Freehold Included | Fully Managed Pub | $30K Weekly Turnover

  • $1,400,000

Description

An established regional hotel business is offered for sale as a combined freehold and going concern, presenting a compelling opportunity to acquire both a fully managed hospitality operation and the underlying real estate in one secure investment.

The business generates approximately $30,000 per week while trading only five days, highlighting strong underlying demand and efficient operations without reliance on extended trading hours. The venue operates under full management, with an experienced manager in place who lives nearby and is committed to remaining post-settlement, allowing for genuinely hands-off ownership.

The hotel includes on-site accommodation, comprising refurbished internal bedrooms and dedicated staff accommodation, supporting staffing continuity and operational stability.

A separate bottleshop building forms part of the overall holding and is currently leased to a local business at $2,000 per month, providing immediate passive income. This space may be repurposed into a drive-through bottleshop, subject to purchaser strategy and approvals, offering a high-margin, low-labour growth opportunity.

The business benefits from a large-capacity liquor licence, providing flexibility for future expansion and event-based trade. In addition, semi-approved subdivision plans for three allotments are in place, presenting longer-term development or land-banking potential.

FREEHOLD & BUSINESS – COMBINED OFFERING
This opportunity is offered as a combined sale of the going concern hotel business together with the freehold property.
The total asking price for the business and freehold combined is $1.4 million, providing ownership of the trading operation, hotel buildings, bottleshop, and the underlying landholding in a single transaction.

This structure delivers:
• Immediate hospitality income
• Passive bottleshop rental income
• Full control of the property and tenancy
• Long-term capital growth through land ownership and subdivision potential

This opportunity will appeal to investors, hoteliers and strategic buyers seeking a stable, under-management hospitality asset with income, land ownership and clearly identifiable upside.

Size of Premises

  • The premises comprise a substantial regional hotel asset occupying a prominent landholding with strong frontage and access, designed to support high-volume hospitality operations and future development flexibility. The hotel includes a fully fitted public bar and hospitality areas, supported by a commercial kitchen, storage, cool rooms and back-of-house facilities appropriate for a bar-led regional trading model. The layout allows efficient service flow, strong customer visibility and adaptability for different trading formats, events or operational enhancements. On-site accommodation forms part of the premises and includes two refurbished internal bedrooms, together with an additional dedicated staff accommodation room. This configuration supports management continuity, staff retention and operational resilience, particularly within a regional setting. A separate standalone building is positioned on the site and is currently utilised as a local store. This building is leased to a local business at $2,000 per month, providing passive income, and is capable of being repurposed into a drive-through bottle shop, subject to purchaser strategy and required approvals. The property benefits from a large-capacity liquor licence, providing flexibility to accommodate high patron volumes and future trading initiatives. The land is captured within a defined boundary that supports both hospitality operations and longer-term repositioning. Semi-approved subdivision plans for three allotments are in place, offering future development or land-banking potential, subject to final approvals and purchaser objectives. The freehold is available by separate negotiation and is not included in the advertised business sale price, allowing flexibility in acquisition structure. Overall, the premises offer a well-maintained, functional hospitality asset with accommodation, ancillary income, development optionality and clear operational and strategic upside.

Opportunity

  • This opportunity lies in acquiring a fully managed regional hotel business with proven turnover, while unlocking multiple layered upside avenues that are not currently capitalised into the existing trading performance. The business generates approximately $30,000 per week while operating only five days, presenting immediate scope for extended trading days or targeted service expansion without the need for additional infrastructure. Any increase in trading days has the potential to flow directly to the bottom line, given the existing staffing and management structure. A key upside exists through the separate bottleshop building, which is currently leased to a local operator at $2,000 per month, providing passive income. A purchaser may elect to activate this space as a drive-through bottleshop, subject to approvals, introducing a high-margin, low-labour revenue stream that complements the core hotel operation. The business also benefits from on-site accommodation, supporting staff retention and management stability. This creates operational resilience and reduces recruitment risk, particularly in a regional environment. Beyond the business itself, there is longer-term value potential through semi-approved subdivision plans for three allotments. This provides optionality for future development, staged divestment, or land-banking, allowing purchasers to tailor outcomes to their investment horizon. Importantly, the business operates under full management, allowing an incoming owner to maintain passive ownership or selectively implement improvements without operational dependency. The freehold is available by separate negotiation, enabling flexibility between yield-focused acquisition or combined business-and-land ownership. Overall, the opportunity suits investors, hoteliers and strategic buyers seeking a stable, under-management hospitality business with immediate income, coupled with clear, identifiable upside levers across operations, ancillary income and longer-term land value.
