'It's a huge opportunity': Aussie pub featured in hit Netflix crime documentary series Last Stop Larrimah up for sale
A notorious Aussie pub which features as the centrepiece location in the hit Netflix series Last Stop Larrimah has hit the market with a substantial price tag.
The Larrimah Hotel, in the Northern Territory, is currently up for sale following the immensely popular two-part series hitting the streaming service in 2023.
The hotel is located off the Stuart Highway about 534 kilometre south of Darwin.
The number 8 Mahoney Street property is listed on Domain for $795,000 due to the owners seeking to retire.
Last Stop Larrimah documents the mysterious disappearance of one of the tiny outback town's residents, Paddy Moriarty, who vanished into thin air revealing a long history of disputes among Larrimah's 11 inhabitants.
The posting boasts 21 bedrooms and 18 bathrooms, and is touted as being 'everything you expect and want' in a 'true blue' Aussie bush pub.
The real estate agent Warren Andrews said 'you have to see it to believe it' as the infamous hotel features an 'endless collection of eclectic 'bits & bobs''.
'From the Pink Panther(s), to the giant Draught Stubbie, to resident Emu's & Crocodiles, this pub is steeped in History & Mystique,' Mr Andrews said in the property listing.
Steve Baldwin, the current owner who bought the pub in 2018, and knew Mr Moriarty, said the town had 'never been in the market' for receiving visitors.
'It's always been passing trade,' he said.
'It was pretty run down. We've spent most of the time cleaning it up… It's 80 per cent renovated – the house. Built as staff accommodation.
'As of Wednesday night, we now have tap beer on. That's the first time in 30 years.'
In another first for the historic pub, pool tables have also been put in.
Domain said Mr Andrews had received interest from potential buyers from across Australia.
'There has been a little bit of Territory interest and interest from Perth and in Queensland,' he said.
The pub owner said the almost four metre crocodile named Agro and the two emus, Elise and Elliot, will stay at the property.
'It's a huge opportunity. The pub isn't expensive. With what's going on in the place… it's going to do very well in the future,' he said.
'The potential buyers are corporates who might want accommodation and food or a young couple with a lot of energy and go and they could do extremely well.'
