Kellys Motel offers an established 11-room freehold operation on a substantial 3,030sqm landholding in the centre of Oakey, complete with a three-bedroom owner's residence and practical drive-up configuration. The business is underpinned by consistent regional demand from RAAF Base Oakey, Oakey Beef Exports, agricultural contractors, transport operators and Toowoomba overflow, while current trading levels leave considerable scope to increase occupancy and revenue through hands-on management, selective refurbishment, tariff optimisation and stronger online distribution.
