Bowen Caravan Park

A beachfront Bowen caravan park has sold for $4.6 million proving the Whitsundays town in which the movie Australia was filmed still holds immense appeal.

ResortBrokers Townsville & Surrounds Broker Des Fagg has sold to interstate buyers the Harbour Lights Caravan Park with its 89 powered sites and 49 cabins from budget to deluxe, along Santa Barbara Parade.

 “The owners had this property for 25 years and that is a long time in this game,” Mr Fagg says.

 “There is quite a lot of selling activity in Bowen at present in both the motel and caravan park space, particularly from the mum and dad investor.

 “With talk of a space centre being built in Bowen mid this year or early next year, interest in this Whitsundays destination is high.”

 The property, which enjoys increased annual turnover, includes a swimming pool, barbecue area, free wifi, camp kitchen, solar power and three amenity blocks as well as solar power to reduce electricity consumption.

According to RealEstate.com.au’s 2021 Suburb Report Card, demand for houses in Bowen grew by 95 per cent and units by 74 per cent in the past year.
