• Domestic and international tourists accessing the Whitsundays
• Road-tripping holidaymakers travelling the Queensland coast
• Regional workers including infrastructure, transport and utility contractors
• Corporate and repeat trade servicing the local area

A GATEWAY LOCATION
Proserpine continues to benefit from its position as the mainland gateway to the Whitsundays, with strong visitation driven by access to Airlie Beach, island resorts and the Great Barrier Reef.
The motel’s proximity to the airport and highway places it in a prime position to capture both short-stay travellers and overnight stopovers, while also appealing to longer-term corporate and trade-based accommodation.

VALUE-ADD OPPORTUNITY
The current operation presents clear upside for an incoming owner-operator.

Opportunities include:
• Increasing occupancy through improved online presence and channel management
• Reviewing room rates in line with regional demand
• Reintroducing or enhancing food and beverage offering
• Targeting contractor and repeat business markets
• Leveraging strong drive-by exposure for direct bookings

This is a business where a hands-on operator can actively influence performance and unlock additional income.

IDEAL FOR
• First-time motel operators seeking an affordable entry point
• Experienced operators looking for a manageable, lifestyle-driven business
• Investors seeking a regional freehold asset with upside
• Couples wanting to combine income with a relaxed coastal lifestyle

WHY THE WHITSUNDAYS
The Whitsunday region continues to attract strong tourism demand, underpinned by its global profile, natural beauty and accessibility.
With ongoing infrastructure investment and consistent visitor growth, the region remains one of Queensland’s most desirable lifestyle and tourism markets.
