Dunedin Central, South Island

St Kilda Beach 17 Unit Motel - Price Reduced

Business Lease $799,000

Business Description

We bring this motel back to the market after a strong 2026 financial year with some recent months setting records for the motel and a price reduction from the original listing price of $880,000 to $799,000.

The complex comprises 17 spacious, well-appointed studios plus 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom units with kitchen facilities. Ideal for corporate guests, contractors, families, and sports groups.

This motel's scale offers strong revenue potential and the flexibility to suit your preferred management style, whether you plan to operate it yourself, run it as a couple, relocate the family to Dunedin, or hold it as an investment with the option to appoint a manager.

With St Kilda Beach 300m directly across the road, St Clair’s popular cafes and restaurants just a 15-minute beach walk away, the location also provides easy access to key demand drivers: only a 5-10 minute (4 km) drive to Dunedin’s city centre, hospital, university, and Forsyth Barr Stadium.

Great family sized owner's home upstairs and a fantastic location for children young or old, enjoy the beach or Dunedin's largest children's playground 200m away, or simply stroll on the nearby beach each day yourself.

So, change your lifestyle, be your own boss and work as hard as you wish too. But directly enjoy the rewards of your own hard work.
