Year of build : ?
Current status : Abandoned
 
This site was built sometime in the 70’s or 80’s, or perhaps even earlier. It’s been said that for a time the location had been used as a holiday retreat for lucky employees or guests of a major corporate group.

The property sports 2 accommodation towers, one 3 storeys high and the other 2 storeys. In the front garden is a kidney shaped swimming pool, which to no surprise has since become a major mosquito breeding pool. On one of my first explores here in 2003, a small band of migrant workers had taken up residence inside the guard hut at the front of the property. At the time, they seemed unsure of my presence as to exactly what I was doing there, but one of them seemed open enough and actually began showing me around the place! They seemed proud to be living there and were actually attempting to keep the place relatively clean, sweeping up old leaves and debris.

Today (2016) the migrant workers have long moved out leaving the location to decay away peacefully behind newly errected metal hoardings.
