Kaiviti Motel, Port Vila

A family-run, colonial-style accommodation property of 37 units in the centre of Port Vila, overlooking the harbour: 28 self-contained studios and nine two-bedroom apartments, configured for short, medium and long stays.

The property has meeting facilities and business amenities and serves both leisure and corporate travellers. It trades as part of the Golden Chain group.

The offer is full ownership through purchase of the operational assets by mutual agreement, with joint venture partnerships also open. Unlike most of the pipeline this is an operating business with a trading record, so the diligence is on accounts and occupancy rather than on construction.

VFIPA frames the sale as part of the Kaiviti Model, which aims to align foreign investment with traditional landownership structures — worth understanding before negotiating the land position.

Duty exemptions on imported tourism-related goods for existing and new operators, through the Department of Tourism. Asking price is not published. Occupancy is exposed to Australian arrivals, which are concentrated and weather-sensitive. Cyclone exposure applies.
