Coffee & Burger Afloat is one of New Zealand's most distinctive hospitality ventures - a floating café and burger bar on stunning Lake Dunstan in Cromwell.
Since launching in 2021, it has become a must-visit stop on the iconic Lake Dunstan Trail, popular with cyclists, walkers, and lake users alike. The business is currently run on reduced hours, showcasing its ability to remain profitable even with limited trading. For a new owner, there is genuine flexibility: it can continue as a seasonal lifestyle business, or be expanded into a full-time, year-round operation with extended hours and events.
Earnings have been strong in past years, demonstrating the potential for excellent returns under more active operation. With clear scope to reinstate weekday trading or extend the season, Coffee Afloat offers both proven performance and exciting growth potential. Fully off-grid and powered by solar with generator backup, Coffee Afloat has no lease obligations - only a small contribution to the Lake Dunstan Trail Trust. This keeps fixed costs low and operations simple. Supplies are managed via the dedicated support boat Fetch the Milk.
Included in the sale are four boats (coffee boat, burger boat, support boat, and stage pontoon), trailers, vehicles, a full café fit-out, and event equipment - an asset base valued at $153,500. Optional vehicles are also available by negotiation.
With award recognition, national media coverage, a loyal following, and a prime lakeside location, this is a rare opportunity to step into a proven, profitable business that can be shaped to suit your lifestyle or growth ambitions.
