The time has come for this historic Tea Rooms to change hands.
The Herveys Range Heritage Tea Rooms has been the pinnacle of Townsville Tea Houses for over a decade, earning its name amongst Townsville and North Queensland's top tourist destinations. After being lovingly re-established by its current owners over the last 10 years, the property, which includes a licenced café restaurant, wedding and events venue, all associated equipment, 4-bedroom home and freehold land package is now for sale.
The property operates primarily as a licensed café/restaurant and wedding and events centre. Its claim to local fame is the home of the 'Eureka Hotel', the oldest slab style building in North Queensland, built in 1865. The heritage listed building is currently open 6 days a week to tourists and local patrons; displaying historically significant memorabilia, local artisans work and several sit-down eating areas. It also hosts weddings, high teas, school camps, tours and functions, primarily on the weekends. The unique history of the building, coupled with its peaceful gardens, spacious eating areas, relaxed walking track, cooler climate and just a short 25-minute drive from Townsville, make it the perfect escape for locals and travellers alike. The Tea Rooms has recently taken out the coveted title of Peoples Choice Award for 2023 Best 'Café & Casual Dining' at the North Queensland Tourism & Events Awards, further cementing itself as a local icon.
The property includes a 4-bedroom Queenslander style home with polished wooden floors, high ceilings, a freestanding claw foot bath and a fireplace. Adjacent to the house is a lockable 2 bay shed and lean-to. The home has previously been rented but has recently begun renovation with the intention of converting the home to BnB style accommodation. This work has not yet been completed; however, the home is liveable as is.
