Business Description
LINVILLE HOTEL
A Food-First Country Venue with Built-In Demand
$1.8 million | Freehold Going Concern
The Linville Hotel is a standout food and beverage–driven country venue, positioned directly on the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail (BVRT) and benefiting from consistent visitation from cyclists, car clubs, motorcycle tourers, and destination diners.
This is not a gaming-led hotel. It is a genuine kitchen-first hospitality business, making it ideally suited to chefs, restaurateurs, and hands-on hospitality couples or partners where one leads the kitchen and the other front of house.
A WEEKEND FOOD DESTINATION
The Linville Hotel has earned a strong reputation as a regional dining destination, with proven volume and repeat trade.
🍽️• Regularly serving 400–700 meals across peak weekends
👨🍳• Large, well-established commercial kitchen built for volume service
🌿• Spacious dining areas and beer garden supporting high covers
📍• Strong appeal to Brisbane and Sunshine Coast day-trippers
🚴• Seasonal uplift driven by BVRT tourism
For experienced operators, the foundations are already in place — systems, staff, reputation, and demand — allowing new owners to focus on refinement, consistency, and growth rather than rebuilding.
🏡 ACCOMMODATION & OWNER FLEXIBILITY
🛏️• Seven pub accommodation rooms upstairs
🏠• Separate three-bedroom residence
– Sleeps up to 8
– Large entertaining deck ideal for private functions
– Undercover parking and hot tub
The residence is currently utilised as additional accommodation, offering flexibility for owners, managers, staff housing, or premium guest stays.
EXPERIENCE-LED VENUE (NO POKIES)
With no gaming machines, revenue is driven by food, beverage, events, and experience, aligning with modern hospitality trends and customer expectations.
🎶• Live music and curated events
🥂• Private dining, group bookings & celebrations
🚴• Tourism-driven visitation year-round
🛏️• Accommodation income supporting overall returns
📈 GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES
Significant investment by the current owners has delivered year-on-year growth, with multiple clear pathways for the next operators to build further momentum:
🥂• Mid-week weddings & private functions (strong enquiry history)
🧭• Expanded events and entertainment programming
🛏️• Further activation of accommodation and tourism packages
🛒• Bottle shop opportunity (licence permits up to three detached bottle shops)
🏗️• Future expansion potential with surrounding land held by investors
This venue is primed for operators who understand food margins, event yield, and experience-led hospitality.
