Lodge Bordeaux stands alone as Whangārei's only 5-star motel facility, representing a high yield hospitality asset with a robust bottom line. Cemented by a 30-year lease (commencing April 2023) on a formal leasehold title, this business has delivered a consistent average net profit of $287,000 per year over the past eight years. For international buyers seeking a secure entry into the New Zealand market, this is a premier safe haven business backed by proven performance and a strong local reputation.
Lodge Bordeaux is a resilient, well-oiled machine. Its success lies in a loyal client base of returning professionals, government officials, and healthcare specialists. It is this corporate orientated mix that ensures the business comfortably withstands tourism fluctuations, offering a stable and recession-resistant income stream in a prime State Highway 1 location.
Whangarei's economic growth projections are significant, being the gateway to the North. The Port expansion, the new 4 lane highway, the rail upgrade and extension, industrial and residential developments, and the new Whangarei Hospital are just a few to mention to indicate the scope of growth and secure custom for Lodge Bordeaux.
Built to last and meticulously maintained, this property offers peace of mind:
Brick and plaster finish provides for a solid construction, superior soundproofing and a quiet guest experience.
A full exterior repaint was completed in 2024, ensuring a pristine first impression.
A brand-new, centrally reticulated hot water system (installed 2024) provides instant hot water to all 15 suites.
Comprehensive laundry facilities and an EV dual fast-charge bay ($25/charge) provide a significant operational advantage.
Operating Lodge Bordeaux provides the perfect balance of lifestyle and cashflow. The spacious, 3 bedroom owners accommodation offers a large private bathroom with shower and bath, and an internally accessed garage. The reception is adjacent to the living quarters and can be closed off for total privacy. The large kitchen offers the opportunity to prepare commercial portions for room service.
Current owners, David and Stephanie, have operated this facility comfortably for eight years. The business is so efficient that David has successfully managed a separate agricultural venture simultaneously-a testament to the turnkey nature of the motel business. With a dedicated cleaning crew who know the property intimately and established motel minders available for your time away, Lodge Bordeaux is truly a plug-and-play opportunity.
