Forest Lodge is a unique business and lifestyle opportunity in the ever popular tourist town of Pemberton.
Due to a change in family circumstances you can acquire a unique 13 acre resort located around a large private lake amongst the famous giant karri trees of Pemberton, just two kilometres out of the town. The lake is stocked with marron and trout and an island gazebo harks back to the grace and tranquillity of yesteryear. At the Forest Lodge you can truly live the dream!
Forest Lodge is TripAdvisor’s no. 1 Hotel stay in Pemberton. Within a traditional exterior first class facilities and buildings provide a wide range of accommodation for today’s tourist and traveller including: 4 guest rooms, 4 studio apartments, 4 chalets, 3 bedroom homestead and separate managers accommodation. All accommodation takes advantage of the mature gardens and tranquil setting and of course the wonderful bird life. Good dcor and mod cons such as Wifi and flat screen tvs complete the picture.
The resort has been operated by a husband and wife team with local staff as a bed and breakfast centre for the past few years. During this time it has been renovated and the business extended to include weddings and other functions. There is an opportunity for the new owner to undertake further rewarding development of both the Resort and the business with the planned stage two opening of the restaurant and bar ready to go. The potential for the business to grow in this area is phenomenal with the opportunity to ride on the back of the recently formed Southern Forests Food council and truffles which are going gangbusters in our area (just google it to find out more). Income from the accommodation side of the business has grown by 20% on last year’s figures. There are very few restaurants open at night here in Pemberton so if you can provide food and drink on site you are bound to improve the bottom line. With three successive years of growth in turnover and occupancy the potential here is really outstanding. The present owner is regrettably not in a position to complete his vision for this wonderful property, but you are!
