Construction of a 25 bedroom hotel and conference centre, including a 20m high viewing tower, restaurant, craft shop and new petrol filling station (Total area 3900m²). The 20m high viewing tower gives views stretching for miles in every direction overlooking the natural forest landscape and the famous Twelve Bens Mountains.
