A landmark eco-adventure destination, Mt Barney Lodge is a fully operational, multi-award-winning freehold business nestled in Queensland’s spectacular Scenic Rim. Offering a diverse accommodation portfolio, long-standing brand recognition, and a strong economic history, the Lodge is positioned for its next chapter under capable new ownership.
Operational Improvements Driving Profit
The current owners have recently restructured operations to lift profitability — with yield increasing from 27% to 42% in the past 12 months. The result is a leaner, scalable operation – perfectly positioned for you, the new owner, to step in and drive the next chapter of growth.
