59 Beach Road presents a rare opportunity to secure a purpose-built commercial property in one of Akaroa’s most tightly held waterfront positions.
Formerly home to the successful Akaroa Fish & Chips business, the property combines a prominent Beach Road location with a modern, purpose-built facility and substantial existing hospitality infrastructure. Set on an approximately 400m² freehold landholding, the property provides approximately 221m² of building area, purpose designed for food and hospitality use.
The existing fit-out provides an exceptional head start for an owner-operator or investor, with significant infrastructure including commercial freezers, chillers, extraction systems and hoods already in place. This substantially reduces the capital expenditure and establishment time typically associated with creating a comparable hospitality operation from the ground up.
The modern, low-maintenance building provides flexibility for a range of hospitality and food service concepts, while its waterfront position delivers outstanding profile and visibility within Akaroa's established commercial and visitor precinct.
A Proven Hospitality Position
The property has a history of successful trading as Akaroa Fish & Chips, providing a strong foundation for an operator looking to establish a new concept or reinstate a proven style of business. With its combination of location, infrastructure and freehold ownership, 59 Beach Road offers an attractive proposition for an owner-occupier seeking a high-profile operating base, or an investor looking to secure a quality commercial asset with the potential to attract a tenant.
The vendor has previously held the adjoining property as their Akaroa holiday home and has now sold that property. With that chapter complete, 59 Beach Road is being offered for genuine sale. This is not a speculative offering. The vendor is committed to selling, providing purchasers with a clear opportunity to secure this tightly held waterfront asset when it comes to auction.
For sale by Auction 10am, Thursday 5 November 2026 (unless sold prior). Auction venue is Colliers Auction Room, Building 1, Level 1, 181 High Street, Central Christchurch, 8011.
