Matso’s Brewery – iconic eumundi freehold investment
Ray White Commercial Northern Corridor Group is pleased to present the freehold investment opportunity of Matso’s Brewery in Eumundi, one of the Sunshine Coast’s most iconic hospitality assets.
Formerly Joe’s Waterhole, a historic Queensland pub dating back to 1891, the property underwent a $7.5 million transformation before reopening in December 2023. This investment has delivered premium infrastructure and modern facilities, underpinning a secure, long-term opportunity.
Matso’s Brewery is part of one of Australia’s largest independent brewing entities, which has been operating for over 20 years. Originally from Western Australia, the company is behind Australia’s #1 Independent Craft Beer Brand (Gage Roads) and Australia’s #1 Independent Ginger Beer Brand (Matso’s). Founded in Broome in 1997, Matso’s is credited as Australia’s first alcoholic ginger beer, which has since developed a strong national following.
Beyond its own brands, the business also sells and distributes major licensed brands such as Coors, Millers, Miller Chill, San Miguel, Magners Cider, and Rekorderlig Cider—bringing significant scale to its operations. As part of its national marketing strategy, the company has focused on creating iconic and unique branded hospitality experiences across Australia, with Matso’s Sunshine Coast following in the footsteps of its successful venues in Broome and Fremantle.
Situated on a 3,474m2* site in the heart of Eumundi, opposite the famous Eumundi Markets, the property enjoys prime exposure and high foot traffic. Just 25 minutes from Sunshine Coast Airport, Maroochydore CBD, and Noosa, this landmark venue offers a rare, set-and-forget investment.
Offered for sale by negotiation. Contact the exclusive marketing agents at Ray White Commercial Northern Corridor Group for further details.

The Japanese kanji symbol in the Matso’s logo has several meanings:
To Store – represents the original building “Matsumoto’s General Store” (later shortened to Matso’s Store) the original brewery in Broome.
To Live – In Matso’s terms, this represents the spirit of the freedom and living life to the fullest!
Raw – as in raw and natural ingredients in their flavourful drinks!

OVERVIEW
sunshine coast.
An hour north of Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast stretching from Caloundra in the south through to Noosa/Tewantin in the north and incorporating hinterland townships to the west in between, covers an area of approximately 2,291 square kilometres with 60 kilometres of spectacular open coastline.
The Sunshine Coast is Australia’s 9th largest population centre (as of June 2021) and 5th largest in the state, with a population growth outpacing most of the nation, and one of the fastest growing regional economies.
Not only diverse geographically with stunning beaches, verdant agricultural farmland, and mountain ranges including the iconic Glass House Mountains; the economy is also diverse consisting of a variety of industries covering medical, education, technology, tourism/hospitality, finance, farming/agriculture, retail, and industrial.
Over the past several years there has been billions of dollars’ worth of investment poured into the region from both the public and private sectors, with projects including airport expansion, the building of the public and private university hospitals and health hub, SunCentral CBD in Maroochydore, the city of Aura in Caloundra South, submarine broadband connection providing fastest connection to Asia from the east coast, Bruce Highway upgrade, multiple new housing estates and associated infrastructure including schools and sporting facilities, industrial parks and more.
The Sunshine Coast comes under the governance of two local councils – the Sunshine Coast Regional Council covering the southern to central suburbs, and Noosa Shire Council. There is good connectivity across the region via road networks, rail through the hinterland townships, and bus; and the Sunshine Coast Airport now has a second runway and is open to international travel (now Australia’s fastest growing airport (traffic-wise).
With the 2032 Olympics being held in southeast Queensland, there will be an acceleration in investment in this region, particularly in and around transport, including possible rail upgrades providing line duplication for fast rail and there is also a proposal in place for a light rail coastal service.

sunshine coast drivers.
The Sunshine Coast has been the beneficiary of a perfect storm of tail-wind market conditions in the last five years. The population shift from less affordable southern markets, combined with more flexible work arrangements and a prioritisation on lifestyle has put the Sunshine Coast in the absolute sweet spot for young family domestic migration.
The Sunshine Coast Council has prioritised investment into “Third Space” community and lifestyle spaces in key hubs like Eumundi, which has attracted further private investment. The result is a thriving “Live, Work Play” community that is attracting a young, active affluent demographic as well as the businesses that service and employ them.
