Business Description
Seasonal Accommodation in the Heart of Queensland’s Farming Region
With the owners pursuing commitments elsewhere, this property is now offered at an attractive level below replacement cost – representing outstanding value for the serious investor.
Situated on a substantial 4,962 m² corner block in the bustling centre of Gin Gin, the Harvest Hostel presents a near-new, purpose-built accommodation lodge. Just off the Bruce Highway and only 50 kilometres from Bundaberg, it sits at the gateway to one of Queensland’s most active fruit-picking and farming regions – ideally placed to service both the agricultural workforce and backpacker market.
Freehold Going Concern: Own the land and business, with strong potential for growth and profitability.
Accommodation Capacity: Three 2-storey dormitory buildings, licensed for 148 beds and currently configured for 128, providing flexibility to meet seasonal demand.
Facilities: A commercial-scale kitchen, self-service laundry, TV lounge, Wi-Fi, expansive social areas, and housekeeping services all designed for guest comfort and convenience.
Liquor Licence: An added advantage providing extra revenue potential for incoming operators.
Trading has recommenced this season after a pause, with historic performance showing up to $10,000 per week in peak periods. Figures from prior years are available to qualified buyers.
This is a rare chance to secure a modern, income-generating freehold asset in a thriving agricultural hub. Opportunities of this scale and positioning seldom come to market.
