Ipswich freehold going concern motel for sale — ResortBrokers

ResortBrokers’ Managing Director Trudy Crooks has listed Ipswich City Country Motel for sale with a price tag of $21 million.

An Ipswich mainstay for almost 40 years, the 44-key freehold going concern posted a net profit of more than $2.26 million in FY25, including more than $106,000 from the property’s sub-leased restaurant.

The motel’s financial performance is underpinned by occupancy at over 80% with consistent corporate trade midweek and solid leisure trade on weekends, with guests staying three nights on average.

Key corporate guests include personnel working at RAAF Amberley Base located 15 km west, government agencies and contractors engaged in nearby developments and subdivisions.

“If you want to get in on Ipswich’s explosive economic growth, this motel is the ticket,” says Ms Crooks.

“Ipswich City Country Motel has enjoyed an exceptional run with many more decades of growth ahead of it due to its ideal location in Queensland’s fastest developing city, and only 25 km from Brisbane.”

“The offering includes a DA for nine more cabins. The motel’s occupancy demand warrants the addition of these extra accommodations.”

“Management costs are still kept in the P&L meaning a savvy investor could earn leasehold level returns and enjoy the workload of an investor.”

Opened in 1985, the property’s generously sized rooms are typical of motels of its vintage. Accommodation incudes deluxe queen rooms, one-bedroom fully self-contained suites, studio apartments with kitchens, two-bedroom family rooms, plus corporate, superior and accessible rooms.

Guest facilities include a large outdoor swimming pool and wading pool, covered outdoor kitchen/BBQ alongside a shaded dining area, guest laundry, and off-street parking for large and small vehicles. END
