Australian Hotel with visitors like Crocs and snakes is on Sale

The 88-year-old Grove Hill Hotel is located on a red dirt road about two hours' drive south of Darwin in the densely populated and tropical Northern Territory of outback Australia.

The hotel is made up of tin and steel with the walls open allowing breeze to enter and cool down the temperature while the guests enjoys the drink.

"The hotel is a fairly unique hotel, it was built in 1934," said Stan Haeusler, 78, who has run it for the last 12 years with his wife, Mary. "The floor is made up of concrete, they found it down in the bush and carried it back and laid it back down,"

Haeusler decided to sell the hotel after his wife died last month.

The interiors of the hotel includes wooden shelves lined up with beer bottles, colorful tins of food, with old signs nailed up behind the timber bar, and a picture of Elvis Presley on the top of the refrigerator.

There are no neighbors' around the hotel and the location is almost 112 miles away from the nearest city.

The hotel opens from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. every day of the year where the thirsty miners from the nearby site sit and relax with a cold beer after a long tough night.

"Six a.m. is when the miners change over, so they come down and have a drink," said the grey-bearded Haeusler.

People who are willing to buy this property with a unique guest list only have to pay $ 735,000.

That unique guest lists include creatures of the reptile family.

"Occasionally freshwater crocs and some come up from the river just two kilometers away," Haeusler told Reuters. "The visitors get a fright when they move, because you think it's a statue first off."

He also said that there are non-poisonous pythons also that comes around many times, "they eat all my ducks and chooks (chickens) and what not," he said.
