Experience the excitement of the ‘the golden age’ in this truly magnificent conversion of Pemberton’s Old Picture Theatre. The restored heritage building, originally constructed as a picture theatre in 1929 now offers 4 luxury self-contained short-stay apartments together with a 3 bedroom cottage that was the original owner’s residence.

The accommodation is full of the richness and warmth of the 1920s in perfect harmony with all the facilities discerning travellers expect, including dishwashers, reverse cycle air conditioning, flat screen TVs, DVD Players, IPod connectivity and free internet.

Guests love staying at the Old Picture theatre for its proximity to all the shops and amenities within the town centre as well as other attractions including the Swimming Pool, Big Brook Dam and the Gloucester Tree. For those who prefer not to cater for themselves, the Hotel, cafes and restaurants are all within easy walking distance.

Since purchasing the Old Picture Theatre the owners have added a 28 solar panel array and were planning further expansion to cater for the increase in visitor demand in the Pemberton area for quality self-catering accommodation.

As one would expect, visitor enquiries come through the internet booking system as well as from people driving past the Old Picture Theatre who are captivated by its charm. Repeat bookings figure strongly and the increasing occupancy provides a sustainable and very comfortable income for the owners of this niche enterprise.

Renewed interest and visitation to the region by Australian holidaymakers and overseas visitors alike is no doubt driven in part by the Southern Forest Food Council’s promotion of the area as well as the change in the value of our dollar. People do come for the trees, experience Pemberton and stay for longer.

If you are looking for a tree change, but didn’t know what you would do for work, opportunities like this only knock once. This would easily suit a working couple, or a fly-in-fly-out family, move straight into the cottage if you want to live on site, what could be easier, your own business and lifestyle in one neat package.
