Amazing coastal property opportunity in East Cape

Lottin Point Motel/Lodge presents a rare opportunity to secure an asset with both a strong hospitality legacy and a genuine clean slate future. Operating successfully for many years before closing in mid 2025 for refurbishment, the property had established itself as a recognised and well regarded accommodation option for travellers.

Historically, the property enjoyed loyal repeat visitation and strong word of mouth, particularly from domestic travellers and recreational fishing enthusiasts. Lottin Point has long been considered a premier fishing destination, attracting returning guests who value its coastal proximity, easy access to fishing grounds, and relaxed, practical accommodation offering. The property on sale is over 2 hours away from Whakatane and it's longstanding popularity provides a solid foundation for future demand and growth.

A new owner has the opportunity to combine the property's established reputation with modern operational practices. Updated branding, refreshed customer experience, contemporary pricing, and today's digital distribution channels can all be implemented without the constraints of legacy staffing, systems, or contracts; allowing for a streamlined and strategic relaunch.

Importantly, Lottin Point offers exceptional flexibility. With substantial buildings and a striking coastal setting, the property is a true blank canvas suitable for a wide range of uses, including a lodge, visitor accommodation, education facility, retreat or meeting venue, a private residential escape or completely redeveloped to suit the owner.

This is a chance to acquire an asset with history, a loyal customer base, and clear potential - ready for the next owner to shape its future success.
