www.realestateguide.com.au welcomes Hillcrest Retreat as an advertiser

Hillcrest Mountain view Retreat is a Business For Sale on the North Coast of NSW.

A rare opportunity to combine lifestyle with an established business enjoying a SIX FIGURE income, in the fast growing Tweed region of Northern NSW.

Operating since January 1999, this very successful lifestyle tourist accommodation business is Council approved for 12 paying guests (currently operating for 6), is the only 5 Star Rated B&B in the Tweed region, the only TIC Accredited business in the entire Northern Rivers and winners of numerous Tourism Awards. Located in the fast-growing Tweed Coast hinterland, only 35 minutes from Gold Coast airport, 90 minutes from Brisbane and 45 minutes from Byron Bay, Hillcrest has a substantial established turn-over and strong repeat business.

Offering spectacular views from the famous landmark Mt Warning to the rainforests of Springbrook Ranges and with room for expansion, Hillcrest currently offers two B&B suites in a private guest wing of the main residence, which includes spacious owner/manager quarters, and one fully-self contained Cottage in its own secluded garden. Centrally located to a host of activities and beauty spots, Hillcrest enjoys a unique position of seclusion without isolation.

With 12 metre, pebble finished concrete solar-heated salt-water pool, fenced vegetable garden, established easy-care garden, chicken shed/pen, horse stables/feed shed, huge work-shed, tractor port and carport, Hillcrest is fully appointed and ready for a new owner/operator to take over and expand on an already successful lifestyle business in the fast growing Tweed region.

Currently owner-operated by a husband and wife team with no extra staff required other than a casual masseuse, Hillcrest is ideal for a couple seeking a “sea-change’ to the beautiful Northern Rivers region with an established income. However building floor-plan is such that Hillcrest can easily be reverted to a 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom family home with separate self contained Cottage.

Hillcrest enjoys massive internet exposure with extensive editorial and listings on too many to list accommodation directories. Print and internet advertising is in place for both current and next season. Cost includes three high ranking websites, plus one additional website kept exclusively to track print media advertising; copy of accreditation hand-book and time-limited training if required.
