A truly special West Coast opportunity awaits at Holly Homestead, a beautifully restored 1926 colonial homestead offering boutique bed and breakfast accommodation in the heart of Franz Josef. Set on just under an acre of established gardens and expansive lawns, this charming home combines timeless character with modern comfort.

The large modern kitchen, external laundry, extensive parking and detached garage/workshop provide practical infrastructure needed to continue operating a successful hosted accommodation business. The property also benefits from a range of upgrades and safety features, including a full sprinkler system and interconnected fire alarm system, ground floor gas-heated radiators and top storey HRV system.
