Savills Hotels exclusively present an outstanding hospitality investment opportunity, The Linville Hotel, located at 34 George Street, Linville QLD, a historic and beautifully restored  country pub in Queensland’s Somerset Region. 

Operated by a dedicated family, the Linville Hotel has undergone a significant transformation, with  investments made to enhance its facilities, improve operations, and create a welcoming  community hub.

Established in 1904, the Linville Hotel is strategically positioned just 1.5 hours from Brisbane, the  Sunshine Coast, and Toowoomba. Its location along the 161km* Brisbane Valley Rail Trail makes  it a key destination for local, interstate, and international visitors exploring Australia’s longest rail  trail.

Since acquiring the Linville Hotel in April of 2022, the current owners have worked tirelessly to  enhance its reputation and operations. Their vision has redefined the hotel as a premier country  pub experience, blending old-world charm with modern amenities. Significant investments in  infrastructure, marketing, and community engagement have resulted in increased patronage and  strong local support.

“The Linville Hotel represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a well-established and  beautifully restored hospitality venue,” said Kath Brassington, Associate Director – Hotels  QLD, Savills Australia.

“With its strong community ties and ongoing tourism growth, this asset is poised for long-term  success under new ownership,” Ms Brassington said.

The Linville Hotel has been recognised as a leading tourism and hospitality destination, securing  key industry accreditations, including accreditation through the Best of Brisbane Region  Experiences (BoBRE) program, a spot in the Top 10 Tiny Tourism Towns in Australia (2022,  2023), a feature in the 2024 Country Pub Camping Calendar, and recognition as a finalist in the  2024 Grey Nomads Awards for Best Pub Stay.

The owners have implemented key upgrades to enhance efficiency and guest experience,  including an online booking system, a modern Point of Sale system, a commercial wastewater  system to increase capacity, expanded food and beverage offerings with seasonal menus and a  curated wine list, as well as the addition of bike-friendly amenities for Brisbane Valley Rail Trail (BVRT) patrons. 

The Linville Hotel has become a cherished venue for locals and tourists alike, hosting a range of  successful events such as Pig Races, fundraising for Variety Bash, St. Patrick’s Day Weekend  Celebrations, Toyota Show & Shine Weekend, and local corporate Christmas functions. The  hotel’s reputation as an event destination continues to grow, with opportunities to expand  offerings. 

“With Queensland’s tourism industry expected to grow in the lead-up to the 2032 Olympic Games,  the Linville Hotel presents a fantastic investment opportunity,” said Joseph Ganim, Senior  Executive - Savills Hotels Australia.

“Beyond its rich history and strong community presence, the hotel is well-positioned for future  expansion. Potential development opportunities include a new kitchen and cold storage facilities  for increased service capacity, additional ground-level amenities with disabled access, an  undercover deck with stage and seating for events, and expanded accommodation facilities with  potential bottle shop licensing. Backed by support from Somerset Council, BEDA, and State  Government grants, this is a unique chance to invest in a high-growth hospitality asset,” Mr Ganim  concluded.

The sale of the Linville Hotel includes an on-site house, offering a seamless transition for new  owners looking to live and work within a thriving business. With a strong local following and a  well-established operational model, this is an ideal opportunity for first-time publicans or  experienced investors looking for a rewarding hospitality venture.

The Freehold Going Concern of The Linville Hotel is being offered for sale by way of Private  Treaty.
