Summary
The Plantagenet Hotel represents a rare opportunity to secure a landmark regional hospitality asset in the heart of Mount Barker, a key service centre within Western Australia’s Great Southern region. Prominently situated adjacent to Albany Highway, the hotel benefits from high visibility, strong passing traffic and an established role as the town’s primary hospitality venue.
The asset is underpinned by a structurally diverse demand base that includes local residents, regional business and government visitation, contractors, drive-through travellers and wine and nature-based tourism. This breadth of demand provides income resilience and reduces reliance on any single trade driver, supporting consistent trading performance across economic cycles.
A clear and executable value-add strategy exists through the refurbishment and repositioning of both the food and beverage and accommodation components. Importantly, the upside is operational rather than speculative. Targeted capital investment focused on presentation, amenity and branding has the potential to materially enhance patronage, dwell time, occupancy and achievable room rates without the need for redevelopment or planning risk. The food and beverage offering provides immediate opportunity to re-establish the hotel as a contemporary regional bar and bistro, showcasing local produce, regional wines and craft beverages. This repositioning is expected to drive higher average spend and strengthen the hotel’s status as a destination venue within the community.
The accommodation component is under-leveraged relative to its location and catchment. Refurbishment directed toward bathrooms, furnishings and finishes would enable repositioning toward higher-yield tourism, corporate, contractor and event-related demand, delivering margin-led growth and improved RevPAR.
The availability of long-term tenure of an initial lease term of 12 years provides incoming operators with the confidence to invest in refurbishment and brand development, allowing capital expenditure to be amortised over an appropriate time horizon and supporting a sustainable long-term operating model.
Overall, the Plantagenet Hotel offers scale, presence and genuine upside, making it particularly attractive to experienced hoteliers and hospitality groups seeking to establish or expand a high-quality regional platform with long-term growth potential.
