Opportunities like this are the stuff people talk about… but rarely get the chance to own.
Welcome to the Whakataki Hotel - an iconic country pub just minutes from the wild beauty of Castlepoint. This is where lifestyle, community, and income come together in a way that’s getting harder and harder to find.
Set on approximately 1 hectare, this well-loved destination has earned its place as one of New Zealand’s Top 5 Country Pubs (2025), drawing a loyal local following alongside a steady stream of holidaymakers, surfers, fishermen, and road-trippers.
It’s all here, ready to go:
•8-bedroom main hotel with guest lounge – the heart of the action
•6 cabins providing consistent accommodation income
•Caravan / motorhome sites tapping into the ever-growing holiday market
•A fully equipped commercial kitchen ready for service
•A secure fuel lease with North Fuels, supplying diesel to the wider community
Step outside and you’re just 400 metres from the beach and Castlepoint’s coastline and a golf course right next door. It’s the kind of location people escape to… and now you could call it your home, your investment or your place of work.
Run it your way:
Currently leased to a new operator which can be continued for the future and you can sit back and enjoy the returns or if you prefer, take the reins as an owner-operator and immerse yourself in the lifestyle. Either way, you’re stepping into a proven business with real heart.
This is a place where families can thrive, where retirees can slow things down without stopping completely, and where younger buyers can swap the daily grind for something far more rewarding.
Morning coffees by the sea. Busy summer evenings. A business that pays its way. A lifestyle that’s hard to beat. This isn’t just a property, it isn’t just a business - it’s a way of life.
