The Lighthouse Hotel

What The Lighthouse Hotel does

The Lighthouse Hotel is a single-site, multi-outlet hospitality venue located in Ulverstone on Tasmania's north-west coast, operated under The Goodstone Group, an Australian hospitality conglomerate managing approximately 14 venues across Tasmania. The venue integrates a full-service bistro, a public bar, a cocktail bar, Oasis gaming lounges (Keno, Tote, TAB, TASkeno, Sportspick), function and meeting facilities (Trade Winds Meeting Room and Mezzanine), and on-site accommodation with newly renovated rooms.

The venue is open seven days a week across breakfast, lunch, and dinner service and serves a diverse consumer base — families with children (via Goody's Playhouse and a Kids Dine Free promotion), seniors (Seniors Card discount and a $25 meal deal), local bar patrons (gaming, sports viewing, 8 Ball, weekly Happy Hours), coastal travellers seeking Tasmanian produce, and corporate/event clients using function and accommodation packages. Pricing is unit-based with pay-as-you-go billing, anchored by $25 meal deals across multiple dayparts and segments.

The underlying technology stack is conventional hospitality tooling rather than proprietary technology: NowBookIt for online table reservations, government-regulated TAB/TASkeno gaming systems, Sportspick for punters' clubs and footy tipping, and a standard CMS-driven website. Distribution is single-country/domestic through walk-in traffic, online table bookings, direct function enquiries, and a free Members loyalty program launched to drive repeat visitation. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and ownership is privately held under The Goodstone Group with no venture capital, private equity, or public listing involvement.

• The Formby Hotel (Goodstone Group): Another Goodstone Group venue combining accommodation, bistro, bar, and gaming in regional Tasmania. Direct internal peer with the same ownership, systems, and operating playbook.
• The Atlantic Hotel Ulverstone: Another pub/hotel operating in Ulverstone, Tasmania. Direct local competitor across food, beverage, gaming, and accommodation in the same catchment.
• The Neptune Grand Hotel: Sister Goodstone Group venue offering pub, bistro, gaming, and accommodation in northern Tasmania. Direct internal comparable on operating model, gaming mix, and parent-group economics.
