Estate News

Welcome to

4 weeks
that's 672 hours or just

40 320 minutes…

It's not actually that long . . . but in
that time we:
• reconfigured the bar to a multi-room
which can be hired for small functions –
and named it the Vine Room,
• gave the toilets a little bit of a facelift,
• got a talented artist to paint estate flora
on the entrance hall wall,
• removed three previous layers of tiles
and retiled,
• built a new bar and patio section,
• removed the ceiling tiles, then
waterproofed, insulated and reinforced
the roof,
• reworked the kitchen,
• relocated the pizza oven and prep area,
• planted 36 trees to start the screening
process for our neighbours,
• relandscaped with over 200 plants,
• replumbed,
• filled 14 rubbish skips,
• redid the electrical circuits,
• refashioned the stormwater drainage,
• paved for better flow,
• reconfigured the old restaurant
storeroom into an ice-cream and
milkshake area,
• and relocated the playground equipment
to ensure a cohesive kids zone.

We also bought furniture, trained staff,
painted walls, relocated windows and
doors . . . It’s been a lot and, frankly, it took
a ton of people going the extra mile . . .

For the 2022 Board and our estate team,
it was the first major project we could
tick off our ‘TO DO LIST’ and, while that is
thanks enough, I would be remiss in not
taking the time and opportunity to thank
