Set on a commanding, dual-frontage 1,262sqm* landholding just 200 metres from the bay, the high-performing Seabreeze Hotel presents a rare opportunity to acquire a diversified and large format hotel asset in a prime tourism location, underpinned by a robust local economy and thriving tourism market.
“The Seabreeze Hotel offers incoming purchasers a significant coastal pub opportunity, combining location, scale, diversified income streams; and highly desirable lifestyle opportunities,” commented HTL Property National Director, Dan Dragicevich.
The hotel boasts a full suite of trading departments, including a large public bar, gaming room with 18 Band x 2 Poker Machine Entitlements, modern bistro and beer garden, function space, 18 hotel accommodation rooms and drive through bottle shop with direct proximity to the waterfront and Nelson Bay Marina.
Key asset highlights include:
- 18 x Band 2 Poker Machine Entitlements
- Annualised revenue of ~$6.2m*
- Weekly gaming revenue exceeding $42,000*
- Recent major renovations including function space, beer garden, and gaming lounge
- Well-diversified income across bar, bistro, gaming, accommodation, and function space
- Prime 1,262sqm* site in central Nelson Bay location
“This is an extremely well-rounded asset with strong cash flows across every department, a robust gaming platform, and significant operational upside for experienced operators,” noted HTL Property Director, Xavier Plunkett.
Nelson Bay, the commercial and tourism epicentre of the Port Stephens LGA, has seen substantial growth in recent years, fuelled by population expansion, rising property values, and increased year-round visitation.
With over 1.5 million visitors annually and strong local population growth, the Seabreeze Hotel stands to benefit from continued macro tailwinds and renewed investment appetite in lifestyle-aligned hotel assets.
“A-grade leasehold venues such as the Seabreeze have returned to favour in recent years given the proud cashflow benefits on offer to established portfolio owners, coupled with sustained demand for high-quality assets - meaning this is one of the most compelling coastal hotel opportunities we’ve seen in recent years," added HTL Property Managing
Director, Andrew Jolliffe.
“The Seabreeze Hotel offers the ideal blend of high-margin earnings and blue-chip location, and accordingly we expect strong engagement from local and national groups seeking exposure to the booming Port Stephens market” Mr Jolliffe concluded.
The Seabreeze Hotel, Nelson Bay is being offered for sale by way of an Expression of Interest campaign closing Thursday, 24 October 2025 at 4pm (unless sold prior).
