Built in the 1840’s as a rest stop for travellers on the Geelong-Melbourne road, the Little River BnB has become an icon that is loved by the locals and enjoyed by it’s guests. This single story bluestone building is full of character with a balance of old and new to ensure your stay is a pleasurable one. Copious hours have been spent renovating to restore the residence to it’s former glory and to add additional charm. Being fans of vintage Australiana items, the garden of nostalgia was created to bring back yesteryear. This heritage listed building has possible regional significance as one of the few mid-Victorian period hotels remaining on an historic site occupied by hotels from the 1850’s. The Little River BnB became a part of film history when Mad Max was filmed in Little River. Little River and surrounds feature in other productions such as the Spielberg / Hanks mini series,The Pacific and Nicolas Cage’s Ghost Rider. Recently Kate Winslett and Liam Hemsworth filmed The Dressmaker. Little River also became famous during the 70’s due to a band of musicians that just happened to be driving through. They named their band after the town (The Little River Band).

We love living in Little River - a classic country environment within easy reach of everything! We love to be outside in the outdoors, riding mountain bikes up at the You Yangs and generally pottering around! We are always up to something! We love clearance sales and adding unique historic items to the property that our guests can look at and talk about. These items certainly make you think how far we have all come since the early days (1800's).
