FISH EAGLE LODGE ESTABLISHED HOSPITALITY BUSINESS & EXCEPTIONAL INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY R16,990,000 | Welbedacht, Knysna | Business Share Sale

INVEST IN AN ESTABLISHED BUSINESS, NOT JUST A BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY.

An exceptional opportunity to acquire Fish Eagle Lodge, a successful, long-established hospitality business in one of South Africa''s most desirable tourism destinations.

Operating since 1993, Fish Eagle Lodge has welcomed guests from around the world, developing an established international clientele and a recognised reputation in Knysna''s hospitality industry.

Unlike purchasing a property to establish a new guesthouse, this opportunity offers an operational business with over 30 years of trading history, established infrastructure, furnishings and an existing customer base.

THE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY

The owners are offering the business through the sale of the member''s interest in the Close Corporation, rather than selling the property as a standalone asset.

The proposed sale includes the property, established hospitality operation and operational assets, providing an incoming purchaser with the opportunity to take over an existing business.

For investors, hospitality operators or entrepreneurs seeking a lifestyle business on the Garden Route, Fish Eagle Lodge combines established operations, property ownership and future growth potential.

THE PROPERTY & ACCOMMODATION

Set within approximately 11,548 m² of beautifully maintained grounds, Fish Eagle Lodge enjoys an elevated position with sweeping views across the Knysna Lagoon towards the famous Knysna Heads.

The lodge accommodates up to 22 guests, offering en-suite guest rooms, spacious apartments and a separate self-catering cottage.

Features include:

Reception, guest lounge and dining facilities.

Bar and well-equipped kitchen.

Separate manager''s or owner''s accommodation.

Swimming pool overlooking the lagoon.

Beautifully landscaped indigenous gardens.

Borehole and water filtration system.

Four garages and additional guest parking.

Furnished accommodation with distinctive European-inspired finishes.

Its peaceful setting, spectacular views and convenient access to Knysna''s attractions have contributed to its longstanding appeal among local and international visitors.

AN INVESTMENT WITH AN ESTABLISHED FOUNDATION

Fish Eagle Lodge offers more than an attractive property. It represents an opportunity to acquire an established hospitality business with decades of trading history, a recognized identity and an existing customer base.

Whether you''re an experienced hospitality operator, investor or entrepreneur looking for a lifestyle business, the lodge provides an established foundation with opportunities for continued operation and future development.

IMPORTANT SALE INFORMATION

Fish Eagle Lodge is officially zoned Resort Zone, an important consideration for prospective hospitality investors.

The transaction is structured as the sale of the Close Corporation''s member''s interest, incorporating the property, established business operations and operational assets, subject to the final sale agreement and due diligence.

Financial statements and relevant business information are available to suitably qualified, serious prospective purchasers, subject to appropriate confidentiality arrangements.

The current owners would be delighted to meet personally with interested buyers to discuss the business, its trading history, day-to-day operations, established clientele and future opportunities.

This provides prospective purchasers with an opportunity to gain first-hand insight into the operation before making an investment decision.

This is not simply an opportunity to buy a guesthouse. It is an opportunity to acquire an established hospitality business, its property, operating infrastructure and more than 30 years of trading history.
