Currently run by a single working owner, Aquarius Motel offers the ideal balance between income and lifestyle. The business has built a strong reputation with holidaymakers, repeat guests, and corporate travellers, supported by spacious accommodation, excellent location, and strong online reviews.
Aquarius is a solid, well-presented motel with spacious apartment-style units perfectly suited to the family holiday market that continues to flock to one of New Zealand’s most popular beaches.

The Ōhope accommodation market remains tightly held and undersupplied, with limited large-scale accommodation development and few motel opportunities becoming available. Annual occupancy averages approximately 66%, with strong summer and early autumn trading.
There is clear potential for a new owner to grow revenue and improve profitability through stronger marketing, enhanced OTA utilisation, refurbishment, and expanded direct bookings, with historical profits previously reaching circa $100,000.
Aquarius Motel offers an attractive Bay of Plenty lifestyle with genuine upside in a location where demand continues to outperform supply. Why wait? Enquire now.
