New hotel development around the Farmhouse in Zandspruit
Lines on the ground, gut from peg to peg, a positioned container, the sound of digging, and a small sign erected indicated action on the new 12 bed Khiwane Boutique Hotel. Before we knew it, it was fenced off and the machinery was in. They have subsequently progressed to digging it trenches; it’s on the move. Now that’s an exciting development – due to open 2024! We wait in anticipation.
What’s happening to the Radisson Hotel?
Well, are you all in for a surprise!!! There has been a small ‘soft opening’, but the real opening will happen in April when all will be revealed – suffice to say that together with the hospital, this addition to the Hoedspruit offering will be amazing. Superb workmanship, state of the art technology, coupled with an amazing location, this facility will ‘rock the Hoed’ – and I believe for the better. Once they have ironed out all the niggles it will be set to go. We’ll keep you updated.
Beautifying Hoedies
Following up on last month’s Titbit about the gardens and murals at the La Bamba/PnP intersection – the second part of the project is now well under way. In fact, it may well be complete by the time you read this. Popping in to see what was happening, it was unbelievable to witness the murals taking shape on the wall. Hard at work in the scorching sun, these artists are giving of their time to make our town more beautiful – and for that we thank them. Here are a couple of pictures of the work in progress.
The Mall
I have yet to receive a response from the developer – it was in the January 2023 edition that I responded to a letter about the mall, and in fact spoke to the developer. He promised me a summary of the development, at a later stage I was also promised a press release that had apparently been released. I never saw it nor did I receive either. I see that there is now a ‘road’ going through the site from near the Yum truck that comes out near the fire station – I have gathered that was put in place to alleviate traffic congestion at the La Bamba/PnP intersection. Apart from that I have no further update. Is it or is it not going to be built? Maybe this will initiate a response!
