Settlers Tavern – Leasehold Opportunity Including Drive-through Bottle Shop

CRE Brokers are pleased to present the leasehold opportunity of the Settlers Tavern, a well-established hotel located in Tawonga South.

Prominently positioned on the Kiewa Valley Highway, the hotel benefits from excellent exposure and strong passing traffic, making it a highly visible and accessible venue for both locals and visitors to the region. Constructed in 1985, the Settlers Tavern is well configured to service a broad customer base and offers an extensive range of facilities.

The hotel features a 100-seat bistro, a spacious public bar, three beer gardens and outdoor dining areas, two private function spaces, and a children's playground, providing flexibility for everyday trade, events, and family-friendly dining.

A key point of difference is the on-site Thirsty Camel drive-through bottle shop, the only drive-through bottle shop in the local area, delivering a strong supplementary income stream.

Located in the scenic Kiewa Valley at the gateway to Mount Beauty and the Falls Creek snowfields, the business benefits from consistent year-round trade supported by alpine tourism, outdoor recreation, and a loyal local customer base.

The Settlers Tavern demonstrates solid and consistent trading performance across multiple revenue streams, underpinned by a favourable lease structure with a low rental. This represents an attractive opportunity for an experienced operator to acquire a proven regional hotel with further scope to optimise operations and performance.

Key Highlights;
• High-profile Kiewa Valley Highway location
• Strong year-round tourism and local patronage
• Multiple income streams including drive-through bottle shop
• Extensive hotel facilities with flexible trading options

A well-established regional hotel offering stability, visibility, and long-term potential.
