Turnkey luxury bush lodge and events venue on the block
● A luxury retreat in the heart of Mpumalanga’s Bushveld, accommodating leisure and business travellers, will go under Park Village Auctions’ (PVA) hammer on November 14.
“The lodge undoubtedly presents an excellent business opportunity,” says PVA’s Clive Lazarus, commenting on the property’s impressive service bouquet and location, appealing to all manner of guests and encouraging occupancy year-round.
Operating as Ebundu Lodge and located on the R40 between Mbombela (Nelspruit) and White River, the property compromises 107 en suite guest bedrooms, six conference facilities for up to 700 people collectively, banqueting facilities, an entertainment boma, a wedding chapel, a restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, a “world-class” spa, two outdoor pools, mini golf and a fully equipped laundry.
Nearby attractions and amenities include the Lowveld National Botanical Garden, Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport and the White River Crossing shopping mall. The Kruger Park’s Numbi Gate is 40km away.
The sale, comprising the property and its entire contents as a turnkey operation, falls under the auspices of PVA’s business rescue division, which specialises in selling businesses experiencing difficulties.
Lazarus says most businesses the auction house sells under this banner simply need a capital injection or restructuring to continue operating and, therefore, represent an excellent opportunity for investors.
“Pent-up travel desires post-Covid-19 have seen inbound travel steadily increase this year.
“Local travel has also seen an uptick despite increasing costs, as businesses, in particular, seek to rebuild company culture and attract top talent.
“The call of the nearby Kruger Park and convenience of a three-and-a-halfhour drive from Johannesburg to White River along a spectacular route make the lodge an ideal holiday, teambuilding and conference destination.”
Viewing will be held daily from November 6 to 10 between 9am and 3pm.
The auction takes place at 11am via live webcast.
