Burnett Riverside Motel — Bundaberg, QLD

Burnett Riverside Motel serves the Wide Bay region from Bundaberg — the city whose agricultural industry produces the sugar, macadamias, vegetables, avocados, and horticultural crops that the Bundaberg brand represents nationally. The surrounding farms, processing facilities, and supply-chain businesses sustain the employment base alongside the healthcare services that the Bundaberg Base Hospital provides as the Wide Bay's regional referral centre and the tourism market that the city's combination of natural and industrial attractions generates year-round.

The Bundaberg Market

The agricultural sector dominates the regional economy — the sugar mills whose crushing season runs from June through November, the macadamia orchards whose harvest the processing facilities handle, the vegetable farms whose horticultural output the domestic and export markets consume. The agricultural economy generates the agribusiness visits, the financial-services consultations, the regulatory inspections, and the supply-chain professional travel that the accommodation demand reflects. Bundaberg Base Hospital serves as the regional referral centre — the healthcare facility whose workforce requirements generate the locum, the agency-nurse, and the specialist-consultant accommodation demand. The Mon Repos Turtle Centre provides the loggerhead turtle nesting experience from November through March. Lady Musgrave Island provides the Southern Great Barrier Reef access. The Bundaberg Rum Distillery provides the industrial-heritage tourism that the brand's national recognition attracts.

Property Features

The Burnett River flows through the city, and the motel's riverside location provides the waterfront setting that the property's name identifies and that the evening atmosphere the river creates enhances. Self-contained rooms with kitchenette, pool, guest laundry. Corporate accounts serve the agricultural businesses, the healthcare agencies, the government departments, and the construction firms whose Wide Bay operations require the accommodation with the compliant invoicing and the direct billing that the corporate relationship provides. Government-compliant invoicing. Weekly rates for extended placements. The Travellers Standard quality maintained across the property.

Bundaberg sits on the Bruce Highway 360 kilometres north of Brisbane and 330 kilometres south of Rockhampton — the midpoint position on the Queensland coast that makes the city the overnight stop for the highway traveller and the regional base for the surrounding agricultural and coastal economy.
