Positioned in one of Blenheim’s most recognisable hospitality locations, the iconic Raupo Café presents a rare opportunity to secure both the established business and building on leasehold land creating this iconic tightly held central waterfront setting.

Located at 6 Symons Street, this architecturally designed café and restaurant premises enjoys a rare high-profile position, visible from SH 1, with a desirable north-facing aspect overlooking the river and surrounding reserve. The combination of strong visual appeal, excellent accessibility, and limited competing waterfront sites makes this a standout investment and business opportunity.

The building includes features such as a dedicated traiteur with express parking, reception and restaurant areas, dining and meeting spaces, commercial kitchen and service areas, accessible amenities, guest toilets, mezzanine floor, offices, and storage facilities. All thoughtfully configured to support efficient hospitality operations.

The lease structure provides long-term security of tenure, with the current ground lease commencing on 1 April 2007 for a 33-year term, including renewal rights. With the benefit of renewal provisions, the lease has a final expiry at the end of March 2073, providing approximately 47 years remaining. This extended lease term offers confidence and stability for owner-operators and investors alike.

Raupo Café offers purchasers the chance to secure an established hospitality destination in one of Marlborough’s most sought-after commercial and tourism locations. Contact Wade Cornelius and Michael Ryan today for more information or to view the property.
