A Proven Performer with Further Upside
Position, presentation, performance and potential - Marlin Court Motel presents an outstanding opportunity to secure a well-established freehold going concern in one of New Zealand's most sought-after visitor destinations.
Ideally positioned just minutes from Paihia township and the gateway to the Bay of Islands, this attractive 12-unit motel enjoys a highly convenient location for guests seeking to explore the region's renowned beaches, boating, fishing, sightseeing and tourism attractions.
Set across 1,618 sqm of land, more or less, Marlin Court combines a well-presented accommodation business with excellent lifestyle appeal, including a private swimming pool and spa area providing a welcome amenity for guests.
The accommodation comprises a versatile mix of:
- 8 x one-bedroom units
- 2 x two-bedroom units
- 2 x spacious studio apartments
The rooms have been recently redecorated and the complex is presented in very good condition, providing a fresh and appealing proposition for both guests and an incoming owner-operator.
Genuine Development Upside
Adding another dimension to the opportunity is the potential to increase the accommodation offering by a further three units, subject to Far North District Council approval.
Importantly, a geotechnical report has already been completed, providing a valuable head start for a purchaser wishing to investigate this expansion opportunity.
This potential development could provide an incoming owner with the ability to increase the motel's room inventory, enhance revenue-generating capacity and add further value to an already established accommodation business.
Substantial Managers' Accommodation
Adding further versatility is the substantial three-bedroom live-in managers' accommodation, positioned above the motel. Complete with a sizeable lounge, kitchen and dining area, this is a genuine home rather than simply managers' quarters - an important lifestyle advantage for those looking to combine business ownership with living in one of the Bay of Islands' premier tourism locations.
Strong Forward Bookings
Marlin Court has established a strong reputation within the Paihia accommodation market, supported by solid forward bookings for the upcoming season.
Importantly, the business is already showing 100% occupancy for both the New Year and Waitangi holiday periods, providing confidence in the underlying demand and the appeal of the property to visitors.
With its combination of established trading performance, recent refurbishment, quality accommodation and an enviable location, Marlin Court offers an incoming purchaser the opportunity to step into a business that is ready to perform from day one.
The Opportunity
Freehold going concerns of this calibre and scale in Paihia are tightly held, making Marlin Court a compelling proposition for owner-operators, tourism investors or buyers seeking a business with genuine lifestyle appeal.
The Bay of Islands continues to enjoy enduring popularity as a domestic and international tourism destination, and Paihia remains at the centre of the region's visitor economy.
Established business. Excellent location. Recent refurbishment. Strong forward bookings. Substantial managers' accommodation. And the potential to add three further units.
Marlin Court Motel represents an exciting opportunity to secure a proven Bay of Islands accommodation business with genuine scope for future growth.
This is one that deserves your attention.
