Construction underway for Quest Bairnsdale

Construction is well underway on the new Quest Bairnsdale in Dalmahoy Street, with the AU$40 million mixed-use property on track for opening by June or July of next year.

Key representatives from Quest Apartment Hotels, as well as developers Dahlsens and BFN Developments (BFN are also the Builder) and architects from the Fenton Design Group, gathered on site today, 10th October, for a project update on the milestone development.

David Mansfield, managing director of The Ascott Limited Australasia which will eventually manage the property, remarked: “We’re delighted to mark another key milestone in Quest Apartment Hotels’s ongoing growth, with construction of Quest Bairnsdale now underway. The Gippsland region is experiencing extraordinary growth, and Quest is delighted to be supporting that demand through the provision of exceptional hospitality experiences.”

An increasingly popular destination

Current statistics from Tourism Research Australia show that East Gippsland’s visitor numbers increased by 26 percent over the past year, welcoming an estimated 1.71 million visitors, the highest figure ever recorded in its history.

As such, Quest Bairnsdale will not only contribute to the local economy but also set a new standard for luxury and convenience. 

Mansfield said: “We are excited about the opportunities it brings for our guests and the local community. Our goal remains to achieve significant growth targets under the ‘2030 growth strategy,’ aiming to reach over 200 Quest properties and 30 managed hotels by the end of the decade.”

Ample space for a growing number of travellers

Quest Bairnsdale will feature a three-storey, 60-room building, made up of 30 studio rooms, 24 one-bedroom units, and six two-bedroom units.

As of press time, work has been progressing rapidly and now covers up to the third floor of the structure. 

This latest project, which will add much-needed accommodation to the picturesque East Gippsland region, is a testament to Quest’s ongoing expansion and commitment to providing top-tier accommodation across Australia.
