Five regional Queensland pubs for sale right now

The Post Office Hotel, Cloncurry

A legendary outback watering hole with strong year-round appeal, the Post Office Hotel sits in the heart of Cloncurry’s busy mining and transport hub.

Recent renovations have improved the overall building including its guest rooms and main bar facilities, along with an 80 kilowatt solar system which helps in reducing running costs.

Reliable income also flows in from eight authorised gaming machines, a steady food and beverage trade and 33 guest rooms, capturing demand from mine workers, contractors and travellers alike.

With expansion potential on a 2649 square metre site, it has appeal for a new operator who either wants to run the pub as it is, or further diversify its offering.

Babinda State Hotel, Babinda

If you closed your eyes and imagined a country Queensland pub, you’d probably be thinking of the Babinda State Hotel.

Listed on the Queensland Heritage Register, the hotel has quite an unusual history. It was built by the Queensland government in 1917, reportedly to boost the state’s economy after World War I, and was then sold 13 years later. It has been privately owned ever since.

Now the pub, which sprawls across 1884 square metres on Babinda’s main street, is once again available for sale.

The building contains a fully licensed bar, bottle shop and restaurant, as well as a cafe and function room, a commercial kitchen and an accommodation wing with 18 rooms and a primary residence.

According to the listing agent, Tourism Brokers, net profit for the last financial year was just over $240,000.

The Grand Hotel, Wooroolin

It doesn’t get more country pub than The Grand Hotel in Wooroolin with its original features still firmly intact including the pool table and games room, front bar, and classic Queenslander verandah.

Located in South Burnett which used to be a rail stopover, this classic pub was built over 100 years ago and is still serving local punters.

Set on a 2265 square metre site, the property includes a newly-built drive-through bottle shop with large cool rooms and storage (a $350,000-plus upgrade), and six upstairs accommodation rooms for added income potential.

The owner is determined for this one to sell, so all offers are considered.

Garradunga Hotel, Garradunga

Surrounded by cane fields a few minutes north of Innisfail, the Garradunga Hotel, known locally as “The Garra Pub”, offers a classic North Queensland watering hole and accommodation business about an hour south of Cairns.

The freehold going concern occupies a 9877-square-metre site and includes a bar, restaurant and commercial kitchen, along with nine accommodation rooms, three of which have ensuites. The concrete building was renovated in 2024.

There are also two sheds, including a stable, as well as camping areas, ample parking and two roadside billboards. The site also has approval for additional detached dwellings, offering further development potential for its next owner.

Rosewood Hotel, Rosewood

Located just 70 metres from Rosewood Train Station, the Rosewood Hotel has recently undergone a “significant redevelopment, transforming the venue into a contemporary, community-focused hotel while retaining its historic character and long-standing local identity,” listing agent Colliers Toowoomba says.

Improvements comprise a two-storey hotel with food and beverage operations on the ground floor and 10 first-floor accomodation rooms.
