RESTAURANT Business For Sale
Nelson New Zealand
Always something different at The Playhouse
The Playhouse restaurant offers a unique opportunity to anyone with desire to run a business coupled with a stunning lifstyle. Located just outside Nelson in one of the most beautiful and sunny areas of NZ, the business sits on 2 hectares (4 acres) of stunning countryside. The business is offered for sale as a going concern at $500,000. The freehold property including the restaurant building and land is also offered for sale by negotiation.
Set up in 2007 the Playhouse is open four days a week. This has been a ‘lifestyle” choice by the current owners, so there is potential to increase the business working week if a higher revenue is required. Turnover for first year in business in excess of $1.2 million with huge potential to expand on an enviable local reputation. The Playhouse Restaurant operates as a daytime cafe with seating for up to 100 guests in the extensive gardens surrounding the lake - and in the evening as a restaurant with seating for 85-90 guests who book for a unique dining experience. The business is well supported by the local community and does not rely on tourists for its income, although summer brings the tourists which lift the numbers in the restaurant. It is a popular venue for weddings, celebrations and corporate functions. This is a wonderful opportunity to take a business to the next level. It requires an enthusiastic owner to realise its full potential. For full details of what the Playhouse has to offer and for further information contact: rob@playhousecafe.co.nz The Playhouse is set in a rural location. It's a "destination" venue, 10mins from Richmond and 25mins from Nelson city. 
A 2 bedroom flat is included in the sale and is located to the rear of the main building. Suitable for owner accommodation or staff accommodation. The Playhouse restaurant currently provides entertainment for it's dinners on Fri & Sat evenings. Ranging from comedy nights to theatre productions. This could be continued or not, depending on the new owners requirements. 2009 has been a difficult year for restaurants with the recession taking hold and numbers have been down for most businesses. The outlook is very favorable though for the summer and we have extensive bookings running into November & December for company functions. The current owners have opted (as a lifstyle choice) to open only 4 days a week. There is therefore huge potential for an enthusiastic buyer to increase the opening hours and take the business up to the next level. The Playhouse has a perfect setting for wedding receptions and corporate functions. The first year has proved remarkably popular with brides and the new owner could build on this reputation with the right promotional campaign. The grounds are extensive and an opportunity to provide further services to customers is available - Childrens Playground and Minature Golf course for example.

About Nelson
| | | Nelson New Zealand
Nelson, the geographical centre of New Zealand, is a region renowned for warm sunshine, fine beaches, lakes, mountains and native forests. The City of Nelson is large enough to offer all the services and amenities of a large city yet is small enough to be intimate, welcoming and friendly. It is New Zealand's largest fishing port and the gateway to a major forestry and horticulture industry. Add to this the attraction of fine foods, superb wines, an innovative craft industry, spectacular scenery and traditional "Kiwi" hospitality and you can understand why Nelson is a place to which holiday makers flock all year round. The journey from the city of Nelson into the western region of Golden Bay and the Abel Tasman National Park is truly spectacular. Here the beautiful coastline is famous for clear blue waters and pristine golden sand beaches. The Abel Tasman national Park can be explored by guided walks, sea kayak, cruise boat, water taxi or freedom walking - you will experience penguins, seals, dolphins and native birds all set in lush native forest that has a semi tropical appearance.
Don't forget to visit the crystal clear Waikoropupu (Pupu) Springs, or the 360 metres deep Harwoods Hole (deepest in New Zealand) or explore the intricate network of limestone caves in this area. Farther west is the unique Farewell Spit. Over 100 species of birds visit this area each year, some from as far afield as the Artic lands of the northern hemisphere - four wheel safaris into this area are becoming increasingly popular. Inland Nelson is a wonderland of water adventure, including kayaking, rafting, boating and for those who prefer fishing, the Nelson Lakes area provides some of the best trout fishing in the world. And for those who enjoy their water as snow, skiing and even ice skating make the Nelson Lakes a popular winter destination as well. The area is well served by some exquisite luxury lodges hidden away among mountains, lakes and exotic settings of native bush.
Because of its mild climate, Nelson is a region of great diversity, a microcosm of New Zealand in one district. There is extensive horticulture, including vineyard, fruit and the more traditional farming scenery of sheep and cattle that New Zealand is famous for. The people of Nelson are well known for being skilled and innovative artisans, especially in pottery, glass making, bone carving, knitting, basket making and jewellery. Until recently Nelson was home to the internationally acclaimed International Wearable Art Awards - this is a celebration of New Zealand and International creativity when artisans produce and wear their own wearable art creations. Have a look at some of the creations from the 8th International Wearable Art Awards in 1996. Local restaurants can tempt the most discerning palate with their superb seafood including: mussels, scallops, oysters, seasonal whitebait, geoduck and many fish varieties. The Taste Nelson festival is held each year to celebrate these culinary delights. Nelson, blessed by nature as a destination which offers almost everything, is not to be missed in any tour of New Zealand. The region is easily accessible being one and half hours drive from Picton, the gateway to the South Island via Cook Strait, or 5 hours drive from Canterbury and is served by regular flights from all over New Zealand |
