Hotel Tully, on Queensland’s Cassowary Coast, has hit the market amid increasing interest in tourism-laden regional assets.
Commonly known as the ‘Top Pub’, Hotel Tully was built 1926 and is considered a local landmark, with direct frontage to main road Butler street, exposed to vehicles and pedestrians. Its 2,224sqm lot enjoys dual street access and connectivity to the Bruce Highway.
The Top Pub offers a main bar, bistro and dining area, function room, gaming room with 20 machines, drive-through bottleshop, and 20 rooms of hostel-style accommodation, set up with 80 beds.
It actively caters to the coastal locals as well as passers-through, employing mid-week promotions and hosting community events such as the Tully Lioness’ Farewell lunch.
The town of Tully is situated along the Great Green Way, between Cairns and Townsville, around 1,500 kilometres north-west of Brisbane, counting a local population (Census 2016) of 3,390.
It is surrounded by a veritable flock of tourist attractions, including the Tully Heritage Trail, Golden Gumboot, Hearts Full of Hope Statue, Tully Sugar Mills & Tours, Mount Tyson, Alligators Nest, Tully Gorge & Falls, White Water Rafting and the Murray Falls.
These attractions bolster its appeal with both domestic and, in normal times, international tourists.
“It is known for being one of Queensland’s largest sugarcane and banana producers, making it very popular with the backpacker market and local and interstate Aussies,” says Savills Australia’s Leon Alaban, who is marketing the property with colleague Christian Tsalikis.
The freehold going concern of Hotel Tully is being offered for sale via Offers to Purchase.
