Queensland Mountain Resort a Rare Chance for Tourism Operators

A unique farm stay accommodation facility, Bestbrook Mountain Resort, has been listed for sale as a freehold going concern via an Expressions of Interest campaign with leading agency Savills.

Located at Tregony in Queensland’s Southern Downs Region, the Resort is zoned Rural and occupies a site area of some 146 hectares, fronting the Cunningham Highway.

Popular with both families and schools, Bestbrook Mountain Resort features a range of accommodation, including four bunkhouses (23 rooms) that provide backpacker-style accommodation for up to 62 people and self-contained cabins. It also has camping sites stretched along 1.6 kilometres around the property’s own gap creek.

The Resort also has a range of facilities including a conference area, restaurant, bar, swimming pool, children’s playground, and shop.

Operating as a family-run business, Bestbrook Mountain Resort offers guests a farm stay experience with a range of activities including horse riding, bush walking, animal feeding, billy tea and damper making, whip and boomerang lessons and butter making demonstrations. 

“Whilst there is potential to redevelop and reposition the asset, it would be perfect for another tourism operator to acquire and continue as a similar farm stay or even upgrade to a more boutique nature retreat-style of accommodation,” said Tony Bargwanna, National Director – Hotels at Savills.

Domestic travel remains popular in Australia, with KPMG recently reporting that an overwhelming 90% of all trips in the last decade have been domestic travel.

“The outlook for domestic travel and tourism remains strong, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic and most recently, relaxing of local borders and travel requirements unleashing crowds of people keen to travel our country again,” he said.

Tregony is one of the major gateways to the Darling Downs and is located approximately 120 kilometres south-west of Brisbane’s CBD.

Expressions of Interest will close on 11 April, 2022.
