Lincoln, South Island

Rare and Lucrative Lease Opportunity

Business Lease Deadline Sale 4pm 6 March 2026 (unless sold prior)

Business Description

The term "rare opportunity" is probably overused these days; however this is one situation where arguably it is truly justified.

Offered to the market for the first time since built, by way of deadline sale, is the Lincoln Motel being the only motel in the township and unsurprisingly ranked #1 hotel on TripAdvisor.

This premium 21-unit property is located in the heart of the village (zoned Town Centre Zone), a short walk to many of the excellent amenities Lincoln has to offer. A recent refurbishment completes the picture of this 2012 post earthquake build, presenting the complex in excellent condition and reducing likely maintenance costs for the new operator in the foreseeable future. A comfortable three-bedroom managers' residence completes the package.

Accommodation provided is an excellent mix of units. 10 studios, 6 one-bedroom & 5 two-bedroom units. The beautifully presented units have all the amenities one would expect in a premium accommodation business.

This is a tremendous business with steady occupancy year-round, great financial performance, yet still potential to grow.

A long-term registered lease at fair market rental, or the Freehold Going Concern (land, buildings and business), are being marketed by way of Deadline Sale by 4pm 6 March 2026 (unless sold prior).

An Information Memorandum is available to download from our website coffeys.co.nz.

Some details of this listing are confidential and can only be disclosed upon completion of a confidentiality agreement, included in the Information Memorandum.
