The storm left a severe financial impact on many hospitality venues across Queensland, including Sandstone Point Hotel, one of Comiskey Group’s venues. The pub suffered a sharp decline in occupancy rates and experienced cancellations amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Now, more than a week later, the region has made a swift recovery. Cleanup efforts have been completed, power has been restored in most areas, and businesses are once again ready to welcome guests. Accommodation providers, restaurants, and entertainment venues are fully operational, ensuring that visitors can still enjoy the experiences that make Sandstone Point a popular destination.
A Destination Ready to Welcome Guests
According to Rob Comiskey, Director at Comiskey Group, the hotel is open and looks great, and visitors can expect the same high-quality experience as before. The team assured travellers that the resort and surrounding attractions are fully prepared to offer their usual standard of hospitality and entertainment.
Tourism is a key driver of Moreton Bay’s economy, with many small, family-run businesses relying on a steady stream of visitors. The recent downturn has been a challenge, but local operators are optimistic about a strong rebound. With Easter fast approaching, they are urging travellers to honour their bookings and consider planning new visits to help boost the local economy.

Beyond the financial impact, the region remains as inviting as ever. The stunning coastline, vibrant hospitality scene, and well-loved attractions continue to offer an excellent getaway for families, couples, and solo travellers alike. The message from local businesses is clear: Moreton Bay is open, thriving, and ready to welcome visitors once more.
By keeping their travel plans, visitors play a crucial role in supporting the recovery of Sandstone Point and the wider region. Now is the perfect time to explore, relax, and be part of the resurgence of one of Queensland’s most cherished holiday destinations.
