The Innisfail Riverfront Motel delivers exceptional returns with net profit exceeding $245,000 and an impressive 14% ROI on a prime 842 sqm freehold CBD site. <br />
<br />
This nine-room operation achieves consistently strong occupancy of approximately 88%, supported by a balanced mix of corporate, government, contractor and leisure guests throughout the year. Recently refurbished in 2024, the property presents modern, low-maintenance accommodation with quality inclusions, requiring minimal immediate capital investment while generating reliable cash flow from day one.<br />
<br />
Positioned prominently on Fitzgerald Esplanade with riverfront exposure, the motel captures passing Bruce Highway traffic between Cairns and Townsville while servicing the broader Cassowary Coast region. <br />

The business operates efficiently with minimal staffing requirements, making it ideal for owner-operators seeking a hands-on hospitality venture. A basic one-bedroom owner's residence is included on-site, with potential for conversion into additional guest accommodation to further enhance revenue. <br />
<br />
Beyond its strong current performance, the substantial freehold landholding offers compelling development potential and multiple avenues for future growth. <br />
<br />
Whether your objective is immediate cash flow, long-term capital appreciation, or operational expansion, this rare combination of high-yield performance and prime CBD riverfront position represents an outstanding acquisition opportunity in regional Far North Queensland. <br />
