A Job You Love. A Life You Choose. A Business That Already Works.

Most people spend years dreaming about a change. The ones who act find something like this.

Sunset Waterfront Lodge is a fully operational accommodation and hospitality business on the waterfront at Tryphena, Aotea Great Barrier Island. Not a project. Not a renovation. A running business with established income, returning guests, and a reputation built over years in one of New Zealand’s most extraordinary communities.

Great Barrier Island does not have a Countdown. It does not have a chain hotel. It does not have the noise. What it has is a way of life that the mainland quietly envies and rarely achieves. The people here know each other. They show up for each other. And at the centre of Tryphena, Sunset Waterfront Lodge is part of that fabric.

A four-bedroom owner’s residence on the water’s edge is waiting for you & your family. Four studio units and five A-frame guest villas generating accommodation income. A commercial catering kitchen. Multiple laundry facilities. A large ice machine supplying the community. A bait freezer for fishing guests. Equipment for kayaking, cycling, and guided tours. A helipad. A second freehold title of 1,708m2 of flat land adjoining the property, ready for whatever you build next.

The systems are in place. The business is self-powered and water-sourced on site. The guest base is loyal. The infrastructure supports growth in any direction you choose, from eco-luxury, weddings, wellness, tour groups, or simply doing what is already being done and doing it well.

The current owners built something that runs. They are ready to hand it to someone who will take it further.

This is not a holiday. This is a life.
