Established café/restaurant for sale in sunny Kaikoura.

Dreaming of owning your own café? Chef looking to make something your own? Family looking to relocate to a beautiful seaside village?

Kaikoura is a great spot, home to the famous whale watch industry, dolphin encounters and fabulous fishing.

The café/restaurant is currently trading as Sime’s Kitchen. It has very strong Trip Advisor reviews and was rated in the Cuisine Good Food Guide as one of top 200 restaurants in Aotearoa. With its innovative and creative menu, it has a point of difference with many other local options and is very popular for this reason. It’s currently open 6 days a week with a focus on the morning coffee run and as a popular lunch spot.

This is a successful business with the option for growth. Specifically, you have the option to open for dinner, and to build on the several outside catering contracts in place. It also has an underutilised upstairs area available for events.

Owner-operator has been here for five years and is relocating.
