Business Description
Savills Hotels is pleased to present Tin Can Bay Motel, a rare freehold going concern opportunity located at 11 Mitchell Street, Tin Can Bay, Queensland, offered to the market via an on market Expressions of Interest campaign.
The sale includes a highly land rich 3,902sq m* freehold holding within a tightly held coastal tourism market on Queensland’s Cooloola Coast. The property comprises a well maintained 12 room motel set within established landscaped grounds, together with a fully self contained three bedroom manager’s residence, delivering immediate operational control and genuine long term capital growth potential.
Accommodation is configured across a diverse mix of modern, self contained guest rooms catering to couples, families and group travellers, with all rooms featuring ensuite bathrooms and kitchenette facilities. Complementing the accommodation offering is a saltwater swimming pool, barbeque and outdoor guest areas, and ample on site parking, creating a relaxed and functional coastal guest experience.
A key value add is the site’s future development flexibility, underpinned by a concept plan (STCA) for up to fifteen (15) powered caravan and RV sites. This initiative provides a clear pathway to reposition the asset as a hybrid motel and tourism park, diversifying income streams, increasing length of stay and strengthening year round revenue capture. Alternatively, the property offers immediate operational control and significant upside through development of the existing motel and additional accommodation units on underutilised land within the existing approved use.
Strategically positioned within Queensland’s designated “Nature & Marine Gateway” tourism zone, Tin Can Bay Motel benefits from proximity to major regional drawcards including Norman Point dolphin feeding, Snapper Creek, the Great Sandy Strait, and direct access to K’gari (Fraser Island) via nearby barge services. The township is located approximately 219 kilometres north of Brisbane, 45 minutes from Gympie and 30 minutes from Rainbow Beach.
The broader region is supported by favourable long term growth drivers, including major transport infrastructure upgrades, expanding marine and tourism investment, and the anticipated tourism uplift associated with the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games. Limited accommodation supply within Tin Can Bay further enhances the motel’s strategic positioning within the local market.
The Tin Can Bay Motel is being offered for sale as a freehold going concern via Expressions of Interest closing Tuesday 9 June 2026 at 4:00pm AEST (if not sold prior).
