Description
A true hidden gem in the mid-KZN South Coast.
The Laughing Forest resort in the small residential area of Elysium is situated between Scottburgh and Port Shepstone and offers a host of income-generating options from self-catering accommodation, a magnificent wedding venue, zoned as a caravan resort and is literally on the beach with just the unused railway line and Admiralty land adjacent to it. The Laughing Forest is close to most amenities and regular tourist activities on the South Coast and has over many years gained a reputation as a family-orientated resort, as well as for beach weddings. Elysium is easily accessible and has pristine beaches that add to its privacy and tranquillity.
With an extensive infrastructure offering an open plan family home +- 300m2 and nestled neatly in coastal dune forest, seven B&B cabins with bathrooms en-suite with a small communal kitchen per two units. There are also five comfortable self-catering cabins that blends perfectly into the landscape and maximise the experience of the beach and forest setting. The property boasts with two chapels, an industrial kitchen, 200m2 reception area Hall, swimming pool and a bar area to add to its appeal. It also has one small and one multi-purpose ablution facility.
The entire 2.4 ha garden is in pristine condition and conforms magnificently with the Coastal Dune Forest yet also has a botanical garden feel to it. It is a birding paradise with buck and other wildlife being regular visitors too. Golf enthusiasts will envy the two manicured golf greens that ensure a park-like experience.
The Resort has Holiday and Caravan Park status and is fully licenced to provide commercial catering services. However, the current liquor licence that exists, would not be transferrable to the new owner.
The buildings are well-maintained and the staff compliment who help manage the infrastructure are motivated and feel part of the family. Importantly, on-going business for the next year ahead has already been secured by the owners. LTE and Fibre connections are available.
The ideal investor will be one who purchases this property with all assets as an income generator. Alternatively, a work from home family with an established income could enjoy the coastal lifestyle whilst maximising additional income from the resort. It is a truly unique property on the KZN South Coast that would be almost impossible to replicate in these times.
