An established Picton accommodation operation offered for sale as a complete freehold going concern, incorporating the underlying land and buildings, operating business and associated chattels.
Occupying two freehold titles at 16 and 16A Gravesend Place, the property provides a combined landholding of approximately 1,917sqm, creating a substantial real estate component beneath the established accommodation business.
Tombstone Lodge provides a diverse range of guest accommodation, over 14 rooms up to 38 guests, supported by extensive communal and recreational facilities, together with dedicated owner/manager accommodation. The property has been progressively developed and configured for visitor accommodation, creating an established operating platform for an incoming purchaser.
The accommodation offering is complemented by substantial shared facilities including communal kitchen and dining areas, guest lounge and recreation spaces, outdoor areas, spa facilities, guest laundry, off-street parking and other operational amenities.
A strategic Picton location.Positioned within easy reach of central Picton, the marina and the town's ferry connections, Tombstone Lodge benefits from a location at one of New Zealand's key inter-island transport gateways.
Picton acts not only as the principal connection between the North and South Islands, but also as the gateway to the Marlborough Sounds, Queen Charlotte Track and wider Marlborough visitor market.
Property ownership with an operating business
A key point of difference is the ability to acquire the business and the real estate from which it operates. Rather than taking on a leasehold accommodation business, an incoming purchaser obtains ownership of the two freehold properties together with the established business and a substantial inventory of operational chattels.
The existing owner/manager accommodation provides further operational flexibility, whether the business continues under a hands-on ownership model or transitions to an alternative management structure.
