Business Description
And not a dot of AvGas burned. Those little Sandpipers fly a long way from Finland to feed off South Australia’s Limestone Coast where the town of Millicent sits at about its epicentre.
But for you it’s under four hours from Adelaide and five from Melbourne. There’s a measure of its success as an alternate inter-capital route with four new service stations in town – operating or planned.
The namesake Sandpiper at Millicent offers the best overnight stay. But you may have to compete with the businessmen, medicos, tradesmen and even a domestic tourist or two.
There’s a very good reason Kimpton-Clark put its paper producing plant close by, given the ample supply of resource growing in the Radiata Pine plantations that surround the town to the border.
There’s always a market for their product. You can find it in most of the smallest rooms of every house in Australia.
It gets down to the bottom of things - every day!
The Sandpiper is 15 minutes to the fresh air straight off the Great Australia Bight. Tantoola Lake Cave only five minutes, and Mayura Station for the best Wagyu steak in Australia, just ten minutes out of Millicent. A great way to mix business with pleasure.
Why not take an overnight break and treat yourselves.
And for the Sandpiper at Millicent A long trouble-free lease, making good money getting better. P-12 education locally or 30 minutes to the private schools of Mt Gambier.
Adjusted Net Profit: $207,323 for 12 months
