The business opportunity The York Motel is number one on Tripadvisor for York and has a 9.1 customer rating. It is the place to stay when you come to York and attracts a variety of guests from families, singles, corporate groups and workers on the road. In particular, there is ample room to park and turn trucks, which is a great feature for truckies passing through and staying overnight. Easy access to keys during the evening makes it easy to cater to late night arrivals.

The owners close the facilities and take holidays several times a year, so it runs at around 70 per cent occupancy, but it can be run year round if you choose. And while there are eight units at present, the 4,268sqm site can take up to 26 units and you have the potential to expand the business, subject to the relevant approvals.

To the rear of the property is a compound with water and power connected, where a caravan can be parked if you have family or friends drop by. You could speak to the council about using this for extra income-producing accommodation. The motel will be sold as a going concern with all plant and equipment. Financials are available on request.
