Asset Type: Freehold hotel building + landholding, tenanted
Location: Finch Hatton, Pioneer Valley - Mackay hinterland gateway
A freehold hospitality investment returning 7.36% gross on a fully leased basis - ahead of recent benchmark pub freehold transactions in Queensland - in a town at the front end of a council-backed tourism uplift.
The Criterion Finch Hatton Hotel occupies 2770m in the centre of Finch Hatton, with an established hotel building comprising 8 rooms, a large beer garden, main bar and restaurant.
The property is fully tenanted, generating secure, CPI-linked income.
The Income
- Current passing rent: $110,334 per annum, subject to CPI adjustment
- Initial lease term expires December 2027, with three further five-year options, giving the tenant a pathway to occupation through to 2042
The Location
Finch Hatton sits at the entrance to the Pioneer Valley, 65km west of Mackay, and is the trailhead town for the council-delivered Finch Hatton MTB trail network. Stage one (14.5km) is complete and operating; a further 22km stage is forecast to break ground in September 2026, building toward a 95km network expected to draw an estimated 31,000 additional annual visitors, including 5,000 international riders, once fully built out. The hotel is the only licensed venue in town and sits directly on the visitor route between the trailhead, the showgrounds, and Finch Hatton Gorge.
The Upside (subject to council approval)
Beyond the secured income, the landholding offers scope to explore additional accommodation capacity to capture overnight demand from the growing trail and eco-tourism visitation - a longer-term lever for a future owner, not a requirement to secure todays return.
