Ubuntu Guest Lodge — Prime Investment Opportunity in Bellevue East, Johannesburg

A rare, turnkey hospitality asset located at 146 Frances Street in the heart of Bellevue East, Johannesburg. This is a fully operational, income-generating guest lodge ready for a new owner to step in on day one.

The property comprises 9 guest rooms, each with a private en-suite bathroom, all fully furnished and currently operational. The layout includes a large covered courtyard/patio area with a corrugated-iron lean-to roof supported by steel posts — ideal as a communal or reception space — as well as multiple secure access doors to individual rooms. Rooms feature tiled floors, decorative pressed-ceiling finishes, and curtained windows.

The property also includes a separate covered workshop or storage area to the rear, a tiled common courtyard linking the units, and secure on-site parking (multiple garages listed).

Current revenue is approximately R40,000–R50,000 per month, with significant upside available through listing on global booking platforms such as Booking.com and Airbnb, securing corporate long-stay contracts, and capitalising on the high-demand central Johannesburg location.

The sale includes both the physical real estate and the established, licensed business — a valid guest lodge licence is in place and up to date. Maryland Primary School is approximately 84 m away, and the property is well-served by public transport, with bus stops within 250–370 m, and supermarkets and eateries within easy walking distance.
