A Bittersweet Moment
Today marks 12years since we bought the Merivale Manor and started a journey that has included so many highs and 'interesting challenges like earthquakes, seismic shifts, pandemics, recessions - but always recoveries and more good times.
At the centre of all of it has been you, our wonderful and loyal customers, clients, friends, team members, suppliers, friends and family. We have totally enjoyed the fun, friendship, camaraderie, memories and stories that have been shared over these years - it really has been a pleasure hosting you and sharing our small part of the world with you all.
We are now at the point where we are ready to pass the chalice to the next fortunate owner, who will inherit so many friends they will never be lonely again :-)
Our hearts are full, the memories of our time at the Manor will stay with us forever - maybe someday there will be a book, there have certainly been enough stories and happenings over the years to fill many chapters :-)
Today we have listed the business here : https://www.coffeys.co.nz/Listings/Prestige-and-Profits/
If you, or someone you know, might be interested in having the time of their lives, in one of the Christchurch's premier properties and being their own boss - please pass this along.
We will still be here until she is sold - so if you are planning a trip to CHC, we would love to see you one more time.
Thank you all, we wish you the very best.
Wayne & Karen
