BUSINESS OVERVIEW
A Rare Heritage and Commercial Investment Opportunity.
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a distinctive historic hotel in the heart of a tranquil West Coast town in the Western Cape. Dating back to 1901, the property was originally built in the Victorian style and transformed during the 1960s. Today, it is recognised for its distinctive mid-century architecture, original period furnishings and longstanding role in the local community.
The hotel offers a diversified hospitality and entertainment operation, incorporating accommodation, a restaurant, main bar, ladies’ bar, liquor shop, function and conference facilities, gambling machines and potential opportunities for commercial letting.
Accommodation comprises 2 self-catering units, 4 standard hotel rooms and 1 family room, with a combined capacity of up to 15 guests. Additional facilities include a fully equipped catering kitchen, versatile function venues accommodating up to 70 conference delegates or 50 dining guests, a historic dining hall, established garden, swimming pool, braai area, laundry, secure parking, five garages and additional storerooms.
The combination of heritage character, established facilities and multiple potential income streams present opportunities to expand accommodation, develop weddings and private functions, attract conferences, promote heritage tourism and strengthen the hotel's regional hospitality offering. Selected storerooms and external buildings may offer further development or rental potential, subject to the necessary approvals.
