FOR SALE: Australia's Highest Whisky Bar The Bunya Mountains Tavern
An Iconic Hospitality Opportunity in a Truly Magical Setting
Australia's highest whisky bar - perched over 1,100 metres above sea level in the heart of the Bunya Mountains National Park - is now on the market.
Established in 1969 as a humble kiosk selling cold drinks and confectionery, The Bunya Mountains Tavern has grown into a thriving hospitality business boasting:
*A world-class whisky bar featuring over 180 whiskies from around the globe
*A licensed general store and bottle shop servicing both tourists and locals
*Six motel units plus on-site owner and staff accommodation
*A team of 20+ staff sourced from the surrounding communities
*Turnover of approx $2m with a nett profit of $262,000
Set amongst the world's largest natural bunya pine forest, this iconic venue is at the centre of a booming eco-tourism destination - popular with bushwalkers, birdwatchers, mountain bikers and weekenders. With hundreds of holiday homes nearby and day-trippers flocking from Toowoomba, Dalby and Kingaroy, visitor numbers continue to grow year-round.
The Bunya Mountains offer panoramic views, rich biodiversity, and an enchanting atmosphere that keeps people coming back. Recent infrastructure improvements, including the full bitumen sealing of Maidenwell Bunya Mountains Road, now make access from Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast easier than ever.
The Tavern is not only loved by locals, it's ingrained in the hearts of thousands of tourists who return annually. With increasing visitation to the Bunyas and the new mountain bike trail network, this business is perfectly positioned for the next chapter of growth.
Whether you're an experienced operator or a hospitality enthusiast looking for a tree-change with altitude, the Bunya Mountains Tavern presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to take the reins of a truly unique business.
