Freehold going concern lodge and campground

• Selling the land, buildings, and business
• Perfectly located as a base for exploring The Catlins
• Substantial land and buildings offering
• Unique, character-filled building

This substantial former hospital complex offers a rare opportunity to secure a large-scale freehold going concern Accommodation asset in Owaka, the gateway to the Catlins. Currently operating as holiday and backpacker accommodation, the property has undergone significant renovation while still presenting clear scope for further development or repositioning.
Set in a peaceful rural environment yet only a short walk from a local pub and supermarket, it combines scale, character, and convenience. The main wing includes six bedrooms, generous communal areas, and a self-contained two-bedroom Matron’s Flat with balcony views over surrounding farmland. The ‘Surat’ wing adds 14 bedrooms, seven with ensuites, along with additional communal facilities, while a partially renovated wing provides strong potential for future expansion. The complex is supported by a coal-fed boiler system, multiple outbuildings, a sprinkler system, powered camping sites, a covered BBQ gazebo, and extensive parking. In total, the property offers approximately 33 bedrooms, seven living areas, 14 bathrooms, and 13 toilets. Complementing the main accommodation is a popular two-bedroom guest cottage, and the owner’s quarters boast a rural outlook, creating a versatile, high-capacity asset in a growing tourism region.
