Rare and Lucrative FHGC Opportunity

Selwyn
Reference: CA933
Motel / Motor Lodge
Land, Buildings and Business Deadline Sale 4pm 6 March 2026 (unless sold prior)

The term "rare opportunity" is probably overused these days; however this is one situation where arguably it is truly justified.

Offered to the market for the first time since built, by way of deadline sale, is the Lincoln Motel being the only motel in the township and unsurprisingly ranked #1 hotel on TripAdvisor.

This premium 21-unit property is located in the heart of the village (zoned Town Centre Zone), a short walk to many of the excellent amenities Lincoln has to offer. A recent refurbishment completes the picture of this 2012 post earthquake build, presenting the complex in excellent condition and reducing likely maintenance costs for the new operator in the foreseeable future. A comfortable three-bedroom managers' residence completes the package.

Accommodation provided is an excellent mix of units. 10 studios, 6 one-bedroom & 5 two-bedroom units. The beautifully presented units have all the amenities one would expect in a premium accommodation business.

This is a tremendous business with steady occupancy year-round, great financial performance, yet still potential to grow.

The Freehold Going Concern (land, buildings and business), or the business alone by way of long-term registered lease, are being marketed by way of Deadline Sale by 4pm 6 March 2026 (unless sold prior).

Kelvyn Coffey

Kelvyn Coffey has specialised exclusively in the sale of commercial accommodation businesses since 1984, with the forming of a company then known as South Island Motel Brokers Ltd. The business enjoyed success in the industry throughout the 1980's, with expansion of its activities into hotel brokerage (pubs and taverns) and later general business brokerage.

Having sold his interests in that agency, (which still operates today under a different name) he formed this company in 1995. The reason being that he wished to re-focus on specialising exclusively in travellers’ accommodation businesses. In 1996, he was appointed as the South Island consultant to the Motel Association of New Zealand.

For many years, he provided advice and information to Motel Association of New Zealand members as part of the benefit of their membership. MANZ merged with Hospitality New Zealand in 2015. HNZ continues to receive many questions on matters relating to leases, rentals, market trends etc., and he is happy to receive and assist with a steady number of enquiries from the team at HNZ.

In 2024 the Canterbury branch of the Accommodation Sector for Hospitality New Zealand nominated Kelvyn for the Lynn Braddock Memorial Trophy and he was humbled to receive this award at the National Convention in recognition of his contributions to the branch and the industry.

Kelvyn has also sat on the Industry Advisory Group to the Real Estate Authority for Business Brokerage for the maximum qualifying statutory period. The REA is the government body controlling and regulating the Real Estate Industry. They seek advice and feedback from the group, which meets with the authority twice yearly, and consults when required.

From small beginnings in the South Island in 1984, (in those days no one had heard of a specialist “motel broker”), Kelvyn is proud to now run a nationwide company with a brand that is well recognised and respected within the industry throughout New Zealand. He appreciates his good fortune in having been able to build a team of dedicated and professional brokers with support crew second to none.

Kelvyn has seen the economic highs and lows, (a.k.a. a few rodeos), and is happy to share his experience with anyone contemplating entering the business. He lives in Christchurch, happily married to Colleen since 1988, with four (now adult) children. Hobbies include regular brisk walks, snowboarding, gardening, photography, reading and hi-fi.
