Oyster Inn

It is hard to imagine that the original 500 square metre, dilapidated space on the top floor of an old building in Oneroa could ever be turned into what is now the Oyster Inn. When HD Building was first presented with this brief we knew we had our work cut out but we could also see the owner's vision for what is now the most popular restaurant on the island.
Over seven months, the entire space was stripped and refit to include a brand new commercial kitchen, three luxury boutique bedrooms all with ensuites, a private function room, an office and a small shop. All with a fixed opening date!
Designer – Katie Lockhart.
From the client
“We engaged HD Building to renovate a rundown 500 sq metre office space into a small hotel with a limited time frame. A difficult brief.
Included was the major renovation of an existing restaurant —
a new kitchen, new layout, accommodation, a shop, a function room and a office.
Working tirelessly throughout the building process, they came up with innumerable solutions to unexpected problems. The workmanship of the team and suppliers was of a very high standard; they finished the project on time and on budget; and we are very happy with the end result”
— Jonathan Rutherford-Best
