The business operates independently, avoiding third-party booking platform fees, allowing for greater control over pricing and profitability.

By converting both properties into self-catering units, the income potential could double, making this a highly lucrative opportunity for investors. Hopeman’s growing popularity as a coastal retreat ensures a steady stream of visitors, and the demand for quality accommodation continues to rise. With room for business expansion, an investor could capitalize on this thriving market, maximizing returns in a location that offers both natural beauty and strong tourism appeal.

The current owners rely solely on their website for marketing and have a loyal client base, with many returning customers and referrals from past clients. This presents significant opportunities for growth and expansion. As they plan to retire and remain in the local area, they are seeking to pass their business and home into capable hands.
