Teschemakers Resort in North Otago offers a wonderful opportunity to have a business operation that requires attractive accommodation, spacious conference and meeting rooms within pleasant surroundings and a tranquil setting.
The property has an immediate appeal due to the character buildings and serene setting. Situated 109 kilometres north of Dunedin and 13 kilometres south of Oamaru, it is close to the beach and village of Kakanui.
Formerly a Catholic girls' boarding school the building has been completely renovated to provide for like-new facilities. It is spacious, tastefully decorated and equipped to house many guests in a manor type setting.
It is currently operating as Teschemakers Resort, a business that provides for traveller's accommodation, a wedding venue and a conference centre. Equally, the serenity and luxury accommodation facilities could be attractive to an organisation looking for that special environment to operate their business. Other uses might be health and wellbeing, education related, aged care, etc.
The existing building contains 18 guest rooms (studio and two bedroom) together with meeting rooms, full commercial kitchen and large dining room.
Harking back to its former days as a convent school there is a delightful, ornate standalone Chapel featuring stained glass windows, marble altar, a rose window and flying buttresses. This part of the building enjoys a Category B designation within the WDC district plan.
There are land use and building consents and plans to redevelop a former dormitory building into a further 24 ensuited studio guest rooms. The consent allows for 130 guests to be accommodated on site.
This property is quite unique in what it offers in terms of land, infrastructure and setting. It has presence, character, charm, potential and utility.
The property is to be sold as a going concern.
