When I asked Monique about it this spring, she indicated the new cottages wouldn't be ready for a couple of years! Seems like a very long time! If it's really going to take that long, they must be doing it very gradually. I did see a tripadvisor reveiw a few months ago mentioning a bit of contruction noise during the day, I believe they were staying on that side of the path.
Looking at your ticker, it won't be much longer for you either! I hope you won't be too disappointed in Country Country after staying at the new Catcha cottage, it will be SO rustic in comparison, but still offering good basics in a beach cottage. It does have a nice welcoming, quiet, homey feel. Make sure you get to breakfast no later than 10:00 a.m., it's all done (no exceptions) at 10:30.
