The Yarraman Hotel Motel is a two-storey freehold asset 180 kilometres northwest of Brisbane, offered either as a going concern lease or as a freehold purchase. Six Coastal Gaming authorities sit on the licence already, which is the part of this deal that does the heavy lifting: gaming entitlements of that number aren’t issued freely in Queensland, and a buyer picking up this asset is picking up that income floor along with the building.
The accommodation side is split across two distinct offerings. Downstairs, seven standalone double motel rooms give the business a self-contained accommodation product separate from the pub itself, useful for contractors, tradies and transient trade passing through on the highway. Upstairs, eight traditional pub-style rooms sit above the bar, the kind of accommodation that’s been part of the building since it was built and still pulls its own trade today.
The trading side of the business runs through a large public bar and bistro backed by a full commercial kitchen, giving a new operator the equipment to run a proper food offering rather than a token bar menu. A brand new detached bottleshop adds a retail liquor line that trades independently of the bar, bistro and gaming, giving the asset a fourth income stream on top of accommodation, food and beverage, and gaming.
A new 5x5x5 lease structure is in place for buyers who want to take on the operation without the capital outlay of a freehold purchase, with the freehold itself also available for a buyer wanting to own the asset outright. Either way, this is a building with genuine character in a town that doesn’t see this kind of asset come to market often, structured to give an incoming operator room to put their own stamp on it from day one.
