ELANORA ROSE COTTAGE | CIRCA 1900 | WALK-IN, WALK-OUT
In a shifting market, smart capital seeks irreplaceable assets backed by demonstrable income. 'Elanora Rose' Cottage presents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored heritage property alongside an established holiday accommodation business with a compelling forward-booking profile that has been operating as a holiday rental for 11 years.
A VERIFIED FINANCIAL TRACK RECORD
The property, with 5-star reviews, Air BNB Super-host & Stayz premier host badges, reportedly grossed $56,000 last year. For the financial year from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027, $43,400 in bookings is secured to date, including $17,000 for December 2026 and January 2027. Average weekly income for the current financial year being $835 per week.
With more than eight months remaining in the financial-year booking window, there is further opportunity to build on the existing pipeline.
Looking further ahead, $12,700 in bookings is already secured for 202728, supported by returning guests. The vendor reports that approximately 60% of bookings have come through direct owner channels, indicating an established customer relationship base.
The property is offered fully furnished on a walk-in, walk-out basis, so no need to go through the task of purchasing furniture and styling the property, with its existing digital-platform presence and rankings included in the sale.
The operating proposition is strengthened by a solar system and a 20.4 kWh battery, which may help manage energy costs. Beyond the numbers, 'Elanora Rose' occupies a commanding corner allotment in historic Port Elliot, within an approximately ten-minute walk of Horseshoe Bay and the iconic Port Elliot Bakery.
This circa-1900 bluestone and sandstone cottage pairs heritage character with carefully considered guest amenities, with all the heavy lifting of establishing the property already done, including an open fireplace, manicured grounds, outdoor cinema and barbecue area.
Together, the setting and facilities support its appeal to visitors seeking a premium Fleurieu Peninsula stay.
For investors seeking an established accommodation operation, a coastal weekender or a property with scope to develop its existing performance, 'Elanora Rose' offers a distinctive combination of heritage appeal and an existing booking pipeline. Its future performance will depend on occupancy, operating expenses, management and market conditions.
A distinctive heritage asset. An established guest base. An opportunity to build
on what is already in place.
