After four-plus decades of service to the local community our vendor has decided it is time to offer this thriving business for sale.
The iconic hotel (est. 1878) is located on the busy State Highway 70 Scenic Route between Hanmer Springs and Kaikoura. It is the hub of the buoyant Amuri dairy basin.
With multiple revenue streams from contractors, steady passing trade, 'campervanners' and a loyal local clientele.
The hotel has four-stylish guest bedrooms plus the owner's own private wing.
Recent refurbishments to the hotel include a rustic hunting and fishing themed main bar and the restoration of the historic (1878) Old Stables. The stunning generously proportioned formal dining room seats up to 20 and an attractive function suite with separate entrance seat a further 30 diners.
Complementing this business are seven tidy double cabins, separate shower block and kitchen plus lawned camping ground with power sites. This being a popular destination for 'campervanners' due to the attractive landscaped setting and friendly New Zealand hospitality on the doorstep.
A new drawcard is the vintage shop and garden centre launched in Spring 2020. The rationale: to embrace the "shop local" trend and boost footfall. Located in the adjacent historic restored Old Stables it offers ample scope for a new owner to adapt to their own business model, if desired.
This substantial unique property is being sold as a freehold 'going concern' it includes the land, buildings, chattels, and business, plus stock at valuation.
Could this be your long-awaited rural lifestyle change or are you the skilled hospitality leaseholder to put your own stamp on this iconic hospitality business.
