This well maintained concrete block motel has 16 air-conditioned rooms, all of which have a queen and single bed, flat screen TV, shower and toilet. An ongoing maintenance program, healthy returns and a long lease provide security and opportunity for the buyer.

The large function room is licensed and capable of seating 100 people with a large commercial kitchen and separate bar adjoining. The kitchen has all stainless steel gas cook tops and ovens as well as a stainless steel island bench providing a large preparation area. The current lessees do not open the function rooms on a regular basis apart from pre-booked functions such as conferences, weddings etc. This is an area where a person with catering skills could substantially increase income or sub lease it.

On-site laundry facilities are available for both patrons and in house use although all the linen is currently provided and cleaned by local off site laundry facilities. Undercover car parking is available in front of each room with ample street parking for trucks and coaches in front of the motel. The driveway areas are sealed with bitumen and car parks with concrete.

The two storey owners accommodation is all air-conditioned and has 3 bedrooms, family room and bathroom downstairs adjoining the reception plus the main bedroom with ensuite and kitchen upstairs. The lessees also rent a large 4 bedroom home next door allowing more space and privacy for a larger family (optional).

The reception area is air-conditioned and has an office area and seating for patrons. The office is equipped with a manual booking system and computer, fax, photocopier and printer. Security cameras are installed covering the reception, bar and street entrance allowing convenient viewing in several different locations.

The 5 year lease commenced in August 2005 and has another 5 x 5year options to run after the end of the initial term. The room rates were last increased in June 2009 and are $90/single, $95/double and another $10/extra person. Financial statements are available and will be provided to genuine enquirers.
