A Rare Lifestyle & Business Opportunity – Fully Established, Turnkey, and Untouched Great Barrier
Set across two titles – 5 and 11 Mulberry Grove – this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to secure a truly exceptional property and thriving island business in one of New Zealand’s most spectacular coastal locations.
Sunset Lodge is a well-established and steadily growing accommodation and hospitality business, thoughtfully reinvested into and expanded by its current owners, who have completed all the hard work and improvements, investing over $1.4 million to date. The business now offers a fully turnkey operation with forward bookings from tour companies, ensuring a confident and secure future.
The property and business feature:
High-end manager’s residence, beautifully designed and recently built
Four stylish studios and five self-contained villas, ideal for short- or long-term guests
Laundromat and ice-making service, serving both guests and the local community
Beach hut with water toys and equipment for hire, allowing guests to fully enjoy the ocean playground
Marquee venue for weddings, retreats, and special events
Tour business and bus service, seamlessly integrated with lodge operations
Forward bookings with tour companies, providing immediate revenue and confidence in ongoing income
Across the road from the beach, the lodge enjoys sublime sea views and spectacular sunsets. The grounds are beautifully maintained, with manicured gardens, a large vegetable patch supplying fresh produce, and free-range chickens providing eggs daily. Fresh seafood is moments away – this is island living at its finest.
The business delivers a robust EBIT of $180,000 and continues to grow steadily year on year, offering an exciting income stream and an idyllic lifestyle for a couple or family seeking a rewarding change of pace. The owners are confident in the product and committed to providing ongoing support for a smooth transition.
Great Barrier Island is just 30 minutes by plane from Auckland or the North Shore, or a short ferry ride to nearby Tryphena. With world-class fishing, diving, hiking, and a vibrant local community, this is New Zealand at its most untouched, inspiring, and full of opportunity.
Sunset Lodge offers so much more than a business – it is a lifestyle, income, and a genuine sense of place. Fully established, beautifully improved, and ready for a new owner to step in and enjoy the rewards immediately.
