A Truly Special Island Lifestyle and Business Venture
Set across two titles – 5 and 11 Mulberry Grove – this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to secure an exceptional property and thriving island business in one of New Zealand’s most breath-taking coastal settings.
Sunset Waterfront Lodge is a well-established and steadily growing accommodation and hospitality business, lovingly expanded and enhanced by its current owners.
The property includes:
- A main residence with amazing sea views, featuring four bedrooms, including a huge master suite with ensuite, and spacious open-plan living areas that flow to decks capturing the stunning sunsets and sea views.
- Five self-contained villas, each with two bedrooms and their own bathroom, offering guests comfort, privacy, and relaxation.
- Four studios, each with one to two bedrooms and private bathrooms, ideal for couples, small families, or long-stay guests.
- A high-end manager’s residence, beautifully designed and recently built.
- A laundromat and ice-making business, serving both lodge guests and the local community.
- A beach hut stocked with water toys and equipment for hire, so guests can fully enjoy the island’s pristine waters.
- A marquee venue, ideal for weddings, retreats, and special events.
- A tour business and bus service perfectly integrated with the lodge operations.
Positioned just across the road from the beach, the lodge enjoys sublime sea views and spectacular sunsets. The grounds are beautifully maintained, featuring manicured gardens, a large vegetable garden supplying fresh produce, and free-range chickens providing fresh eggs daily. With fresh seafood only moments away, this is island living at its finest.
The business shows consistent year-on-year growth, offering a unique combination of solid income and idyllic lifestyle—perfect for a couple, family, or investor seeking a rewarding and sustainable coastal venture.
Just 30 minutes by plane from Auckland or the North Shore, or a short ferry ride to Tryphena, Great Barrier Island offers the best of New Zealand: untouched beauty, pristine beaches, world-class fishing, diving, hiking, and a welcoming community.
Sunset Waterfront Lodge offers so much more than you can imagine — lifestyle, income, and a genuine sense of place.
