Property Details
This fully licensed wellness and rehabilitation estate presents a rare and highly valuable investment opportunity in the mental health and substance abuse treatment sector. Situated on stunning terraced land in the tranquil village of Sunwich Port on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast, it is the only licensed detox and recovery centre in the region—accredited by both the Department of Social Development and the Department of Health. All regulatory requirements have been met, with compliance certificates in place for food safety, environmental health, fire safety, pest control, and medical waste management.
A significant added value is the facility’s approval for conversion into a private psychiatric unit—filling a critical gap in a region currently underserved in this area. This opens an untapped market and adds immense potential for expansion and future growth.
The property is fully operational and income-generating, with a professional on-site team comprising psychologists, doctors, social workers, occupational therapists, and counsellors, all working within a holistic and compliant care model. Medical aid partnerships, qualified staff, and established operational systems are already in place, making this a true turnkey solution. The licensing itself is an incredibly rare asset in this region—difficult to obtain and nearly impossible to replicate.
The estate offers sweeping views over the Indian Ocean and is ideally located just minutes from Port Shepstone and within 90 minutes of King Shaka International Airport. It is designed to deliver a seamless blend of clinical functionality, natural serenity, and lifestyle appeal—making it ideal for medical professionals, healthcare entrepreneurs, or investors in the wellness space.
Accommodation includes 11 spacious guest/patient rooms—most with en-suite bathrooms and private verandas—8 bathrooms in total, dedicated consultation and therapy rooms, and spa treatment areas. Communal spaces include a sea-facing yoga and group therapy studio, several lounges, a tranquil library, and expansive dining areas, all supported by a fully equipped commercial kitchen.
Additional infrastructure includes a separate administration block suitable for consulting rooms or private practice, flexible-use areas, a staff cottage, storage rooms, and space for future development such as a health café or additional treatment suites.
Outdoors, the property features beautifully landscaped indigenous gardens, fruit trees, and walking trails designed to promote healing in nature. Security is top-notch, with a motorised entrance gate, CCTV, and secure parking for guests and staff. Zoned for commercial use and sold as a going concern, the sale includes the business goodwill, branding, website, and a trained team of medical and support staff.
Whether you’re expanding an existing practice, launching a world-class wellness retreat, or developing a boutique medical resort, this exceptional coastal property offers unmatched value, privacy, and potential in one of South Africa’s most desirable regions.
