Silkwood, QLD 4856

This property is the Freehold Silkwood Hotel, locally known as the Silky, a grand and character-filled North Queensland hotel offering true country charm. The hotel is a classic Queenslander style building featuring original hardwood floorboards and high ceilings that create an authentic Australian pub atmosphere.

The accommodation includes nine bedrooms upstairs, each equipped with air conditioning and opening onto 3-meter wide tropical verandahs. Additionally, there is a two-bedroom manager's residence that can be rented out either permanently or as nightly accommodation. The hotel contains nine bathrooms distributed throughout the building, multiple communal areas, and an exclusive upstairs verandah for in-house guests.

The commercial kitchen is immaculate and fitted with new appliances, capable of serving traditional country meals in a fast-paced hotel environment. The property is set on a 1647 square meter block with dual street access, providing ample space for caravans or camping.

The venue is well-known for hosting large bands, weddings, and functions, with a strong local daily patronage and live music on weekends. It features a tropical beer garden and relaxing outdoor areas that embody the classic old pub feel, which is increasingly rare.

The hotel holds a license for catering to outside venues across Queensland, allowing the Silky to be brought to external functions. The main front bar offers eight beers on tap, complemented by a rear can bar designed for busy functions and live band events. The white table-clothed dining area has seating capacity for 60 guests.

There is a vacant renovated shop space available for additional income opportunities, suitable for a bottle shop, brewery, distillery, or gaming machines (virtually staged). The hotel currently operates Keno, with potential for expansion of gaming machines for new owners.

Technical infrastructure includes three-phase power on two meters, a backup 40 KVA generator, a 15 KW solar system, and town water supply. Profit and loss figures and further details are available upon request for qualified buyers.
