The Havelock Garden Motel presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a well-established accommodation business in the heart of Havelock, with prime frontage to State Highway 6 and just a short stroll to the township’s restaurants, cafés, and the bustling marina.
First opened in the 1960s, the property has undergone a series of refurbishments and expansions over the decades, including a new motel block completed in 2007. A spacious three-bedroom manager’s residence with integrated reception, built in 2002, provides a comfortable family home surrounded by native bush and a tranquil stream.
Operated by our vendors for the past five years, the motel is known for its immaculate presentation and welcoming hospitality. The 12 fully self-contained units are generously sized, appealing to both holidaymakers and corporate travellers. Currently the only motel in Havelock, it holds a unique position in the local market, with an excellent reputation and a loyal base of repeat guests.
Perfectly situated for those exploring the Marlborough Sounds, pausing between Tasman and Marlborough towns, or indulging in the region’s famous green shell mussels, the Havelock Garden Motel offers more than just accommodation—it delivers a memorable experience. With easy access to the Pelorus/Havelock boat ramps, Marlborough Sounds attractions, fishing, boating and wine country, the location consistently draws holiday bookings and repeat visitors. Its position on the main road provides outstanding visibility and convenient access, while also placing guests within easy reach of recreational facilities and just 20 minutes from Marlborough’s renowned vineyards and wineries.
With a strong trading history and proven demand, this business offers incoming operators both a lifestyle and a business with real potential.
