Rare Opportunity & Awards Galore!!

Crafty Trout Bar & Eatery is a multi-award-winning bar and eatery located at 131 Tongariro Street at the northern gateway into Taupo, Taupo was recently voted the Supreme Award winner in the 2023 Most Beautiful Cities and Towns Award. The town is one of New Zealand's premier domestic tourism and events destinations, recently securing the hosting rights for Supercars for the next 3-years, with the first event in May 2024. Taupo will also host the Ironman 70.3 World Championships in December 2024. It annually hosts the NZ Ironman event.

The Crafty Trout is a popular and well-known destination for both locals and visitors to Taupo. The current owner has invested heavily into the Alpine Chalet theme and operates the bar & eatery as a lifestyle-business for 5 days per week, while still achieving an impressive financial performance.

The building, which can also be purchased, occupies a c.291sqm site and has a floor area of c.376sqm over two floors. The bar & eatery is on the first floor, with the eatery flowing out onto verandah overlooking the Tongariro Domain, a venue for many events including the Ironman finishing line. Also on the first floor is a one-bedroom, newly re-furbished apartment, which could be used by the owner or a live-in manager. The apartment has a private deck attached.

The ground floor covers c.183. An incoming owner may choose to utilise this space to expand the bar & eatery or lease it to a new tenant. There are 2 carparks and a storage shed at the rear of the property accessed via a service lane.

This sale provides a rare and outstanding opportunity for a new owner to take the business to the next level and to, perhaps, generate a separate rental income from the ground floor.
