Refurbishment for iconic Queenstown Hotel No Images? Click here Happy first day of spring (for those down under), The months are passing by fairly quickly at Tourism Results, Jason has recently returned from a busy, but successful sales trip to visit all our Australian colleagues (and friends) and is now busy packing his bags again for the upcoming Kiwi Link South America trip. He'll be out of New Zealand 18 - 24 September, but will be answering emails when he can over that period. For any urgent matters please contact Ross Grundy ross@tourismresultsnz.co.nz or call 0275 938 075. More importantly there's been a lot happening with the Tourism Results team, we've put together a bit of a rundown of the highlights:
Bella Vista Apartments Christchurch - Opening Soon After an extensive refurbishment, Bella Vista Apartments Christchurch are very close to opening the doors again. Property owners Graeme and Janice Stanbury have been working tirelessly for the last three and a half months, alongside their construction team to ensure a high quality and modern transformation is completed. The exterior of the apartments have been updated, with recladding, plastering and repainting, plus all apartments also now feature double glazing and additional insulation. Installed in every apartment are new bathrooms, new bed covers and updated furnishings. The only thing now remaining is for the landscaping to be completed. For the motel part of the complex, it's been business as usual but the team are really excited to welcome guests back into the apartments over the coming weeks. Check back in next month's newsletter for some completed imagery.
Nugget Point Hotel - Refurbishment The refurbishment at THC Nugget Point Hotel is almost complete. THC Group took over management of the iconic Nugget Point Hotel in September 2016 and have been working hard on upgrading the property since this time. The exterior of the hotel has been completely redecorated and the public areas such as the restaurant and lounge bar have also been upgraded. Well known Christchurch Burmese restaurant, The Bodhi Tree has been introduced to the hotel complex (this has been popular with locals and hotel guests alike!). The interior of the hotel has been repainted, including all hotel rooms. The River View Rooms on level one have had the bathrooms refurbished and the Garden View Rooms have been updated with modern new furniture. The Spa at Nugget Point continues to add the wow factor to the Nugget Point experience and the extra facilities such as the gym and squash court remain complimentary for the hotel guests. THC Nugget Point - General Manager, Aaron Winder has shared he "is proud to be part of Nugget Point's history and is looking forward to helping write the next chapter".
