Deltine has been featured in Resort Brokers’ Informer magazine (Issue 116), in a profile that captures not just what we’re building—but why.
The Faces of the Industry feature follows the journey behind Deltine, from its early foundations to the momentum we’re seeing today. More importantly, it highlights the ambition driving what comes next. At the centre of it is a simple but powerful idea: that motels—often overlooked—represent one of the most compelling opportunities in the Australian real estate landscape.
In recent years, the motel sector in Australia has gained renewed attention. Investors are increasingly looking for assets that deliver reliable income. Motels are proving to be a strong alternative to traditional property sectors.
From Experience to Execution: Building Momentum
David Toomey founded Deltine with a clear perspective shaped over decades. He began his career as an auditor in Brisbane. He later worked across global private equity markets.
Throughout that journey, he focused on value, discipline, and performance. Now, he is applying those same principles to the motel sector.
Deltine brings this experience together in a clear strategy. The goal is simple but ambitious—to build Australia’s leading owned and operated motel platform.
That vision is already taking shape. Deltine has secured multiple acquisitions and continues to build a strong pipeline.
The team targets regional and suburban assets with proven demand. In addition, each property must be operational from day one. This approach allows for immediate performance and scalable growth.
At the same time, each acquisition strengthens the broader platform. The strategy is designed to scale. It is also built for consistency.
Looking Ahead
However, this is only the beginning.
The article outlines what comes next. Deltine aims to build a national portfolio of more than 50 motels. Over time, this will form a scaled platform designed to deliver consistent income and long-term value.
As awareness grows, investor interest continues to increase. More investors are now exploring motel investments across Australia. In this environment, Deltine is well positioned to lead.
We are proud to see Deltine recognised in Informer. More importantly, we are excited about what lies ahead.
This feature reflects both progress and potential. It also reinforces our belief in the opportunity within the motel sector.
