We are proud to present a commercial opportunity to acquire The Highlander Tavern and bring it 'back to life'! This hotel business pre Covid was a multiple income stream performing 'Freehold' enterprise.
Located on the State 44 Tourist Highway just 20-minutes from Mossman, 30 minutes to Port Douglas and the Crystalbrook Marina, the waterway gate to the Great Barrier Reef.
The Tavern is positioned on a 5 acre parcel of land between the Atherton Tablelands and the Daintree National Park, surrounded by picturesque mountains and basks in temperate climate.
In the past the general trade has been generated through the public bars, the restaurant, bottle shop and reserved as a sort after function venue, and revenue is complimented by two Balinese inspired cabins with their own projected minimum annual gross income of approximately $75,000, based on just 120 nights per year the cabins could comfortably double this income when reintroduced to the holiday rental market.
Excellent Highway exposure combined with a visionary approach, the ground level unoccupied storage shed could be converted to a Cellar Door, or Boutique Gin Distillery, with current car parking for 60 to 70 cars right at the doorstep.
The quintessential beauty of Julatten sits within the World Heritage listed rainforest, and neighbouring Mount Lewis and Mowbray National Parks. Along with 'Salt of the Earth' locals, and a perpetual flow of National and International tourists, everyone is waiting for the grand re-opening of The Highlander Tavern.
With the current Owners committed to retirement, they recently engaged multiple professional trades to ensure The Highlander Tavern is presented and ready to be sold at Auction.
This is a very attractive opportunity for an Investor, or family run business to reap the financial rewards and lifestyle benefits, with room to develop further accommodation and promote the venue location as North Queensland's Tourism continues to explode.
