A freehold property on the edge of the beautiful Waimea Estuary in Nelson, with the unlikely address of 30 Quiet Woman Way, is for sale.
Strategically positioned next to the Grand Mercure Resort, it houses the resort’s only restaurant, which is popular among resort guests and locals alike.
The building’s classic architecture is in the same Tudor style as the Grand Mercure and features solid block and hand rendered bricks, old wharf timber beams and lintels circa 1852, terracotta roof tiles, specimen timber joinery, black and white hand cut tessellated stone flooring, and artisan hand plastered walls.
Marketing agent Geoff Faulkner, a Director of Colliers International in Nelson, says the management company of Grand Mercure has an eight-year lease which expires in 2028 with another two rights of renewal of eight years apiece.
