Pub & Accommodation Package! Live. Work. Invest. Expand.

An exceptional commercial investment awaits with the Willaura Hotel - a landmark property offering a unique blend of hospitality, accommodation, and development potential in the heart of regional Victoria. Established in 1916, this iconic venue presents a rare chance to revitalise and re=open a country pub or diversify into the short-stay and workforce accommodation sectors.
The substantial hotel premises feature a classic public bar (requiring some refurbishment), multiple lounge and dining areas, guest rooms, staff amenities, a fully operational commercial kitchen, and an expansive outdoor entertainment zone - ready to be activated for events or seasonal trade. The property was recently held by a major corporate entity, which invested significantly in infrastructure upgrades to ensure modern functionality and comfort throughout.
Enhancing the accommodation offer are four high-quality, 8-bedroom dongas - 32 ensuited rooms in total - each with private bathrooms and air conditioning. Elevated and wrapped in hardwood verandahs, these units are designed for privacy, comfort, and long-term durability. Concrete walkways, external lighting, and safety railings provide a professional finish suitable for workforce housing, group bookings, or tourist rentals.
Additional improvements include:
Two standalone laundry blocks

Multiple secure storage areas

Expansive 3,523sqm site with ample off-street parking

Scope for outdoor functions, caravan parking, or further development (STCA)

Positioned centrally within Willaura, this versatile asset is ideal for hospitality operators, investor syndicates, accommodation providers, or businesses seeking regional staff housing. With outstanding infrastructure already in place and flexible zoning potential, this is a turnkey opportunity with substantial upside.
