Quest Whyalla Servicing Tenacious Growth
South Australia’s $11 million Quest Whyalla property was officially unveiled last week by Lyn Breuer, state member for Giles, in recognition of the region’s ongoing growth.
Andrew Weisz, general manager – locations, Quest Serviced Apartments highlighted the partnership with the South Australian Tourism Commission as key to getting the project off the ground. “We worked closely with the South Australian Tourism Commission from the project’s inception – looking at the area, the current market and the future growth. There is a large, undersupplied market here – drawn by the long term development of the resource industry, and the subsequent significant infrastructure investment,” Mr Weisz said.
The 4½-star property is centrally located on the corner of Moran and Ian Streets in close proximity to the airport, Westlands Shopping Centre and Civic Park.
Quest Whyalla Franchisees Jennifer McDonnell and Daniel Wilson said they are pleased to be opening their second Quest property in the area because of the strong demand for quality self-contained accommodation in Whyalla. “We have seen the ongoing rise in demand from extended stay business travellers through our time as Franchisees at Quest Whyalla Playford. More and more people are coming to Whyalla to work and base themselves here for extended periods. The support from the local community for our second venture, catering to this growth, has been exceptional” Ms McDonnell said.
Quest Whyalla has 56 studio, one and two bedroom apartments. Each apartment is fully equipped with kitchen and laundry facilities, Austar, WiFi and multi unit desk chargers. Studios have kitchenettes and access to laundry facilities.
