Oceanfront Accommodation Business For Sale — 85 Acres, Mitchells Island NSW
Trading coastal accommodation on approximately 85 acres. Over 750 metres of ocean frontage, three letting cottages, consent for ten more.
If you have been looking at accommodation businesses for any length of time, you will know the problem with most of them.
The good ones are priced on performance the operator has already extracted. You buy the ceiling. You inherit a business optimised by someone who knew exactly what they were doing, and you pay for every hour of their work.
Seaside Retreat is the other kind.
Approximately 85 acres on the NSW Mid North Coast, with over 750 metres of direct ocean dune frontage and a private, self-contained setting. Three cottages, two one-bedroom and one two-bedroom, are letting now with an established booking history. A five-bedroom residence, with approximately 242m² of upstairs living area excluding the wraparound balcony and under-house storage, sits among the trees, set back from the dune line, and is not currently in the letting pool at all.
The owners live in Sydney. They visit. The property has been operated on a passive lifestyle basis, under-managed rather than underperforming.
For a buyer who runs accommodation properly, that is the reason to look.
The operating picture
Three self-contained cottages letting now, established booking history — sleeping up to 14 in total (typically 8), with sofa-bed configurations
Five-bedroom residence, approx. 242m² upstairs living area excluding balcony and under-house storage, presently outside the letting pool
Development consent for ten further single-level cottages, two and three bedroom, slabs commenced on part of the site.
Guest demand demonstrated with no active management, no rate strategy and no professional distribution
Gross turnover from the cottage operation is in the order of $75,000–$100,000. Gross estimate only, derived from vendor-supplied information. Not a representation of profit or of future performance. Prospective purchasers must make their own enquiries and obtain their own advice.
What an operator does with it
Put the residence into the pool. Put the cottages onto proper distribution with managed rates and a real minimum-stay calendar. Build out the ten approved cottages against demand that already exists rather than demand you have to create.
Whole-of-site occasions, private celebrations, functions, catering and group or sporting camps are uses buyers frequently ask about on a landholding of this scale. All are subject to council approval. None is currently in place and no figures are represented in relation to them.
How this works
- Request the Information Memorandum. It carries the trading information the vendors have made available, the site plan and the development consent material.
- A short conversation by phone. What you operate now, what you are looking to add, how you would fund it.
- Inspection by private appointment.
The cottages have guests staying, so inspections are by private appointment rather than open viewing. Happy to arrange one once you’ve had the trading material and we’ve had a chance to talk.
