Freehold Tavern & Motels Business For Sale
Renwick, Blenheim, New Zealand
The perfect location to enjoy the best of Marlborough
Blenheim is the commercial heart of Marlborough, a New World wine region that is internationally famous for producing Sauvignon Blanc.
Today, the Marlborough wine district offers a wide selection of superb wines of all types. Wine tours and wine trails bring a continuing stream of local and international visitors all through the year. Each summer, the Marlborough Wine Festival also brings thousands of visitors to taste the wines of the region, and to indulge in the culinary delights of local chefs.
Renwick, a satellite suburb of Blenheim, is just 4 minutes from the town’s airport and is the hub of the Marlborough wine region. The Woodbourne Tavern in Renwick has been providing hospitality and gaming services to locals and vineyard workers for many years. The Tavern is also popular with tourists travelling to and from Nelson on State Highway 6. Recently, the Tavern has added motel accommodation to its business mix because many visitors come to Renwick for guided wine and food tours, wine cycle tours, and even self-drive exploration tours.
Woodbourne Tavern is a long established business with a proven income stream. It has come on to the market (freehold or leasehold options) because the owners have spent many years in the hospitality trade and now wish to retire.
Woodbourne Tavern is presented in an immaculate condition and would suit new owners who want to step up to their own freehold business. A Marketing Services Agreement with Lion Breweries is available to the new owners and the Motels continue to grow in popularity, and profitability.
