished rooms after each shower....no small task, but absolutely imperative to protect the limestone walls from soaking up the moisture.
Next week the slab is to be poured for the reception/bar/conference room development. Plus the race will be on to finish the internal stonework of the block of 8 suites, so that the roof can be put on before another expected rain event around May 14th. The weather gods really are our masters at this time of year!
Our interior designer has been busy finalising colour schemes for the new rooms, and we're excited by the city smart interiors and high quality fittings that will greet our guests. As the rooves have gone on and now that the walls have been plastered, we've been blown away by the large size and scale of the rooms - the high ceilings really giving the rooms a sense of grandeur!
We have taken bookings for the new suites in August, but it looks very likely that the rooms will be ready well before this date.
We have received a number of enquiries for conferences and expect the reception and conference area to be completed by October/November.
So all is going to plan.......
