$7M Freehold Going Concern

Business Description

The Emerald Explorers Inn presents a rare and exceptional opportunity to secure a high-performing freehold going concern motel in the heart of Queensland’s thriving Central Highlands. This well-established 46-room mid-scale motel has built a strong reputation for quality, with annual turnover averaging $1.6 million for the past three years and net profits ranging from $800,000 to $980,000.

Built in 2002, the property offers resort-style accommodation and has been well maintained, requiring minimal additional capital investment. Positioned on the main thoroughfare of Emerald—a booming regional hub—it enjoys high visibility and easy access to major transport links, including the nearby airport. The business caters to a strong repeat corporate clientele base driven by mining and agriculture, as well as a steady leisure market drawn to nearby national parks, tourist attractions, and Emerald’s vibrant town centre.

Key features include an onsite licensed restaurant, coach parking, beautiful grounds, and first-class facilities ideal for both corporate and leisure guests. With multiple income streams and strong existing performance under management, the motel offers even greater potential for hands-on operators seeking to expand occupancy or increase service offerings.

The Emerald Explorers Inn is ideally located within walking distance of the Emerald Botanic Gardens and minutes from the aquatic centre, shopping precincts, and dining options. Its strategic location and diverse clientele offer consistent revenue and a platform for further growth.

Freehold motels of this calibre in regional Australia are in high demand, and this opportunity ticks every box for savvy investors or experienced operators looking to capitalise on a booming regional economy. Don’t miss your chance to secure one of Central Queensland’s most respected motels—inspection is a must.
