Mediterranean Motel In Kaikoura For Sale

Business description

Mediterranean Motel is situated on State Highway 1 just north of the township of Kaikoura and is a very appealing motel of 13 units,

Mediterranean Motel opened just eight years ago and offers guests an excellent standard of accommodation. The units are well chattelled, immaculately maintained and the complex is presented in pristine condition throughout. All units are at ground level and double glazed for guests comfort.

Mediterranean Motel is an easier one of its type to operate and would ideally suit a couple wishing to purchase a modern, quality motel business and still giving good opportunity to improve both the business and the value of their purchase.

All units are self contained and the complex is single level, with guests car parking situated immediately outside each unit. Some of the rooms provide direct views of the nearby mountains, which receive reasonable coatings of snow during the winter season. The motel attracts many tourists from overseas and some units have inter-connecting doors to cater for family groups.

The owner's residence is set nicely within the complex and provides two bedrooms, great private living and a private outdoor area.

The motel has been graded by Qualmark as a Four Star motel reflecting the high levels of quality and presentation. This independent assessment is made on an annual basis to ensure consistency is maintained.

The Kaikoura Peninsula extends into the sea south of the town, and the resulting upwelling currents bring an abundance of marine life from the depths of the nearby Hikurangi Trench. The town owes its origin to this effect, since it developed as a centre for the whaling industry. The name 'Kaikoura' means 'To eat crayfish' ('kai'- to eat, 'koura' - crayfish) and the crayfish industry is a major contributor to the economy of the region. However Kaikoura has now become a popular tourist destination, mainly for whale watching (the Sperm Whale watching is perhaps the best and most developed in the world) and swimming with or near dolphins. There is also a large and readily observed colony of Southern Fur Seals at the eastern edge of the town. At low tide, better viewing of the seals can be had as the ocean gives way to a rocky base which is easily navigable by foot for quite some distance.

It is also one of the best reasonably accessible places in the world to see open ocean seabirds such as albatrosses.

While technically not part of Marlborough, the town boasts the southernmost winery of the Marlborough region.

The town has a strikingly beautiful setting, as the Kaikoura mountains, a branch of the Southern Alps come nearly to the sea at this point on the coast. Because of this, there are many walking tracks up and through the mountains. A common one for tourists is the Mt. Fyffe track, which winds up Mt. Fyffe, and gives a panoramic view of the Kaikoura peninsula at the summit.

Price is plus GST if any.
