This iconic federation style hotel sits in the quiet rural village of Rappville.
The history of the village traces back to the original timber getters of the Northern Rivers, evolving over time into todays cattle grazing operation.
The current owners Lisa & Colin have given the 113-year-old pub a new life transforming it into one of the most sought after destinations in the Northern Rivers. Since purchasing the hotel they have renovated and installed an extensive commercial kitchen.
The Whistle Stop Café Restaurant is consistently booked out most weekends with travellers and day trippers making the trip from the Coast.
The current owners have brought the hotel to a noticeable standard, leaving ample opportunity for the next owner to elevate it even further.
Under the current ownership, renovations have commenced on the upstairs rooms as well as the addition of a cocktail bar. This presents an opportunity to include accommodation in the next package
