ResortBrokers and Kerleys Coastal Real Estate are delighted to exclusively present to market the historic Athelstane House.
Located in Queenscliff, the charming seaside town at the south-eastern end of the Bellarine Peninsula, Athelstane House is steeped in history.
Built in 1860, this historic property in the heart of town is just a few minutes' walk from the beach, Queenscliff Harbour, Citizens Park and the main shopping strip in Hesse Street.
This charming property is currently operating as a 10-room bed and breakfast that has proved hugely popular with guests. Ratings on OTAs are exceptional: a "Superb" 9.1 (from 10) on Booking.com, and an "Excellent" 4.8 and 4.5 (from 5) on Google and TripAdvisor respectively.
The buyer has the option of continuing Athelstane House's existing operations as a freehold going concern boutique hotel or, alternatively, repurposing this historic property as a private residence that is less than two hours' drive from central Melbourne.
Spanning almost 1,000 sqm, Athelstane House was extensively renovated in the 1990s in keeping with its historical aesthetic.
Athelstane House is a haven for guests seeking a touch of luxury and personalised customer service. All 10 rooms are generously sized and come with ensuites.
The hotel's west-facing grand balcony is a favourite spot for guests to soak in the ambience.
Athelstane House's commercial kitchen serves a large expansive restaurant and living room area. The onsite restaurant adds to the property's appeal, offering guests a convenient dining option and an additional revenue stream for owners.
There is ample scope to extend the restaurant's trading hours to attract a larger client base from among the local community.
Ease of operation is a main drawcard for this business. The hotel is currently operated remotely with contactless check-in. Should the buyer wish to run the hotel on site, there is the convenience of a well-appointed, one-bedroom manager's apartment that is ideal for an owner-operator to make their own. If this option is taken, the property effectively becomes a nine-room hotel.
Astute buyers should be quick to consider this exceptional opportunity. This is more than just a property; it's a chance to own a piece of history and to create some of your own.
