“Gustavo and I were working as Learning and Development Managers for Quest, training new Franchisees on operating a Quest Apartment Hotel business. During this time, it became apparent that being a Quest Franchisee was an excellent opportunity for us, particularly the benefits of managing a successful business and being your own boss,” O’Hare said.

“We are so excited to be officially opening Quest Port Adelaide today. It is such an amazing opportunity, now and for the future, to be part of the city’s largest major development in 45 years, revitalising a once thriving commercial and social hub of the state. Thank you so much to Zed Sanjana, Premier Weatherill and Chad Cornes for joining us to celebrate this momentous occasion,” he said.

South Australian Premier, Jay Weatherill, welcomed Quest’s investment in South Australia and said it was an endorsement of the state’s growing tourism industry.

“This exciting project represents a vote of confidence in South Australia. It is further evidence, bricks and mortar evidence, that Port Adelaide has a bright future and that our visitor economy is thriving,

“This is a striking piece of architecture and a nice addition to the immediate surroundings. This new building anticipates the strong growth set to occur in Port Adelaide – especially in sectors like health care, defence, education and training, transport and retail,” Weatherill said.

Located at 36 North Parade, Port Adelaide, the property is within walking distance of the South Australian Maritime Museum, National Railway Museum and the South Australian Aviation Museum, with easy access to Osborne, West Lakes and the Techport precinct.
