442 m² Retail Space in Howick

Previously operating as a successful restaurant at 118 Main Street, the potential of this heritage building is boundless. With the right vision and investment, it could be transformed into a thriving culinary haven, a bed and breakfast or even a cultural centre becoming a focal point for both locals and tourists alike.

Built in 1901 by a blacksmith when Howick was a great water source for passing travellers and benefitted from passing trade, the building now contains an Industrial kitchen space, a walk in fridge, a covered verandah and pizza oven, office space, several large areas that were once dining spaces, three guest loos, a deck, a children's play area and a car park that can accommodate 30 cars.

This building has been recognized by The KwaZulu-Natal provincial heritage conservation agency, Amafa Heritage KwaZulu Natali, which means it is a legally protected building that is over 60 years of age. Development or restoration can be undertaken with permission and for the discerning and visionary entrepreneur, this heritage building is more than a real estate opportunity. Its restoration would not only preserve a piece of local heritage, it could also become a thriving commercial business which would contribute to the entire area.
