Exciting Updates: Winter Maintenance and Lodge Renovations
Discover the exciting updates coming to On The Point! From restoring the iconic homestead roof to renovating our Apartments, we're committed to enhancing your experience.
Dear Valued Guests,
We are delighted to share some exciting news with you
regarding upcoming improvements at On The Point – Lake Rotorua. In our
commitment to providing you with the best possible experience, we will be
temporarily closing our doors to undergo some significant maintenance work and
refresh of our some of accommodation and public spaces. The closure commences at 1 May 2024.
One of the most notable projects we're embarking on is the
reframing of the roof on our main heritage homestead. Built in the 1930s, this
iconic building boasts traditional terracotta tiles, reminiscent of its
original design before it was tragically lost to fire in 1903. The renovation
involves carefully lifting off the tiles, reinforcing the roof structure, and
creating a new pitch to ensure efficient water runoff. While it may seem like a
small adjustment, this undertaking is a major reconstruction effort aimed at
preserving the integrity of our beloved homestead.
Additionally, we'll be focusing on similar improvements for
our Apartments, including the Lake Villa and the Villa Apartment. This
comprehensive renovation will not only involve roof refurbishments but also the
replacement of cladding, ensuring these accommodations meet the highest
standards of comfort and durability.
During the closure, we will also be refreshing some interior
elements, such as replacing soft furnishings, laying new carpet in the main
lounge area, and completing the installation of rain head showers in our lodge
suites. These enhancements will further elevate your experience when we reopen
our doors.
While we anticipate the main homestead work to be completed
within three months, we've allowed for a four-week extension to account for any
unforeseen weather delays. Our target reopening date is set for September 1st,
with the possibility of opening reservations as early as August if all goes
according to plan.
Rest assured, a dedicated team will remain on-site to
oversee external maintenance tasks and handle any inquiries via phone or email
during the closure. We understand that this temporary inconvenience may not be
ideal, but we believe that winter provides the perfect opportunity to address
these crucial maintenance matters.
Your support and understanding during this time are greatly
appreciated. Should you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate
to reach out to me directly.
Warm regards,
Ann Gregor
