Nelson Lodge / Motel / Backpackers - 'Footprints by the Sea' 31 Beac

The complex has a diverse range or accommodation, from large dorm through to pleasantly appointed spacious apartments. It is licensed for 40 beds and is marketed as a motel - lodge - backpackers. It is very popular with visiting sports teams due to its grandstand like proximity to the Tahunanui Sports Grounds and just a mere 300m stroll across the fields to the beach.

Superbly located accommodation at Tahunanui Beach, Nelson City's swimming beach and hot spot with retail shops, restaurants, McDonalds, beachside amusements, a large recently developed apartment complex, extensive motel precinct and surrounding residential housing.

It is immediately adjacent to a large Wakatu Incorporation development site which will become a medium sized suburban service centre in the near future. This may well become the commercial hub of Tahunanui and is right next door.

There is a comfortable 2 or 3 bedroom owner/managers accommodation, complete with private courtyard. The property and chattels are all in excellent condition.

The complex has the capacity to generate a significant income, while readily operated by one person. It is an ideal opportunity for a couple, with one partner working off the property while the other runs the complex, living cheap, generating an income and benefiting from the capital gain that this property will surely attract as the surrounding area continues to develop.

The current owners have recently installed a solar water heating system which is projected to reduce electricity costs by approximately $6000 per year.

The business maintains an excellent website with online booking facility at www.footprints.co.nz

The area is serviced by State Highway 60, the scenic one of only two major routes running south out of Nelson city centre.
