Batemans Bay, New South Wales

PRESTIGIOUS WATERFRONT MOTEL & DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY - 119MF

SOLD

Business Description

A rare chance to secure the equal largest motel in Batemans Bay, this prestigious absolute waterfront property occupies approximately 3,790sqm in a prime central location. Positioned within walking distance of the town centre, marina, restaurants, cinema, supermarkets, clubs, aquatic and arts centre, this landmark site combines a thriving hospitality business with extraordinary long-term development potential.

The property offers 43 contemporary coastal rooms, a leased cafe/restaurant with river views, landscaped outdoor areas, and a private jetty extending into McLeods Creek - a rare feature in Batemans Bay. Guests enjoy 360-degree views across the river, islands, mountains, and wetlands, with direct access to swimming, kayaking, mountain biking, whale watching and more.

Fully refurbished in October 2021, the lodge is trading at only 50% occupancy, presenting significant upside for an incoming operator or investor. With its R3 medium density zoning, future potential includes multi-level expansion (STCA), aligning with the 2025 Batemans Bay Masterplan, which has earmarked the site as a gateway precinct with potential increased height limits.

This is an unparalleled opportunity to secure a blue-chip coastal asset in a region renowned for its world-class beaches, golf, fishing, zoo, and thriving cafe culture - just three hours from Sydney and Canberra.

Adjusted Net Profit: $834,360 for 2024/25
