The Ben Nevis – a Turakina Icon

A piece of Turakina history with an exciting future.

Highly recognisable to locals and travellers passing through Turakina, The Ben Nevis is a substantial and character-filled property with a history as one of the area's well-known pubs.

Positioned prominently on State Highway 3, this impressive property sits on approximately 4,785m² of land and offers around 450m² of building, providing an enormous amount of space and an opportunity rarely found in a small rural township.

The former pub layout remains remarkably well suited to hospitality, accommodation or a range of alternative commercial uses, subject to the necessary approvals.

Inside, the property features:

8 bedrooms

A dedicated pool room

Existing bar area

Separate men's and women's toilets

Multiple additional toilets throughout the building

Large commercial-style kitchen with commercial oven

Extensive downstairs and upstairs accommodation and amenity areas

Two balconies, including a west-facing roadside balcony overlooking State Highway 3

A second rear balcony with views across the surrounding countryside

Approximately 450m2 of floor area

Approximately 4,785m2 of freehold land

Commercial Zone A

The two balconies provide a particularly appealing contrast — the front balcony captures the activity and passing traffic of State Highway 3, while the rear balcony looks out across the surrounding rural landscape.

Whether your vision is to bring The Ben Nevis back to life as a hospitality destination, create an accommodation business, establish a unique commercial venture, or explore another use for this substantial property, there is plenty here to work with.

The combination of history, recognition, scale, highway exposure, accommodation and existing hospitality infrastructure makes this a truly distinctive opportunity.

The Ben Nevis is more than a building — it is a familiar part of the Turakina landscape, ready for its next chapter.
