Eureka doubles down in WA

The Geraldton holiday park has direct beach access.
Eureka is paying $16.8 million for the Sunset Beach property.

Eureka Group Holdings has secured its second Western Australian tourist park in a month.

The ASX-listed rental housing operator has agreed to pay $16.8 million for Sunset Beach Holiday Park at 4 Bosley Street, Sunset Beach, seven kilometres north of Geraldton.

The price reflects a 10 per cent ingoing yield including transaction costs.

On 4.05 hectares held under a Crown lease, with direct beach access, it contains 245 sites – a mix of permanent homes, cabins, motel rooms and powered caravan and camping sites – and recreation facilities.

Eureka plans to build out the park’s residential component – the property is permitted for 58 more land-lease home sites. Thirty are fully serviced. Upon completion, the asset will then have 104 permanent manufactured-home sites.

Settlement is scheduled in September.

The Geraldton deal comes a week since Eureka bought the Mandurah Coastal Holiday Park for $18.4m, from Equinox (continues below).

That property was permit-ready for 66 more land-lease or long-term rental homes.

This week we reported the company bought The Lakes Holiday Park, in Townsville.

That outlay was $6.75m.

Eureka has been building its all-age portfolio alongside its established seniors’ rental business, targeting regional markets where housing supply is constrained.

Geraldton is about 420 kilometres north of Perth’s CBD.
