HTL Offers a Second Chance for The Sapphire Coast

Hot on the heels of the recent successful Narooma Hotel sale to maverick publican Ned Kelly, HTL is pleased to announce the upcoming sale of another outstanding hotel asset on the NSW Sapphire Coast; in the form of the Moruya Waterfront Hotel.

Moruya is a picturesque coastal town located between Bateman’s Bay and Narooma, on the banks of the fertile Moruya River.

The popular venue is a freehold going concern hotel and motel featuring a bar, bistro, gaming room, 22 motel rooms, bottle shop, and a sprawling riverside beer garden. Perched upon a 5,422m2 allotment with expansive views up and down the Moruya River, the community meeting point also enjoys a vista over the nearby hinterland. The venue is favoured by a 2am liquor licence Monday to Saturday, and operates 8 valuable gaming machine entitlements attached to the hotel licence.

“There are not very many truly waterside hotels for sale, ever; especially ones with such amazing views and complemented by a broad trading platform” commented HTL Property Director, Blake Edwards.

Elsewhere, construction has now begun on the new $330m Eurobodalla Hospital, which is located in Moruya and due to be completed in 2027. Located only a very short drive from the hotel, the state of the art facility will undoubtedly generate huge demand for proximate accommodation both during its construction stage and once completed.

“With volumes of raw potential, and consequent clear upside; the property enjoys great intrinsic value and is underwritten by its premium location in an idyllic part of the state” Edwards concluded.

The rapid recovery in the value of NSW gaming entitlements, and robust value of the hotel’s accommodation facility and commercial property allotment; will mean that the economics of this opportunity should also suit buyers looking to secure a future supply of gaming machine entitlements.

“For a myriad of reasons, this unique waterfront asset will represent excellent buying to whoever is successful in securing it” Edwards continued.

The sale is being exclusively managed by HTL’s Blake Edwards and Ben Kennedy, and is to be sold via an on market Expression of Interest sale program concluding at 12pm on 17 March, 2026 – if not sold prior.

End.
