The famous Lawsons Spa and Wellness Centre near Plettenberg Bay is for sale, offering buyers the chance to own a world-class health facility for R25m.
John Fuller, principal of marketing agency Chas Everitt International Plettenberg Bay, says the sale represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for savvy investors willing to take on a property of such a high calibre.
Situated an equidistant 10 minutes’ between Plettenberg Bay and Knysna, Lawsons is a family-run operation renowned for its spa facilities and magnificent, forest setting complete with 200-year-old oak trees and river.
The 19ha property adjoins the equally famous Garden of Eden forest sanctuary and houses a number of buildings including the spa itself, two groups of four large, luxury guest suites and the owner’s house, a substantial, custom built Knysna log home.
Facilities are expansive and include all the latest spa amenities and treatments, a modern boardroom, reception area, restaurant and kitchen, office and potential gym room. Gracious Georgian style architecture characterises the guest buildings and the gardens have been professionally landscaped.
Says Fuller: “Such purchase opportunities are rare. Buyers can either choose to operate the spa as is or expand the accommodation by opening a boutique hotel, corporate conference centre or gentleman’s estate.”
Activities and attractions in the area are numerous and include mountain biking, horse riding, several spectacular golf courses, walking trails, a number of beaches, dolphin and whale watching, bungee jumping, fly fishing, drives along the Garden Route, game drives, skydiving, canopying, and a multitude of arts and crafts studios and shops.
Fuller also notes that the property market in the area has continued to do well even in the current downturn, thanks to the calibre of properties available and the host of local attractions. Prices have remained steady with freehold homes continuing to achieve excellent prices.
“Both Plet and Knysna are also ever-popular with tourists and retirees and their numbers are likely to be boosted by the imminent upgrade of the Plett airport, which will funnel visitors directly into our area.”
