Situated on DOC Land, this cafe and visitors centre offers so much, you own the cafe building and lease the land and DOC house. The Cafe and Visitor Centre is high on the hill and offers stunning view as far as the eye can see, a covered wrap around deck and large panoramic windows allow for both indoor and outdoor dining. Access to this natural wonderland runs right past the Cafe and this helps attract customers. No advertising money has been spent in years and the turnover still increases.  

Although this business is seasonal, the current owners run the operation 365 days a year, with staffing utilized only in the busy times. Evening Dining has never really been pushed and this could be a great opportunity for a foodie focused couple.

The 4 bedroom house is also located on the 2.24 hectares of leased land is is positioned at the bottom of the hill almost on the water's edge. The configuration includes 2 double bedrooms, 2 single rooms, open plan lounge and dining room, sunroom, kitchen and 2 bathrooms.

The unique Department of Conservation lease allows for seasonal fluctuations as it is based on monthly turnover. An opportunity also now exists for a new lease to be negotiated at time of purchase or shortly thereafter.

If you're looking for something to escape the run of the mill existence then this is a must view business, and 'hey' you can't really work and live any further north in the south island.

Farewell spit is listed on the AA's list of 101 places a Kiwi should go and you're further north than Wellington.

Situated at the extreme northern tip of the South Island, Farewell Spit stretches more than 30 kilometres into the Tasman Sea and is an area of outstanding natural beauty. The Maori name for the spit is Onetahua, meaning 'heaped up sand'.

Farewell Spit has been a bird sanctuary since the 1930s and provides a home for over 90 bird species. Bar tailed godwits, knots, curlews, whimbrels and turnstones fly around 12,000 kilometres every northern hemisphere autumn to spend the summer here in the south. The spit also has a gannet colony.

To guide passing ships, Farewell Spit's first lighthouse was built in 1869. In the early years the lighthouse site had no vegetation and windblown sand was an ongoing problem for the keepers. Then one clever keeper organised for small loads of soil to be delivered with the mail. He planted a windbreak of macrocarpa pines which are still there to this day. The pines protect the station from the shifting sands and provide a daylight landmark for passing ships.

The best way to experience the spit is on a 4WD safari. You'll find tour operators in nearby Collingwood.
