Stunning Lifestyle & Boutique B&B Business for Sale
| Location: | Ruapehu, Manawatu / Whanganui |
|---|
Set on an expansive rural property near Tongariro World Heritage Park, this successful 4-star guest experience combines comfort, nature, and strong business potential. Since 2017, the current owner has thoughtfully enhanced and expanded the property, creating a highly regarded destination known as The River Lodge.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
Lifestyle + Income: Live onsite while generating consistent revenue from guest stays
Established Reputation: Proven 4-star accommodation with strong guest appeal
Freehold + Business: Includes land, buildings, and a fully operational going concern
Property & Facilities
Main lodge with:
Owner’s accommodation
3 guest rooms on the first floor
Dining room and lounge (both with fireplaces)
Multi-purpose function space
Semi-professional kitchen
4 semi self-contained guest chalets (2 of them new built 2 years ago)
Unique guest accommodation: restored kauri wood boat (launching for winter 2026)
Business Potential
Existing international agent relationships support strong summer bookings
Significant opportunity to expand into weddings, retreats, and events
Year-round tourism appeal with skiing, biking, hiking, and river activities nearby
Location Highlights:
Enjoy direct access to some of New Zealand’s best outdoor experiences—from snow sports and mountain biking to trout fishing and scenic river journeys—all in the heart of the central North Island.
Sale Details: Freehold land, buildings, and business offered together
Price: Offers over NZD $3,500,000 + GST (if any)

Please note: Certain business details are confidential and available upon completion of a confidentiality agreement.
Make the move to a lifestyle that rewards both personally and financially.
