The Popular Playcentre On Track to 700k in Sales


For a business ownership opportunity in the Playcentre space, PlayHut Breakwater is the perfect balance of simple and profitable, with a flexible business model that suits both an owner-operator and a management-run model.

With consistent mix-six-figure returns, PlayHut Breakwater is the destination for indoor play for kids located in Breakwater, Geelong, with a range of features that stand out from the crowd in the recreation and leisure space.

Where children go, parents follow, and PlayHut Breakwater has seen consistent success with its centre that caters to both child and parent ease and enjoyment. For the little ones, the centrepiece of this established flagship franchise is a 3-tiered playground which offers endless fun for infants all the way up to older kids of 12 years. Boasting indoor trampolines, tunnels, ball canons, slides and even a classic ball pit (all the finest play equipment sourced from around the world), there really is something for kids of all ages to get into, and an indoor environment that’s all-weather friendly. 

While children play, parents are able to relax and enjoy the in-house cafe with barista-prepared coffee and plenty of food options to suit a light bite or a fortifying pre-play meal. Security and peace of mind is at the heart of the PlayHut brand, with the business ensuring all children are easily managed and kept track of by their caregivers.
