The group opened the hotel in 2015 and announced a AUD 250 million expansion of the hotel and its co-located holiday resort in August 2025. This article explains who owns the hotel, who runs the family group, and how the property fits into the wider portfolio.

Who Owns Sandstone Point Hotel?

The Comiskey Group has owned and operated Sandstone Point Hotel since the venue opened in 2015, acting as both developer and operator of the property. A 2015 Oztix profile describes the Queensland family company in exactly those terms, which means construction, ownership and day-to-day management sit inside the same business rather than being split between an outside owner and a separate management firm.

Moreton Daily, in a profile of director Robert Comiskey, reports that the group bought land at Sandstone Point beside the Bribie Island Bridge in 2010 and opened the hotel on that land in 2015. The site sits opposite Bribie Island; Hotel Management describes it as a coastal hospitality and events venue in the Moreton Bay region.

The group’s official website describes the company as “the visionary team behind the iconic Sandstone Point Hotel and Holiday Resort.” LinkedIn’s Comiskey Group company profile lists the hotel among the group’s most recognised venues, and the group’s own news pages describe it as well known for owning venues including Eatons Hill Hotel and Sandstone Point Hotel.

Comiskey Group as the owner

Every major source reviewed for this article — regional news, industry media, the company’s own website and the directors’ professional profiles — identifies the Comiskey Group as the owner. The group is based in Brisbane’s north, describes its scope as entertainment, hospitality and construction, and states more than 20 years of operations.

Family-operated background

The family involvement predates the 2015 opening. Paul Comiskey founded the group, and Oztix’s 2015 profile put the business at roughly 30 years old at that time, with Paul’s sons David and Robert in the leadership team.

The bottom line: the Comiskey family, through the Comiskey Group, owns Sandstone Point Hotel outright. The hotel is an in-house venue in the family’s portfolio rather than a property run for a third-party owner.

Sandstone Point Hotel at a Glance

Key Facts: Ownership and Operation

• AUD 250 million: the expansion investment announced for Sandstone Point in August 2025.
• More than 20 years: the Comiskey Group’s stated history of family operation.
• Two flagship venues: Eatons Hill Hotel and Sandstone Point Hotel anchor the portfolio, with BIG4 Sandstone Point Holiday Park on the same site.
• Around AUD 200 million: the group’s reported investment in the Moreton Bay region as of early 2023, according to Noosa Today.

What Other Properties Does the Comiskey Group Own?

Sandstone Point Hotel is the group’s coastal flagship, but not its only venue. The Comiskey Group’s own news release about the Beachmere Hotel sale describes the family company as “well-known for owning some of Australia’s most iconic entertainment venues including Eatons Hill Hotel and Sandstone Point Hotel” (Comiskey Group news).

Eatons Hill Hotel

Eatons Hill Hotel, in Brisbane’s north, is the group’s other flagship venue. Regional coverage of the Moreton Bay hospitality sector regularly pairs the two hotels as the group’s best-known properties.

BIG4 Sandstone Point Holiday Park

The holiday park shares the Sandstone Point site with the hotel, carries the BIG4 brand, and is part of the same ownership structure and the same 2025 expansion plan.

Beachmere Hotel (formerly owned)

The group sold Beachmere Hotel after 14 years of ownership, with the property handing over to Venu Hospitality Group on 3 April 2023. The sale means the group’s portfolio changes over time; Sandstone Point Hotel has remained a retained venue since 2015.

Commercial real estate reporting also covered the Comiskey family’s reported $20 million purchase of the Imperial Hotel in Eumundi, and lists Sandstone Point Hotel among the group’s entertainment venues (Commercial Real Estate). A LinkedIn post by industry figure Ross Elliott describes the group as a family business of nearly 700 employees and names additional venues including The Samford Hotel and Dakabin Hotel; those extra properties are not confirmed in the group’s own published materials.

What to watch: the portfolio is not static. The Beachmere sale and the Eumundi acquisition show a family group that adds and exits venues over time, while Sandstone Point Hotel has remained a retained flagship since 2015.

Who Owns BIG4 Sandstone Point?

BIG4 Sandstone Point Holiday Park is owned by the same family group. Rob Comiskey’s LinkedIn profile identifies him as co-founder and director of the Comiskey Group, which he describes as a family-owned company owning and operating Sandstone Point Hotel and its holiday park. The hotel and the BIG4-branded park operate as one property on the same Sandstone Point land, and the AUD 250 million redevelopment plan covers both.

The BIG4 name appears on the park as a brand affiliation; ownership of the Sandstone Point property itself sits with the Comiskey Group, according to the same LinkedIn profile.

The pattern: the hotel and holiday park are two products on one family-owned site, which is why the redevelopment announcement refers to the combined Sandstone Point Hotel and Holiday Resort.

Who Are the Comiskey Group Owners?

Robert (Rob) Comiskey — co-founder and director

Rob Comiskey publicly identifies as a co-founder and director of Comiskey Group. In a 2025 LinkedIn post, he describes Sandstone Point Hotel as a venue he built with his father Paul and his brother David as a family business effort.

David Comiskey — director and equal owner

In the same post, Rob states that David is an equal owner in the group (Rob Comiskey on LinkedIn). Sunshine Coast News also names David and Robert as the directors of the family company behind venues including Sandstone Point Hotel (Sunshine Coast News).

Paul Comiskey founded the group, and Oztix’s 2015 profile described the business as run by Paul, David and Robert in a three-way leadership team. Rob’s LinkedIn post frames the hotel as a project the family built together.

Why this matters: the names in public sources are consistent — Paul founded the group, David and Rob direct it, and the family collectively owns the venues through the Comiskey Group.
