Cromwell - $200,000

Operating since 2021, this off-grid floating café and burger operation on Lake Dunstan delivers proven earnings on minimal hours.

With low overheads, a strong $153k asset base, and steady demand from trail riders, and lake users, it offers a stable, scalable hospitality model.

Recognised with awards and national media coverage, the brand has a loyal following ready for a new owner to leverage.

Buy with confidence -

• Asking Price: $200,000
• Profitable weekend-only trading; higher earnings proven under full hours
• Off-grid with no lease costs
• $153,500 asset base: four boats, trailers, and café fit-out
• Consistent demand from Lake Dunstan Trail users
• Simple operations with dedicated supply boat
• Mobile, relocatable model suited to other high-traffic lakes

A low-overhead structure keeps margins strong, and consistent profits across multiple years show a model that works with seasonal or part-time trading.

Operations are simple, with established systems and supply routines.

The business can be run seasonally or expanded back to weekday, evening, or year-round trading depending on owner goals.

Two new cycle-trail links opening in 2026 and 2027 will increase visitor flow, creating a clear path to higher turnover.
