Kohatu Landmark - Income, Lifestyle & Opportunity

The former iconic Kohatu Hotel, now operating as Kohatu Flatrock Cafe & Boutique Accommodation offers a rare chance to secure a landmark property that combines income, lifestyle, and exciting development potential in one of Tasman's most strategic locations.

Positioned on a prominent corner site with direct frontage to State Highway 6 and Motueka Valley Highway, the property enjoys strong visibility and steady passing traffic, ensuring a reliable stream of customers year-round. Its location alongside the Great Taste Cycle Trail which accesses the Spooner Tunnel just 7km away if one of the trail's most popular attractions - enhancing its profile as a true destination. The proposed Kohatu Park motorsport facility is also set to boost visitor numbers in the years ahead.

Steeped in history, the hotel's original two-storey frontage dates back to 1894, retaining its character charm while offering modern upgrades, including a stylishly refurbished café. Adding to its appeal for today's travellers, the site is equipped with EV chargers for both electric vehicles and e-bikes, creating a welcome stop for the growing number of eco-conscious visitors.

For an owner-operator, the option of living onsite while running the dual business makes this a genuine home-and-income proposition. For investors, the combination of established turnover, limited local competition, and a region experiencing strong growth promises long-term returns.

The dwelling boasts 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, including a managers/owner's quarters.

Beyond the existing operations, the property offers scale and versatility for further development. With a substantial landholding, there is potential to optimise the current improvements, explore a subdivision, or pursue new commercial and mixed-use opportunities in line with rising demand across the Nelson Tasman region.

This iconic landmark is more than just a hospitality business - it's an investment in heritage, location, and opportunity. Whether as a commercial holding, a work-from-home venture, or the foundation for a new enterprise, this property delivers flexibility, character, and untapped potential in equal measure.
