$1,500,000

Business Description

Kellys Motel offers an established 11-room freehold operation on a substantial 3,030sqm landholding in the centre of Oakey, complete with a three-bedroom owner's residence and practical drive-up configuration.

The business is underpinned by consistent regional demand from RAAF Base Oakey, Oakey Beef Exports, agricultural contractors, transport operators and Toowoomba overflow, while current trading levels leave considerable scope to increase occupancy and revenue through hands-on management, selective refurbishment, tariff optimisation and stronger online distribution.

Positioned in the heart of Oakey within easy walking distance of shops, dining and essential services, the motel offers a convenient and highly accessible location for both corporate and leisure guests.

Suited to owner-operators or investors seeking a manageable freehold asset with clear growth levers, this opportunity combines operational simplicity with genuine capital and income upside.

The business benefits from year-round demand drivers, contractor-friendly facilities, and predictable short-stay spikes from local events, while the freehold title delivers long-term security and flexibility.
