It’s always a perfect time to stay at the Little River B & B. Warm summer evenings out under the verandah, cold nights in front of a roaring fire, a bar to suit all tastes and a fully cooked breakfast when you wake. With two new beautifully fitted out King and Queen size guest rooms, each with own ensuite, you are sure to enjoy yourselves.

The Little River B & B is a unique historical property built in the 1870’s which operated as the local hotel for over 100 years. It has been used in several TV shows and movies such as the original Mad Max movie and more recently the 2007 Make Poverty History campaign.
