Canberra’s ‘set and forget’ Leumeah Lodge hits the market
Investors seeking a recession-proof, high yield asset in one of Australia’s most stable property sectors now have a rare opportunity to acquire Leumeah Lodge.
This premier accommodation complex, operated by the nationally recognised YMCA (now ‘the Y’) is being offered for sale. The price guide is circa $19-20 million.
Completed in 2015, Leumeah Lodge is a modern, fully self-contained facility specialising in school excursions and groups. Located 12 minutes from the Canberra CBD, the lodge provides a unique “set and forget" investment profile.
The YMCA have recently recommitted to a new term until March 2036, providing a secure and growing income of $1,106,327.29 per annum.
"This is a standout asset for investors who value stability,” said Daniel Mcgrath of RWC Canberra.
“With a decade of guaranteed tenure from a global brand like the YMCA and a net lease structure where the tenant covers outgoings, it truly represents a 'set and forget' opportunity in a premium, growing tourist hub.”
Leumeah Lodge is a freestanding building situated on a generous lot of approximately 8000 sqm, within a larger master-planned Units Plan of 21765 sqm.
The space holds 60 hotel rooms with versatile configurations, accommodating up to eight people per room, plus a separate two-bedroom apartment.
“While the Lodge specialises in group and school bookings, the complex also successfully operates as a serviced hotel, making it a truly unique offering,” said Steven Shang, RWC Canberra’s head of retail sales and leasing.
Leumeah Lodge is offered for sale by Expressions of Interest, closing Thursday 18 June 2026.
