Lake Roxburgh Lodge – Flexible purchase options

Proven Income, Growth Upside & Strategic Opportunity

Set in a spectacular riverside location, Lake Roxburgh Lodge presents a compelling opportunity combining an established accommodation business, consistent revenue growth, and significant future upside.

Positioned within Central Otago and offering a unique blend of lodge accommodation, dining facilities, and group capacity, the property appeals equally as a lifestyle investment or a strategic commercial play.

Business Highlights – Proven & Growing Revenue

The business continues to demonstrate strong forward momentum:

• FY2025/26 revenue tracking in the $270,000–$280,000 range

• Current season forecast of approximately $307,000, including confirmed bookings

• Representing ~15% growth year-on-year and continued upward trend on prior years

This performance reflects both improving occupancy and increasing demand for regional accommodation experiences.

Flexible Purchase Options

To suit a wider range of buyers, multiple acquisition pathways are available:

• Freehold Going Concern (land, buildings & business)

• Business-only option available supported by a new lease structure

• Potential for investor ownership of the freehold with an operating tenant

This flexibility significantly broadens the appeal to both owner-operators and investors.

Accommodation & Facilities

• 11 guest units accommodating up to approximately 20 guests

• On-site dining and commercial kitchen facilities

• Established reputation for group stays, events, and hosted experiences

• Well suited to both short-stay guests and longer-term occupancy

The existing configuration provides immediate income with scope to further optimise occupancy and yield.

Located within proximity to Lake Onslow, the lodge is well positioned to benefit from potential future demand associated with the proposed Clutha Pumped Hydro Project.

Key considerations include:

• The project has entered the fast-track consenting process (March 2026)

• Large-scale infrastructure developments typically require early-stage accommodation planning

• The lodge’s layout and capacity make it highly suitable for contractor accommodation and group bookings

A rare opportunity combining income, flexibility, and future positioning, two potential options for purchase:

• A high-quality scenic lodge offering an attractive Central Otago lifestyle, with growing income and manageable scale.

• A well-configured accommodation asset with the potential to capitalise on infrastructure-led demand and contracted occupancy.

With proven trading performance, forecast growth, flexible ownership structures, and genuine strategic upside, Lake Roxburgh Lodge represents a rare opportunity to secure both income and future potential in one of Central Otago’s most scenic locations.
