On request
Cash Flow:
On request

Marland Motel is a 19-unit motel for sale in Powell River, BC, on the upper Sunshine Coast. The property is a motel and cottage complex on Thunder Bay Street. It also includes an adjacent lot under the same ownership. The same owner has run it for 20 years and is now ready to retire. As a result, it transfers turnkey to a new owner-operator. The motel sits minutes from the Westview ferry terminal. Therefore, it draws steady demand from ferry traffic, local industry, and tourism.

The property includes five standalone cottages, a four-unit building, and a ten-unit two-storey building. Thirteen of the units feature full kitchens, which appeals to both nightly and extended-stay guests. A three-to-four bedroom owner/manager residence with an on-site office is also included, offering turnkey on-site living for an owner-operator.

The sale is a dual-title package. It also includes an adjacent residential lot under the same ownership, adding an uncommon land base on a key arterial. The motel was established in 1955 and has seen recent capital investment, including roof work and a full restoration of the two-storey building. All buildings are in operation.

Powell River is a regional gateway on the northern Sunshine Coast, connected by BC Ferries to Vancouver Island. Demand is diversified across ferry travellers, the local resource industry, and a growing outdoor-tourism season, which supports year-round occupancy.

Offered as a share sale at CAD $1,950,000. Financial information is provided upon execution of an NDA.

Business Operation

Management type:
This business is owner operated.
Expansion Potential:

Clear upside for an owner-operator through a stronger online presence, channel management, and a refreshed guest experience. The 13 full-kitchen units support growth in extended-stay bookings. The included adjacent residential lot offers optional land for future use, subject to City of Powell River approvals.

Competition / Market:

Powell River is a supply-constrained accommodation market with limited comparable inventory. The Marland's mix of cottages and full-kitchen units supports extended-stay demand and sets it apart from standard roadside motels. Demand is spread across ferry travellers, resource industry, and tourism rather than a single segment.

Reasons for selling:

The same owner has run it for 20 years and is now ready to retire
