ESTABLISHED LUXURY GUESTHOUSE & WEDDING VENUE FOR SALE
A rare turnkey hospitality investment in one of Johannesburg''s most sought-after residential nodes.
This guest house in Ferndale is a 4-star graded, fully operational luxury guesthouse and events venue with an established brand, loyal clientele, and a second income producing property consisting of four fully tenanted cottages with dedicated parking offered together as a complete hospitality and residential investment portfolio.
With no liabilities attached to either property, a strong borehole, solar backup, and a professional management team already in place, this is a genuine going-concern acquisition for an owner-operator or investor.
