With the owners redirecting their focus to other business interests, this high-quality accommodation asset is offered below replacement cost, presenting outstanding value for an investor seeking scale, flexibility, and long-term upside.

Occupying a prominent 4,962 m² corner site in the centre of Gin Gin, the Harvest Hostel is a near-new, purpose-built accommodation lodge strategically positioned just off the Bruce Highway and approximately 50 kilometres from Bundaberg. The location places it at the centre of one of Queensland’s most active fruit-picking and farming regions, with consistent demand from seasonal agricultural workers and backpackers.
