17-19 Main Street Mount Molloy QLD 4871

Perfectly positioned on the Mulligan Highway tourist trail along the gateway to the Gulf of Carpentaria, Cooktown and the Cape York Peninsula, Mount Molloy is approximately 40 minutes from Port Douglas on the coast and approximately 80 minutes’ drive to the Cairns International Airport. A rare opportunity has arisen for a new licensee to come on board to run the historic National Hotel in Mount Molloy (a historic mining town) in Far North Queensland.

The National Hotel is approximately 120 years old and was once run by the famous Australian explorer James Mulligan in the early 1900’s. Now the 2-storey timber building has 10 furnished guest rooms on the top floor as part of the hotel’s accommodation and a two-bedroom live-in residence downstairs. There is also the main bar, commercial kitchen, sit-down dining area, poolroom, and beer garden with pizza oven, all on the ground floor. A courtesy bus service is also available to patrons.

As the only public establishment in the town, the National Hotel is a well-renowned watering hole, serving up cold beer and hearty meals to its regular local patrons 7 days a week, as well as to the many tourists passing through on their way north.

The business is currently for sale for $190,000 + GST, + SAV + Vehicles, with the potential to purchase the freehold also available.
