The project, which will be similar to those overlooking the 14th tee, sees the replacement of five old cabins overlooking the resort pool and croquet courts.
The cabins were removed off-site in April, with four sold privately to nearby holiday parks, and a fifth proudly donated to the Goorambat Veterans’ Retreat - which provides temporary accommodation for war veterans.
Local builder Jack Riches of Riches Homes & Improvements Mulwala is undertaking the project which is his seventh big accommodation project at the golf club resort.
The replacement build of two new villas, similar to those overlooking the 14th tee, is being managed by local builder Jack Riches of Riches Homes & Improvements Mulwala. Jack has successfully overseen seven other accommodation projects at the golf club.
The two new three-bedroom, three-bathroom villas have a completion date set for March 2024.
Once open, the resort will house 60 accommodation units, with 42 one-bedroom suites, 8 two-bedroom apartments and 10 three-bedroom villas. With each option featuring king-size split bedding, the resort will have the capacity to accommodate more than 170 golfers at a time.
Yarrawonga Mulwala Golf Club Resort is the only golf club along the Murray River Yarra to have three-bedroom/bathroom accommodation units.
In 2007, two three-bedroom, three-bathroom units known as the ‘Boronia Villas’ were constructed in a block along the entrance to what is Australia’s largest public access golf course. The 45 holes comprise two championship golf courses – the Lake Course and the Murray Course – and an Executive Nine.
In 2010, two three-bedroom three-bathroom units were built behind the green of the challenging Par 5, 13th hole.
“The three-bedroom units are our most sought-after accommodation,” club CEO Peter Savy said.
“The new accommodation will increase our occupancy by 11 per cent and we expect to have the total cost paid back around seven years.”
