Savannah Wy Mtl, 179 Robinson Road,
Borroloola, NT 0854

Savannah Way Motel presents a rare and compelling investment: a fully operational, walk-in walk-out guest accommodation business situated in the heart of Borroloola, Northern Territory. Set on approximately 5,990 square metres of freehold land, this offering includes motel-style rooms, cabins, budget lodging options, and a licensed restaurant—an ideal turnkey hospitality asset with a solid track record.

For more than 20 years, the motel has served as a regional cornerstone, catering to Northern Territory Government agencies, corporate and mining personnel, local service sectors, and tourist travellers following the iconic Savannah Way Touring Route. Its established reputation and unmatched position in Borroloola’s accommodation market ensure consistent demand and reliable income.

The property’s future potential shines even brighter thanks to several transformative regional developments. Of particular significance is the Jirribilyi mixed-use development, a visionary $23 million project led by the Community Benefits Trust. Expecting completion in 2027, it will introduce retail and commercial tenancies, government and community services, youth facilities, cultural spaces, landscaped parks, and on-site accommodation for visiting professionals. This multi-functional hub will substantially increase traffic and economic activity in the town centre, providing foreseeable upside for local lodging providers.

Complementing this injection of vibrancy is the power station upgrade in Borroloola, ensuring more reliable and resilient electricity to support current community needs and future growth. This investment underscores confidence in the town’s capacity to sustain further commercial expansion, residential development, and tourism activity.

Regional access continues to improve with staged upgrades to the Carpentaria Highway, enhancing year-round connectivity, reducing travel times, and supporting safer, more efficient freight and passenger movement. Simultaneously, broader regional economic momentum is rising through activity related to the Beetaloo Sub‑basin and other resource-driven infrastructure—not to mention robust support from the long-term operations of the McArthur River Mine, which remains a significant pillar of regional economic activity, forecast to continue producing for decades to come.

These cumulative developments position Borroloola at the threshold of a new era of economic opportunity. Savannah Way Motel is ideally positioned to capture this growth—with its fully equipped infrastructure, proven business model, and central role in the town’s service ecosystem. The inclusion of a licensed restaurant enhances its appeal, catering not just to overnight guests but to locals and professionals passing through.

Expressions of Interest are invited and must be submitted by 4:00 pm ACST on Monday 3 November 2025. Shortlisted parties will be invited to advance to the next stage, including site inspections and the submission of best and final offers.
