Timber Creek Hotel for sale for $5.2m

A popular hotel, in an area renowned for fishing and bird watching, is up for sale for $5.2m.

THE popular Timber Creek Hotel, 600km from Darwin, is on the market for a whopping $5.2m.

The rare outback property is listed with ResortBrokers managing director Trudy Crooks and NT broker Kelli

Crouch.

The property includes a motel, caravan and camping sites, a swimming pool, licensed restaurant and bar,

takeaway food outlet, service station and more.

Ms Crooks said the property, which boasts a net profit of $1.15m, was a strategic investment.

“For almost everyone who travels through, works, or lives in this remote region, stopping at the Timber Creek

Hotel is a must, a haven for relaxation and exploration,” Ms Crooks said.

“It’s a meeting place with a friendly, buzzing atmosphere as independent travellers and tour groups of all ages,

truckies, workers and locals call in for comfort, sustenance, provisions and fuel.

“With the $20m Bradshaw Field Training Area for the military currently under construction in Timber Creek,

and domestic and international borders now open, the options to capitalise on growth are endless.”

Current owner Fiona McDonald said the hotel and area attracted significant tourism, with the area renowned

for its Golden Finch population and fishing, including the Big Horse Creek Barra Classic.

“There’s so much for locals and visitors to do here. Fishermen love the Victoria River, which flows 560km from 

its source, for its stock of barramundi,” Ms McDonald said.

“4WD enthusiasts have plenty of choice to explore along the Bullita track and surrounding Judbarra National

Park.

“With its three-hour proximity to Katherine, Timber Creek sits in pole position from which to base an outback

adventure.”
