Description:

  • A standard Parkmore home on 991m2 was converted into a B&B a decade ago, it is now a thriving business with seven (7) bedrooms, 4 Star grading and is established in the Sandton area.

  • Set a beautiful garden, the house has seven bedrooms en suite, a small study, open plan kitchen dining room and staff quarters.
  • The business has been established for over a decade.

Background information:

  • The Sellers brought the property in mid 2007 and have made some significant improvements over the past 2 years. They have invested by changing the décor, replaced the soft (linen, curtains, towels) and hard (flat screen TV’s, DSTV decoders) items.
  • The lodge has thus maintained a very high level of standards and has maintained its status as an upmarket 4 Star establishment.
  • The property is well looked after, neat, clean and attracts business people, and upmarket guests for 2 or 3 night stays in the week.

Market information:

  • The Lodge has many ‘repeat’ and longer term guests who generally stay between Monday and Thursday for between 2-3 nights.
  • They generally get picked up and dropped off by colleagues or friends, and occasionally have ‘hired’ cars.

  • During the day time, there is little or no movement.
  • Typical holiday periods are quiet, April, 2nd half of Dec and 1st half of Jan
