Harihari, South Island

Boutique Luxury Lodge FHGC

Land, Buildings and Business $899,000 incl. GST

Business Description

Perfectly positioned halfway between Hokitika and Franz Josef, this gorgeous boutique lodge sits right on the busy, scenic tourist route to the West Coast glaciers. Set on a beautifully landscaped and manicured one-hectare section, the lodge offers guests a peaceful, welcoming retreat from the moment they arrive—a fact reflected in the property's glowing guest reviews.

The lodge features 3 uniquely styled, luxurious suites, sleeping up to 8 guests. Each features its own private lounge area, high-end tiled bathrooms, heated towel rails and anti-fog mirrors.

For the hosts, there is a comfortable, private two-bedroom residence, with its own separate entrance it allows for an easy balance between hosting duties & personal downtime.

Unlike most commercial sales where the price is GST-exclusive, this property is offered GST inclusive. This makes it incredibly straightforward for buyers who might wish to purchase the property as a luxury private home, without facing a GST bill. The sale price also includes an extensive inventory of high-quality chattels to ensure a seamless transition for the new owner.

Harihari is far more than just a quick pitstop on the highway. It's a warm, welcoming West Coast hub servicing a thriving local dairy farming community on the lush Wanganui River Flats.

With excellent hunting, fishing, and tramping nearby, plus a friendly local hotel, general store, and cafes, Harihari offers a quintessential West Coast lifestyle.
