Some properties come with a view. Some come with a business. This one comes with a global fan-base.
Just a short stroll from the world-famous sands of Hot Water Beach, Hot Waves Cafe first opened its doors in January 2005 and has since become part of the fabric of this coastal community.
Under its current owners since 2022, Hot Waves has continued to build on that legacy, welcoming locals and visitors with the combination of great food, coffee, art, music and relaxed garden dining for which it is known.
Now, the opportunity has arrived to secure the land, buildings and established business behind this Coromandel icon.
Set on approximately 3,500sqm, the property has been thoughtfully developed around its coastal setting. The purpose-built cafe combines earth brick and timber, with generous indoor dining, gallery walls, an open fire and a substantial commercial kitchen.
Outside, established native gardens create a sheltered alfresco dining area and an atmosphere that feels distinctly ‘Hotty’, relaxed, welcoming and unmistakably local.
The location is difficult to beat. Hot Water Beach is one of New Zealand’s most recognised natural attractions, drawing domestic and international visitors throughout the year, with Hot Waves just a short stroll from the beach.
With a good slice of land, an established hospitality business, distinctive buildings, generous customer parking and one of the Coromandel’s biggest attractions virtually on the doorstep, opportunities like this are few and far between.
