16 bed hotel for sale

9 Brighton Drive, Summerstrand, Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha), Eastern Cape, South Africa

Set along one of Summerstrand's most desirable avenues, this sublime coastal estate offers a rare duality: A successful 12 suite guest lodge and an exquisite private home. Both a sanctuary and a strategic investment, it's a place where refined living and income‐generating potential coexist in perfect harmony.

The double storey home is the epitome of elegance, evident from the moment you step into the entrance hall. Overlooking the vast open plan living area with its burnished wooden flooring and chandeliers, and with a graceful wrought iron staircase to the left, it's the place where keys are dropped and the entertainment flow begins. From there, the home opens into various clearly designated yet linked open plan living areas. These include a banquet size dining room, a formal lounge, a second lounge with a built in braai and stacker doors to the garden, and a Jacuzzi room with garden access. Beyond lies the ultimate patio: Thatched and tiled with a brick braai, it's just steps away from the family swimming pool. On the opposite side, connected by a centre island with barstool seating, is a sophisticated dark wood and honey coloured granite kitchen. Equipped with high end gas and electric appliances, and a separate scullery / laundry, it invites conversations with the chef. The first floor hosts the four family bedrooms and beautiful bathrooms. As large as a ballroom, the main bedroom with its walk in closet and luxurious en suite bathroom, has doors to the balcony which looks out over the manicured garden. Perfect for enjoying coffee and sunrises or sundowners and sunsets, it rounds off the hotel like ambience of this haven for parents. Throughout the home the palette is warm, the textures layered, and the light - both natural and recessed - showcases its harmonious footprint and intricate attention to detail.

And then there's the lodge, with its twelve beautifully appointed suites five standard rooms, three luxury rooms, a family suite, and a charming cottage. Each one blends modern conveniences with unparalleled comfort: Flat‐screen televisions, mini‐fridges, contemporary décor, and select rooms opening onto patios or balconies with peaceful garden views. Guest amenities include a children's play area, billiards and table tennis, a pool, an on‐site restaurant serving American‐style favourites with South African flair, and a state of the art conference venue for business events. Fully walled with pedestrian and vehicle gates on remote, and on site parking, the property is within walking distance of the beach. It's also close to the world famous Boardwalk Shopping and Entertainment Centre with its high‐end boutiques, celebrated restaurants, vibrant nightlife, and casino, and an easy drive to Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport for local and international travellers.

For the discerning buyer, this property represents more than a home or a hospitality venture. It is a multifaceted investment.
