Luxury Restaurant And Motels At Hutt
"I'ne Press' Special Service
WELLINGTON, Mar. 7. “Miranda Lodge.” a £90,000 restaurant-motels project, has been planned for a one-acre' block of land between High street and Bristol square. Lower Hutt. There is only one similar establishment in New Zea-land-Shirley Lodge, near Christchurch—and plans for the scheme have been submitted to the Lower Hutt City Council by the sponsors, the Valley Group Organisation. The organisation’s proposals include luxury dining facilities for 120 to 140 people, an upper floor coffee house to cater for 100, three bocks of single-storey, six-unit motel rooms, and a two-storey, eight-unit block of slightly larger rooms. The main block, fronting on to High street, will comprise the restaurant, coffee house, offices and manager’s flat, and between it and the two-storey block facing Bristol square will be the three single-storey units with ample car parking space in front of
them and a service lane behind. Designed by Mr Frederick Ost, the buildings feature such attractions as a terrace opening off the coffee house, a "look through” kitchen in which diners in the restaurant will have a view of their meals being prepared, showers, refrigerators, hotplates and writing desks in the motel rooms, and a general atmosphere of comfort and appealing textures.
