The Fat Duck Restaurant & Bar - Te Anau - Buy a profitable business

VERY PROFITABLE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY 

Opportunities like this do not come along to often.

Here is the chance to purchase an outstanding Restaurant and Bar in Te Anau. Arguably the best available in the area.

Located in a prime highly visible position at the entrance to the town centre just off the Te Anau/Milford Sound Highway.

The Restaurant underwent a substantial refit in 2006 and the quality of the finished design, layout and chattels has been exceptional. The Restaurant is capable of seating up to 70 diners indoors with a further 40 seats available for outdoor dining. There is the ability to section off parts of the dining area to cater for special functions or larger group bookings with the ability to still provide an intimate dining experience for couples.

There is plenty of storage available for Food & Beverage produce and the Kitchen area is large and well layed out, a delight for any Chef and his/her brigade.

There is still the potential to grow this already very profitable business. Operating hours are currently 5 days per week, Wed, Thurs & Fri from midday until 10pm approximately and Sat & Sun from 10am until 10pm approximately. Over the busy Summer Tourist season the venue is open 7 days a week. The vendors were even able to close up for six weeks over the winter allowing them the opportunity to take a well earned break.  

Financially, The Fat Duck Restaurant & Bar is a very good performer with an excellent turnover and bottom line profit.

Te Anau is a town in the South Island of New Zealand. It is on the eastern shore of Lake Te Anau in Fiordland. The 2001 census recorded the town's population as 1,857. The town has a wide range of accommodation, with over 3,000 beds available in summer.

Tourism and farming are the predominant economic activities in the area. Lying as it does at the borders of Fiordland National Park, it is the gateway to a wilderness area famed for tramping and spectacular scenery. Many species of bird life are also found locally, notably the endangered Takahe which can be found at the Fiordland Wildlife Park.

Te Anau is connected by highway with Invercargill to the southeast, Queenstown to the northeast, Gore to the east, and Manapouri to the south. Te Anau is the Start of the Milford Road the Highway to Milford Sound, which lies 120 kilometres to the north.
 
Lake Te Anau is in the southwestern corner of the South Island of New Zealand. Its name was originally Te Ana-au, Maori for 'The cave of swirling water'. The lake covers an area of 344 km², making it the second-largest lake in New Zealand (after Lake Taupo) and the largest in the South Island.

The main body of the lake runs north-south, and is 65 km in length. Three large fiords form arms to the lake on its western flank: North Fiord, Middle Fiord and South Fiord. Several small islands lie in the entrance to Middle Fiord, which forks partway along its length into northwest and southwest arms. The lake lies at an altitude of 210 m, and since its maximum depth is 417 m much of its bed lies below sea level.

Several rivers feed the lake, of which the most important is the Eglinton River, which joins the lake from the east, opposite the entrance to North Fiord. The outflow is the Waiau River, which flows south for several kilometres into Lake Manapouri. The town of Te Anau lies at the south-eastern corner of the lake, close to the outflow.

Most of the lake is within Fiordland National Park and the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage site. Other than the Te Anau township, the only human habitation close to the lake is the farming settlement of Te Anau Downs, close to the mouth of the Eglinton River. Between these two settlements the land is rolling hill country, but elsewhere the land is mountainous, especially along its western shore, where the Kepler and Murchison Mountains rise 1,400 m above the surface of the lake.

Two New Zealand Great Walks start at the lake. The Milford Track starts at the northern tip of the lake and the Kepler Track starts and ends at the south tip of the lake at the Waiau River.
