Restyled hotel for Pilbara beach resort
Western Australia’s Complete Group managing director Emanuel Dillon has announced the company has bought the Beadon Bay Hotel at Onslow for about $5 million and would spend about $11 million to restore the heritage-listed pub and build additional accommodation, with 80 rooms planned.
Onslow is a coastal town in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, 1386km north of Perth and the hotel was built in 1924.
Mr Dillon said it was a beautiful building but it was in disrepair, “It needs to be re-roofed, rewired, and reconfigured completely,” he said. “We want to bring it back and make it a centre point of the town. And bring a little of Perth to Onslow.”
The Complete Group last year bought the Spinifex Hotel in Derby and remodelled it. Mr Dillon said it was good to take something run down like their Derby hotel, fix the building and turn around the business.
Mr Dillon said work would start next month. “The modular buildings will be built in Perth and we hope to be able to employ locals for the construction,” he said.
