Description
Tourism Investment – Freehold Going Concern + GST (if any)
An outstanding opportunity to acquire a well-established, multi-income tourism business in the historic West Coast township of Ross.
The Historic Empire Hotel and adjacent Ross Motels are offered to the market as a combined freehold going concern, with the current owners now seeking retirement after a successful period of ownership.
The hotel operation comprises a popular bar and restaurant servicing both locals and visitors, complemented by a spacious outdoor garden bar area well-suited to live entertainment, functions, and casual dining. The property also operates as a registered campground, providing an additional revenue stream. Accommodation within the hotel complex includes six ensuite guest rooms, six cabins, an ablution block, and a semi-detached owner/manager’s flat.
Adjacent to the hotel, the motel offers six well-presented, recently upgraded units with capacity to accommodate up to 17 guests, along with a modern three-bedroom residence (circa 17 years old).
The business has demonstrated strong recent performance, with a 20% increase in turnover in the last financial year. Further growth is anticipated with the reconnection of the West Coast Wilderness Cycle Trail to Ross, including the new suspension bridge over the Totara River, reinforcing the township as a key start and finish point for the trail.
This is a compelling opportunity to secure a diversified hospitality asset with multiple income streams in an increasingly popular tourism destination.
Asking Price: $2,150,000 + GST (if any)
