BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
We proudly offer a particularly well-presented motel on a highly visible corner site on the main route (State Highway 1) in Oamaru, conveniently located close to the centre of town. With established clientele this motel produces excellent consistent returns, with membership of the popular â??Host Accommodationâ?ť group a real bonus for an intending purchaser because of the strong business generated from this.
Predominantly ground-level units make for ease of operation - this business has been successfully operated for several years by one person with some outside assistance as required. A very attractive and user-friendly website has been developed to attract guests to the motel â?? websites are now becoming the preferred option for attracting bookings and enquiries, and this business is well served by its website.
The motelâ??s 10 sparkling units have a solid 4-star independent Qualmark rating, with a very good mix of unit types to cater for the needs of a wide range of guests. The business has a secure lease in place, and a reasonable annual rental. The managerâ??s residence towards the rear of the site is spacious with 4 bedrooms providing a pleasant retreat for the operator, while providing handy access to the reception office.
Oamaru is a thriving provincial town within 1.5 hours' drive north of Dunedin. The town has a strongly growing tourism industry attracted to its heritage building precincts with stunning examples of local Oamaru stone construction. In addition tourists flock to view the blue penguin colonies. The penguins come ashore daily at dusk, which is particularly beneficial to the local accommodation industry, as those viewing this attraction are unlikely to leave the town after the viewing, and therefore require overnight accommodation. These attractions, cafes and restaurants are within easy walking distance of the motel.
In the farming hinterland there is considerable activity which brings people to the town to stay. For example Holcim Cement is planning to locate a manufacturing plant close to Oamaru, and hydro-electric / irrigation schemes associated with the Waitaki River are also in planning stages. The town is an excellent base for those intending to go salmon or trout fishing in the Waitaki River, or for visiting the picturesque hydro lakes (Lakes Waitaki, Aviemore, and Benmore) further upstream, into the MacKenzie Basin.
This motel is a â??must seeâ?ť and represents genuine good value for those who see the benefits of having an excellent consistent income, complete with a very comfortable residence, in an attractive location â?? contact Athol McCully today for further details.
