|---|
Embrace Lake Taupo Living with a Thriving Community Café
Nestled in the picturesque village of Kuratau on the south western shore of Lake Taupo, Floating Rock Cafe is the beating heart of its community. Renowned for its welcoming atmosphere and delicious wood-fired pizzas, the café doubles as a community centre and social hub, drawing locals and visitors alike. The Café made the top 5 in the recent 2025 Taupo business peoples choice awards.
Since its opening in 2010, Floating Rock Cafe has evolved into a vibrant, well-loved establishment. The current owner, after nurturing and growing the business since 2019 has decided it is time for a new chapter. This presents a rare opportunity to take over a thriving business with firm roots in the local community.
Operations and Hours
The business operates four days a week during school term, making it ideal for owner-operators seeking a balanced lifestyle. During holiday seasons, when the village population swells with visitors the café rises to the occasion, opening seven days a week. Standard hours run from 9am to 7pm, though there is scope for an incoming owner to adapt and expand these times.
Ideal Ownership
If you’re looking for a business where you can really feel at home and be part of a friendly community, this Kuratau café could be just what you’re after. It’s a great mix of a solid business and a relaxed lifestyle, perfect for owner-operators who want more than just a job. The lease is generous with an amazing landlord, the café is already well-known and loved, and everything’s set up so you can walk in and get started. There’s also lots of room to grow the business, whether that’s opening longer hours, adding new products or catering for events. Altogether, this is a rare chance to take over a thriving café, enjoy a great lifestyle, and become part of a close-knit, welcoming community.
