The people of Cunnamulla say their handshakes are stronger and the smiles last longer. They have peace and quiet that is pure gold.

Built on the banks of the mighty Warrego River at the crossroads of the Adventure Way and the Matilda Highway, Cunnamulla is a town of about 1500 people 750 kilometres west of Brisbane.

It’s also a place where tourism is booming and, with construction almost complete on the $10m Cunnamulla Hot Springs and River Walk precinct, tourist numbers and multiple-night stays are expected to skyrocket.

Two highly profitable cabin and caravan park sites are being offered by Resort Brokers in one lucrative parcel for $2,150,000. The two sites produce multiple income streams with a net profit of $212,658, but with the potential to grow far beyond that.

Site One is the Cunnamulla Cabins, situated on 4.64ha and complete with 14 cabins, eight large drive-through en-suited powered sites, ample unpowered sites, swimming pool, camp kitchen, outdoor theatre, laundry, commercial kitchen, cafe/takeaway, coffee shop, a comfortable three-bedroom owner's residence and plenty more.

Site Two is the nearby Cabins on Mabel, situated on 2024 square metres and consisting of two one-bedroom self-contained, and two two-bedroom self-contained cabins, four carports, BBQ area and verandahs.

Jason Vogler, from Resort Brokers, said there was “huge upside” to an already profitable business.

“As well as the caravan sites and cabins there is a fully kitted out café and coffee shop which the owner had to close because she simply doesn’t have the time to run it herself. So that presents a huge upside,” he said.

“Nearly half of the big block is undeveloped and in the part that has been developed there are another eight cabin sites approved with water and sewerage already in place.

“Now that Hot Springs and River Walk Cunnamulla is about to be opened Cunnamulla is appealing to a whole different range of tourists. It’s going to be sensational out there and there wi1ll be more reasons to stay more nights.”

Cunnamulla was created by the Cobb & Co stagecoach company in 1879 as a rest stop for the coaches travelling up from Bourke. It’s been a popular stopping off point ever since.

It has also long been a popular tree change holiday area, attracting flocks of bird watchers to photograph the abundance of the region’s native birdlife in their natural environment. Cunnamulla also has some of the best sand hills in Australia and the red dunes make a magnificent site against the brilliant blue skies of western Queensland.

Mr Vogler said the Cunnamulla area put visitors into a “peaceful, relaxed” mood immediately because of the bush serenity.

He said the accommodation business being offered was a “superb family tree change business” and that there would be instant upside in growth “through more hands on deck”.
