The Woongarra Motel, one of the Mid North Coast’s most prominently positioned coastal accommodation assets, has officially been sold. Located on The Parade, North Haven, just south of Port Macquarie, the sale marks the transfer of a tightly held waterfront motel that has long been regarded as a high-performing and strategically located investment opportunity.
The motel occupies a substantial 2,150m² waterfront landholding directly opposite the river and comprises of 16 refurbished ground-floor rooms. A key attraction for buyers was the property’s existing Development Approval (DA) for additional rooms along the front of the site, each designed to maximise uninterrupted water views—offering strong future upside for expansion and income growth.
Built as a single-level brick motel, Woongarra underwent a full refurbishment in 2022, modernising guest rooms, facilities, and common areas while maintaining its well-known coastal character. Guests are offered a relaxed holiday experience through features including a swimming pool, BBQ facilities, and outdoor seating zones positioned at the rear of the property.
Adding to the motel’s appeal is the large on-site manager’s residence, complete with three bedrooms and a private courtyard—an asset that enhances operational ease for owner-operators or management teams’ retention.
Reflecting on the sale, Malcolm Mathie – Director MQ Brokers commented:
“Woongarra Motel has always been a well-positioned property with exceptional exposure, sitting directly opposite the water. Its occupancy rates, consistently above 80%, highlight the strong mix of business and leisure travellers that support its impressive income performance. The approved DA for additional waterfront rooms provides the new owners with immediate potential to further elevate the value of this outstanding asset.”
Just moments from North Haven’s cafés, beaches, break-wall, and renowned fishing and boating spots, the motel continues to attract a steady flow of guests from both the corporate and leisure markets.

- A consistently high occupancy rate supported by mixed-demand segments
- A large 2,150m² waterfront site in a premium coastal location
- DA approval for future expansion with rooms designed for water views
