Chris' progress

Last year Chris concentrated on the building of the Staff Village. This was used as a training ground for the unskilled staff that were hired to do the building of this lodge. The Staff Village is now almost complete and consists of:

The Manager's House
2 x Sub-Manager's Houses (each with 2 rooms en-suite and 2 lounges)
2 x Senior Staff Houses (each with 4 rooms and 2 shared bathrooms)
3 x Staff Houses (each with 3 rooms and a shared lounge area)
Staff bathrooms and toilets
Staff Diningroom and Lounge
Staff Kitchen and Laundry

The Staff Village will house a total of 32 people, thus there will be more than 1 staff member per guest, even when the lodge is fully booked. This does not include the staff who will be coming accross daily from Kipili who will not need to sleep on the Island at night. All in all, the building of the Staff Village has been a very large, but important task, and it is very rewarding to find that it is almost complete.

Towards the end of last year Chris was then able to start focussing on the common areas for the guests. This will include:

the Diningroom
Lounge, Bar and Viewing Deck
Games room
Wine Cellar
Office and Shop
Kitchen
Swimming pool
Pool Bar
Swimming pool toilets

And this year he has started on the Guest rooms. There will be 14 rooms in total, 2 of which will be Presidential Suites. Below are some photographs of the various stages of progress that the rooms are currently at.
