HTL Property to Bring Tamworth’s Courthouse Hotel to Market

HTL Property is honoured to present to the market the freehold going concern interest of the Courthouse Hotel, Tamworth; representing a high-performing regional hotel asset positioned within one of New South Wales most established and diversified regional economies. The Vendor for the sale is Harvest Hospitality, who acquired the asset 10 years ago in 2016.

Prominently located on the city’s main thoroughfare, Peel Street, the property occupies a substantial 1,216sqm* E2 Commercial Centre site, with approximately 20 metres* of frontage to Tamworth’s primary retail and hospitality strip.

The asset benefits from immediate proximity to a council-owned car park, accommodating approximately 250 vehicles.

The hotel generates circa $125,000 in weekly revenue*, diversified across bar, bistro and gaming operations. At the time of publication, the venue was ranked #530 in the NSW gaming rankings.

The offering includes 19 very valuable Band 2 Poker Machine Entitlements, operating in conjunction with a valuable 3am liquor licence; underpinning strong late-night trading fundamentals and regulatory scarcity. The business is presented as an immaculate turnkey operation, having recently undergone a comprehensive refurbishment program that has repositioned the venue as one of Tamworth’s leading pub-style food and beverage destinations.

HTL Property Managing Director Andrew Jolliffe noted that the asset offers an attractive blend of operational scale, meaningful regulatory moats; and supportive growth dynamics, all underwriting its long-term competitive positioning.

“Tamworth continues to demonstrate sustained population and economic growth. Assets of this calibre, particularly those benefitting from significant gaming holdings, valuable late-night trade and diversified income streams, are unsurprisingly tightly held and infrequently offered to the market” advised Jolliffe.

Tamworth is recognised as the largest regional centre within the New England region, with a population exceeding 67,000 and a Gross Regional Product of approximately $4.7 billion. The city services a broad and resilient catchment across agriculture, manufacturing, health, education and professional services. Tamworth’s economy is widely regarded as one of the most diverse and sustainable in regional New South Wales.

“The region maintains a strong year-round calendar of major events, attracting more than two million overnight visitors annually. The Tamworth Country Music Festival generates hundreds of thousands of visitor nights each year, while the Australian Equine and Livestock Events Centre (AELEC), featuring a 3,500-seat indoor arena, hosts major national and international equestrian events, camp drafting and rodeo competitions – in addition to trade shows, concerts and sporting fixtures” offered HTL Property Director, Xavier Plunkett.

The broader New England region remains one of the most sought-after regional markets for hoteliers. HTL Property has transacted more than 25 hospitality assets within the region over the past five years, with an aggregate transaction value exceeding $250 million.

The outstanding Courthouse Hotel is being exclusively sold by HTL Property agents Xavier Plunkett, Blake Edwards, Ben Kennedy and Andrew Jolliffe via an Expression of Interest campaign concluding at 4pm on Thursday 26 March, 2026.
