2006 Arundel Rakaia Gorge Road, Mayfield, Ashburton

'Panthers Rock'

Sale includes land and building plus stock at valuation. Superior country pub now operating as a cafe', bar and restaurant. The property is located on the north eastern side of the Arundel Rakaia Gorge Road (the Inland Scenic Route) in the rural Mid Canterbury township of Mayfield. Mayfield is a large developing rural area with a growing population.

Panthers Rock enjoys the benefits of catering to locals and many travellers using the Inland Scenic Route. It has maintained number one spot on 'Trip Advisors' ratings for restaurants in the Ashburton district for the past two years.

An outstanding and enviable feature of Panthers Rock is the available space. From the large car park to the outdoor seating area with a secure place for toddler's and children to play in full view of parents. This area is landscaped to enhance the magnificent views of the Southern Alps.The convenience of easy flow between the inside and outside area is excellent, as are the ample open plan internal spaces between the bar, cafe' and restaurant which have rural views to the alps through the large front windows.

Behind the scenes a well-designed commercial kitchen is modern, well equipped and maintained. Adjoining is a large walk-in chiller and an expansive dry storage area. Also a bottle store with a separate cool room, which is very convenient for locals and travellers alike. An adjoining comfortable two bedroom flat is a real bonus and is like the rest of the property, very tidy. In my opinion they are some of the best and well-presented premises of this nature.

An option also exists to purchase the adjoining property on the north-eastern side containing a two bedroom older style home on a 2,436sqm section and zoned residential C. A solid and growing foundation has been laid and the high level of plant, equipment and maintenance will allow the purchaser the luxury of immediately 'operating and concentrating on enhancing, growing and expanding this business.
