Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise and Barry Humphries are among well-known names who have dined at Chris’s Beacon Point over its 45-year history.

Both the freehold and the business, which includes nine modern accommodation villas in bushland with spectacular views over Bass Strait, are being offered for sale.

Chris’ partner, Penny Kernick, who also cooked at Chris’s and will retire as well, said Chris’ “greatest wish [was] that [the restaurant] will continue under someone else’s inspiration and energy.”

For now, the successful business will continue to trade as normal heading into the busy summer season.

Century 21, Point Cook listing agent Warren Hulstaert has set a $4 million to $4.4 million price guide on the property.
