Business Description

Chocolate Gannets stands as the only five-star accommodation along the Great Ocean Road, offering a rare freehold going concern opportunity that combines premium market positioning with exceptional operational simplicity.

This multi-award-winning property comprises four luxury villas on approximately 7,600 square metres, delivering strong profitability of over $544,000 per annum through premium nightly rates ranging from $500 to $750.

The business operates with minimal hands-on requirements, managed remotely by current owners with just two casual cleaning staff, whilst maintaining outstanding guest satisfaction evidenced by a 9.6 rating on Booking.com and 4.9 on Google.

Established contracts with inbound tour operators ensure consistent demand, supported by a balanced mix of domestic and international leisure travellers drawn to this iconic coastal tourism route.

The investment proposition extends beyond current performance, with significant upside potential through enhanced digital marketing and social media strategies that can further capitalise on the property's uncontested market position.

Full turnkey acquisition includes a meticulously maintained asset requiring no immediate capital expenditure, allowing new ownership to focus on revenue enhancement rather than remediation.
