Little River Bed and Breakfast

Description

The Little River Bed & Breakfast is located approximately 40 minutes drive from Melbourne and 30 minutes drive to Geelong, just off the Princes Freeway. Avalon airport is a short 8 minute drive away.

Surrounded by fields, rivers and the picturesque You Yangs mountain range, the Little River Bed & Breakfast provides quick and easy access to Geelong and Melbourne and surrounding suburbs. The property is set on a large one-and-a-quarter acre block.

Travellers who stay at the Little River Bed & Breakfast will enjoy heritage accommodation with open wood fire heating, colour television and breakfast included. Property facilities include a car park and kitchen, and the local hotel is also situated next door for meals.

The township of Little River was the inspiration for the name of a popular band in the early seventies – “The Little River Band”. The Little River Bed & Breakfast itself was also used as a set in the film \"Mad Max\", as the Toecutters pub. Yet despite its busy history, Little River remains a small, semi rural township surrounded by fields, the Little River and the picturesque You Yangs.

Little River came into existence in the 1850s after the Melbourne – Geelong railway was established. Farmers had the benefit of large tracts of land for grazing and beef, wool and dairy farming which were the principal business activities for many years. Hotels were built to service passing travelers and by 1865 the town had three hotels and a mechanics institute. In total five hotels were in existence in the 1860s, only one remains – the Old Little River Hotel, now known as the Little River Bed & Breakfast located on Flinders Street .
