Buffalo Lodge is an exceptional bed and breakfast lodge on the Coromandel Peninsula
The lodge has been built to the highest quality, evident in this architecturally designed building. It is sympathetically set on a large, elevated site in the secluded native New Zealand bush. The property is in a very secluded hill position, free from traffic noise and ideal for owners who put great importance on tranquility and security.

Every point in the house enjoys expansive views over the Hauraki Gulf, over Coromandel Harbour and Waiheke Island to the Waitakere Ranges, Whangaparaoa Harbour and Tiritiri Lighthouse.

Carefully developed over many years, Buffalo Lodge is an inspiration, with cathedral ceilings, expansive natural timber finish and fresh white walls. Buffalo Lodge was created by world-renowned artists to capture the true beauty of New Zealand while sharing their love of art and exceptional food with their guests.
Through its 20 year journey the Lodge has run successfully as both a luxury retreat and as an intimate restaurant.


Now the owner is looking to pass this exceptional B&B opportunity to new owners who are able to develop and enjoy this business and lifestyle on the Coromandel Peninsula.

SERVICES:
Buffalo Lodge is largely independent, with a 3000 Gallon Water Storage Tank supplied by rainwater and a private water supply. Sewerage is by ecocycle system. As a result council rates are much reduced. Electricity is from the mains and gas for the kitchen is by LPG bottle.

POSSIBILITIES for FUTURE DEVELOPMENT:
This property is currently being operated in high season only, as a superior quality lodge offering accommodation to 3 -4 couples. There is proven demand for a longer season and creative marketing will grow revenue considerably.

This property can still be developed, with the possibility of 4 - 6 additional chalet-type, self-contained units on various, easily accessible sites in the bush. (Resource Consent will be required).


The restaurant is not presently open, but the Resource Consent exists for up to 12 guests. The Restaurant permit and BYO licence are current. Buffalo Lodge deserves another chef to maximize this intimate dining opportunity, including daytime cafe.

Because of its proximity to Auckland (approx. 60 km in a direct line or 2.5 hours driving time), Coromandel has a very promising future as far as tourism investments are concerned. Kawau Cat ferry services Coromandel from Auckland via Waiheke Island. Coromandel also has an airstrip, which can land charter flights to and from Auckland (20 minutes).

ESPECIALLY ATTRACTIVE TO OVERSEAS BUYERS?
Buffalo Lodge is a great opportunity for a combined lifestyle and business and may be especially attractive to migrants under the migrant entrepreneur category, offering the purchase of a business which can grow and create new employment. Plus, there is delightful owner accommodation, a superb lifestyle and a valuable land bank for future development.
