Waunifor Mansion Estate/Holiday Centre, Maesycrugiau
Launch Event: Saturday 23 August from 10:00am-3:00pm. RSVP Required
An Exceptional Venue for Events, Celebrations, Holidays, Staycations, and a Distinctive Lifestyle Business
Set within over 3.6 acres of landscaped gardens, mature woodland, orchards, and stream-fed grounds, Waunifor is not merely a country estate — it is a fully operational, income-generating destination with immense potential for weddings, celebrations, holidays, conferences, retreats, creative residencies, and multi-day events.
Located near the village of Maesycrugiau in beautiful West Wales, this historic property is already successfully operating as a retreat and holiday base. Yet its greatest value lies in its expansive potential as a premier event venue and hospitality business. For lifestyle buyers, creative entrepreneurs, or investors, Waunifor offers a rare opportunity to live and work in harmony with nature — while generating substantial, diverse income. While in the secluded heart of the countryside, it lies within half an hour of spectacular Cardigan Bay beaches, Brechfa Forest and ‘dark sky’ LLanllwni Mountain.

**Accommodation for 36 Guests + Two Residential Rentals
& Proven Income Potential of £150,000–£200,000 per Annum**
Waunifor includes six distinctive holiday cottages, currently sleeping up to 36 guests — ideal for wedding party stays, retreat bookings, or arts residencies.

In addition, the estate includes two fully self-contained residential rental units with their own access. These offer:
A steady and dependable income stream,
Or the option to be used as generous staff accommodation for a live-in team or visiting facilitators.
