Established Bed & Breakfast and & Thriving Hospitality Business with 7 Luxury Guest Suites & Private 3-Bedroom Owner’s Residence

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a respected and fully operational guest house in one of Durban North’s most sought-after locations. Successfully owner-operated for approximately 16 years, the business has earned an outstanding reputation for genuine hospitality, loyal returning guests and consistent occupancy throughout the year.

The business has historically generated an annual turnover approaching R1 million, presenting a genuine turnkey investment with an established customer base, proven trading history and exceptional potential for continued success.

After 16 rewarding years of welcoming guests and creating lasting memories, the owners have decided that the time has come to retire and pass this thriving hospitality business on to its next custodian. For the discerning buyer, this is a rare opportunity to acquire not only an exceptional property, but also a flourishing, well-established business with a trusted reputation built over many years of dedicated service and genuine hospitality.

Perfectly positioned in the heart of Durban North, the property enjoys convenient access to a wide range of amenities including Virginia Airport, major shopping centres, popular restaurants and cafés, excellent medical facilities, pristine beaches, business hubs and some of the area’s most respected schools, including Northwood School. These nearby amenities continue to support strong guest demand throughout the year, particularly during school sporting events, registrations, business travel and holiday periods.

ESTABLISHED BUSINESS INCLUDED:

Beyond the property itself, the sale includes an established hospitality business complete with its trading name, website, domain name, online booking platforms, social media presence, business telephone number, business email address and operational goodwill. Existing confirmed bookings, established supplier relationships and the comprehensive operational infrastructure are also included, allowing the incoming owner to continue trading seamlessly from the date of transfer.

Whether the purchaser chooses to continue operating under the established brand or introduce a new identity in the future, they will benefit from acquiring a business that is already recognised within the market, eliminating many of the challenges associated with starting a new hospitality venture from the ground up.

PRIVATE OWNER'S RESIDENCE

The owner’s residence offers the perfect balance between comfortable family living and the practical requirements of operating a successful guest house.

Designed around an inviting open-plan layout, the home seamlessly combines the lounge, dining area and entertainment space, complete with a stylish bar and pool table. This welcoming area is enjoyed by both the owners and guests, creating a warm and relaxed atmosphere ideal for social gatherings and entertaining.

The fully fitted kitchen combines timeless style with everyday practicality, featuring quality oak cabinetry, granite countertops, a breakfast nook, gas stove and double-door refrigerator.

The ground floor accommodates two generously sized bedrooms with built-in cupboards, one enjoying an en-suite bathroom, while the second is served by a separate bathroom with a shower.

Upstairs, the spacious main bedroom serves as a private retreat, offering a full en-suite bathroom complete with both a bath and shower. The bedroom opens onto a private balcony where tranquil sea views can be enjoyed, while a dedicated home office positioned alongside the suite provides an ideal space for managing the business or working remotely.

GUEST ACCOMMODATION

At the heart of this successful guest house are seven welcoming en-suite guest rooms, each thoughtfully furnished to provide visitors with a comfortable and memorable stay.

Six guest rooms are fitted with modern en-suite bathrooms featuring showers, while the honeymoon suite offers the added luxury of a bathtub, creating the perfect setting for couples celebrating a special occasion.

Three guest rooms are integrated into the main residence, each with its own private entrance. This thoughtful design allows guests and owners to enjoy complete independence, ensuring both can come and go without disrupting one another’s privacy.

Upstairs, one guest room opens onto a balcony shared with the owner’s office, while two additional guest rooms enjoy access to their own shared balcony overlooking the surrounding area.

A dedicated guest microwave room provides added convenience, allowing guests to warm meals at any time without needing access to the owner’s kitchen, further enhancing privacy and independence for both owners and guests.

OUTDOOR LIVING LIFESTYLE

The beautifully landscaped gardens, mature greenery and colourful seasonal flowers create a peaceful setting that guests immediately appreciate.

The outdoor entertainment area centres around a sparkling swimming pool with comfortable seating, providing the perfect space to relax, unwind and enjoy Durban’s warm climate.

Ample paved parking, a double automated garage and generous outdoor space comfortably accommodate both owners and guests.

OPERATIONAL FACILITIES

Supporting the day-to-day operation of the business are a dedicated laundry room, staff changing room and separate one-bedroom staff accommodation complete with an en-suite bathroom.

The property is further enhanced by Wi-Fi throughout, a 4,750-litre JoJo water tank and three-phase electricity, ensuring reliable and efficient day-to-day operation.

SECURITY

The property offers peace of mind with perimeter walling, electric fencing, an automated entrance gate and CCTV surveillance.

INCLUDED IN THE SALE

A comprehensive inventory of furniture, appliances and operational equipment is included in the sale, allowing the business to continue operating with minimal interruption. The purchaser will acquire far more than a beautifully maintained property - they will step into an established hospitality business with a recognised brand, proven trading history, operational systems and valuable goodwill already in place.

Some properties offer accommodation. Others offer opportunity. This offering delivers both - a beautifully maintained guest house and a well-established hospitality business with years of goodwill, an established brand and the infrastructure to continue operating from day one. It is an opportunity to take ownership of something that has already proven its success while shaping its future for years to come.
