An opportunity exists to acquire one of Port Douglas’ best known and most highly reviewed hospitality businesses.

The Little Red Kitchen has earned an outstanding reputation amongst both locals and visitors, becoming a popular destination for quality coffee, fresh cuisine and relaxed tropical dining. Supported by hundreds of positive online reviews and a strong TripAdvisor presence, the business enjoys a loyal customer base and exceptional brand recognition within one of Australia’s premier tourism destinations.

Strategically positioned in the heart of Port Douglas, the business benefits from year round tourism generated by the Great Barrier Reef, Daintree Rainforest and the broader Tropical North Queensland region. Directly connected to Le Cher Du Monde, one of Port Douglas’ established accommodation resorts, the café occupies a unique position within the local hospitality market. Resort guests can walk directly from the complex into the café, creating a valuable source of repeat patronage whilst complementing the strong local and visitor trade generated throughout the town.

Occupying approximately 160sqm, the premises provides a generous combination of customer and operational space, including approximately 80sqm dedicated to dining and customer seating. The venue comfortably accommodates around 45 patrons across a mix of dining tables and bar seating, creating a welcoming atmosphere suited to breakfast, brunch and lunch service. The layout is further complemented by two customer amenities, a dedicated storage room and substantial back of house facilities, supporting efficient day to day operations.

Currently trading from 7:30am to 2:00pm, Tuesday through Sunday, the business has been deliberately structured around a daytime trading model, delivering an attractive lifestyle operation for the current owners. Importantly, the lease permits operation as a licensed restaurant from 10:00am until 9:00pm daily, providing flexibility for future operators to extend trading hours, introduce evening dining or further develop the existing concept.

The business is offered fully furnished and equipped, allowing a seamless transition for incoming ownership. Included is an extensive inventory of quality plant and equipment, featuring premium coffee machinery, commercial refrigeration and freezer systems, walk in cool room, commercial cooking appliances, ice machine, dishwasher, display refrigeration and complete dining furniture.

Lease highlights include:

• Rent: $38,838 per annum plus GST

• Approximately $3,236.50 per month plus GST

• Outgoings: Approximately $151 per week

• Annual CPI rent reviews

• Licensed Restaurant use

• Secure lease in place until January 2028

Port Douglas continues to attract hundreds of thousands of visitors annually as the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest, providing a strong foundation for hospitality businesses operating within the region. Combining an established reputation, quality infrastructure, attractive lease terms and a prime location, The Little Red Kitchen presents an outstanding opportunity for owner operators, hospitality professionals or entrepreneurs seeking a foothold in one of Tropical North Queensland’s most recognised tourism markets.
