The unique Chris's Beacon Point Restaurant and Villas could be yours!
The freehold and the business (restaurant and accommodation) as a going concern, is on the market! Alternately, the restaurant building may be converted into a most luxurious private residence (STCA), with the villas serving as guest accommodation.
Over 50 years ago, Chris Talihmanidis set his sights on becoming the pre-eminent restaurateur along the Great Ocean Road. Instead, he became an international epicurean legend!
Chris has greeted his guests - from near and far - as family members. His genuine warm welcome, the complimentary glass of wine, the roaring fire in winter, the delectable cuisine, together with the spectacular views of the meadows and the coastline below, made for an unforgettable experience.
The restaurant is complimented by the modern cozy villas: which enjoy heavenly views over forest and ocean. One must watch the drone video to fully appreciate the perpetual value-adding-potential of this wonderfully scenic location.
Chris's is the ideal venue for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It's also the perfect venue for weddings, conferences, and special events. Alternately, the restaurant building may be converted into a most luxurious private residence (STCA), with the villas serving as guest accommodation.
At age 90 - and still passionate about gastronomy - Chris has decided that it's time for another to continue his legacy. All the hard work has been done. His decision to retire presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for an enterprising person/couple, to further develop this successful business, and to enjoy the enviable Great Ocean Road lifestyle.
