Renovated Hotel in Renowned Tourist Destination Sells

Savills Australia and New Zealand is pleased to announce the sale of the Barron Falls Hotel in Kuranda, Queensland, facilitated through an off-market process. The previous owners, Don and Shalene Little, have dedicated over eleven years to operating the venue, building a strong reputation and a loyal following within the community.

The transaction follows a series of successful sales in the region last year, including the Union Jack Hotel & The Jack House, Raintrees Tavern (lease), and the Hambledon Hotel, further demonstrating the strong demand for quality hospitality assets in Far North Queensland. 

Located at 30-34 Coondoo Street, Kuranda, Barron Falls Hotel occupies a substantial 3,030 sqm corner site*, strategically positioned in the heart of this renowned tourist destination.

Approximately 28 kilometres* northwest of Cairns, Kuranda is a picturesque town surrounded by lush tropical rainforest, in the Wet Tropics of Queensland’s World Heritage Area.

It is a popular gateway for visitors exploring the region’s natural attractions, including the world-famous Barron Falls and Barron Gorge National Park. Easily accessible via the Kuranda Range Road, Kuranda Scenic Railway, or Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, the town attracts a steady flow of domestic and international visitors.

Barron Falls Hotel has long been a cornerstone of Kuranda’s hospitality scene, offering a relaxed and welcoming environment for locals and tourists alike. The property features a traditional pub-style venue, including a bistro, sports bar, beer garden and gaming room (25 EGMs), catering to both the town’s residents and its strong tourist market.
