What RelaxResort Kothmühle**** does

RelaxResort Kothmühle is a 4-star superior family-owned wellness hotel located in Neuhofen an der Ybbs in the Mostviertel region of Lower Austria, operated by the Scheiblauer family for four generations under the legal entity Hotel Kothmühle GmbH (VAT ID ATU50108002). The property sits between Vienna and Linz in Alpine foothills on a 20,000 m² site featuring a natural swimming pond and biodiversity-certified gardens, offering approximately 30+ rooms decorated with natural materials in fruit-themed categories (Apple, Pear, Plum) alongside suites and specialty accommodations. Core facilities include an 800 m² wellness area with indoor/outdoor pool, multiple saunas (Mühlensauna with operating mill wheel, Mostviertler bio sauna, salt steam bath), infrared cabin, fitness center, and spa treatment rooms, plus seminar facilities for corporate events.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model selling overnight stays, themed wellness and romantic packages (priced €173–€792+ per person), spa treatments, organic cuisine (90%+ bio/regional ingredients under the 'Mostbaron' brand), gift vouchers (€20–€2,000), and ancillary services including E-Bus shuttle from Amstetten station and EV charging. Distribution combines a vioma GmbH-powered own website (BOOKING, VOUCHER, NEWSLETTER, CMS) with presence on Booking.com, Tripadvisor, Holidaycheck, Trivago, and Google Reviews. Customer segments span leisure wellness travelers, romantic couples, active nature enthusiasts, and corporate event clients, supported by sustainability credentials including the Austrian Ecolabel, Gemeinwohlökonomie certification, CO2-neutral shuttle, and documented biodiversity (321 insect species via BOKU University partnership).

The company is family-managed by General Manager Mag. Johannes Scheiblauer, MBA, and Christiane Scheiblauer, with no external investors, subsidiaries, or M&A activity evidenced. Revenue is generated entirely from a single physical location, with growth depending on package mix, occupancy, and event bookings rather than unit expansion. No financial figures are publicly disclosed.
