Business Description

The Merimbula Sapphire Motel presents a rare leasehold opportunity in the heart of one of NSW's premier coastal destinations. This well-maintained 30-room property benefits from consistent year-round demand driven by Merimbula's thriving tourism sector and proximity to the airport, which services regular flights to Melbourne and Sydney. Currently operated under management, the business offers immediate upside potential for an owner-operator to enhance profitability whilst reducing operational expenses through direct involvement.

With an exceptional 38 years remaining on the lease (a five-year term from December 2023, plus seven additional five-year options), this investment offers outstanding security and long-term growth potential. Recent capital improvements, including 30kW solar panels, upgraded air-conditioning, new laundry facilities, and modern hot water systems, ensure operational efficiency and reduced running costs. The property's unique advantage lies in its fully equipped commercial kitchen and restaurant space, currently closed but ready to reopen as a full-service operation or sublease with landlord approval, creating an additional revenue stream whilst enhancing guest experience. For operators seeking a solid, well-located business with proven demand and genuine value-add opportunities, contact ResortBrokers today to arrange a confidential inspection.
