Southport, Queensland
Rare Short Stay Business Only, over 21% Return On Investment
Business Only with Office on title $1.3M
Business Description
This opportunity presents a rare chance to secure a short-term business-only management rights operation directly opposite the Broadwater in Southport. The complex is well-established and attracts a steady flow of families, corporate travellers, and visitors who value a central and convenient Gold Coast location.
The business produces a net profit of approximately $230,000
from a pool of 15 holiday apartments with a Body Corporate salary of $54,000 provides stable income alongside letting revenue.
A major point of difference is the freehold property component, which includes a 60m² office, kitchen and bar facilities on title plus a conference room on exclusive use. These inclusions not only provide a secure professional base but also create scope to support meetings, small events, or catered functions a feature rarely found in business-only management rights.
Operationally, the model offers excellent lifestyle flexibility with no residence requirement, no fixed office hours, and no pool or facilities to maintain.
Southport remains a reliable short-stay destination. The Broadwater Parklands and safe swimming areas across the road make it particularly popular with families, while corporate and medical visitors are drawn to the area’s proximity to the Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct, Griffith University, and Southport Courthouse. The light rail provides easy connections to Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, and Helensvale, with theme parks and the northern Gold Coast corridor only a short drive away.
In summary, this is a very rare short-term, business-only management rights package delivering strong returns, freehold office and conference facilities, and the operational freedom of a no-residence model.
