9125 Hyde-Middlemarch Road, Ranfurly, Central Otago, Otago, 9397, New Zealand
This is no ordinary home/business opportunity on the Central Otago Rail Trail (any negotiated sale price will be plus GST if any).
Hyde School House Accommodation and Eatery is a top quality accommodation business in the form of five ensuite (hotel styled) rooms. Occupancy is suitable for 1-3 guests per room as well as the ability to have a two room family suite for guests, which are predominantly rail trail cyclists.
The Hyde school house has undergone an amazing makeover and is now converted into a dining room, lounge and commercial kitchen. Huge potential to open as a cafe which is definitely lacking in this area. The premises also has a liquor licence.
Outside is the school’s old open air pool which is now converted into a lovely sheltered seating area, perfect for BBQ’s or once again for cafe seating, so the guests can soak up the Central Otago sun.
The owners accommodation is a lovely sunny three bedroom home with open plan kitchen/living/dining all heated by a woodburner. Out the back is a private deck, spa pool and vegetable gardens.
To top it off the old school grounds are large with plenty of space for the kids to roam safely, ideal for young and old alike to play a game of cricket or try out their tennis skills on the council owned tennis courts next door.
The business model is based mostly on pre-booked accommodation from the cycle tour groups with independent cyclists making up the remainder of bookings. A hearty evening meal is cooked with two meats, plenty of seasonal vegetables and a dessert while breakfasts are self serve continental style. With being licenced, good wines, beer and local whiskey is available for guests. The owners operate the business from late August/early September through to early May. Then the lifestyle aspect takes over for the owners and allows them to travel extensively during the winter months.
Here is a well run tourist business and property for sale with the opportunity of a real upside if someone wishes to open the kitchen as a cafe.
