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.
