Invercargill Central, South Island
Prime FHGC Property - Quality Motel - 750m to CBD
Land, Buildings and Business $3,199,000
Business Description
A rare opportunity to purchase a freehold going concern motel, performing strongly and currently trading very well in Invercargill's accommodation sector.
Situated on a wide 2,024sqm (more or less) site, very close to the CBD and other useful facilities for guests, the location drives year‑round guest demand. An attractive complex, freshly painted in 2025, the striking colour makes the motel "pop" attracting visitors travelling SHW1.
Birchwood Manor Motel could be a smart investment, with the likes of the DataGrid project in Invercargill, now fully consented. $5billon when fully developed, with major economic and digital implications for Southland. The construction phase will see at least 1200 working on site.
A good mixture of 15 units including 5 studios, 8 one-bedroom and 2 two-bedroom apartments. Two studios and two one-bedroom apartments also have their own spa bath. A large cross section of motel guests can be accommodated ranging from individuals, families and large groups.
The quality of the rooms will quickly impress you and an astute purchaser will appreciate the $450,000 plus spent on renovations in the years leading up to going to market.
Separate owner's residence has 3-bedrooms, 2-bathrooms, a generous sized living/dining area flowing on from the kitchen and a large lounge. With its own private garden and courtyard area, it all adds lifestyle appeal.
