On tall pod legs with a hint of dalek in their demeanour, the Silos at Little River stand clustered together on the side of the road in all their eye-catching glory.

On a grey day they stand out in their uniqueness. On a clear day they truly gleam. Row upon row of corrugation catch the sun in curious ways. Ripples of reflection and colour from the surrounding countryside bounce off the towers. Cars speed by then brakes go on; cars back up; passers-by step out; cellphones snap photos. Some even wander along the board-walks. Only the fortunate few who have booked a pod will see inside.

The interiors of the Silos at Little River are the pinnacle of bespoke design. Every detail has been investigated, considered, and usually reinvented. New and original design has provided the solution. Industrial objects have been taken, adapted and given fascinating new purpose.  Light switches, kitchen benches, bicycle stackers, window openers,  toilet fixtures, folded metal staircases, bathroom fittings   - all absolutely original and unique. When you are paving the way, off the shelf does not exist as an option.


In a setting of silver corrugation and ply, the colours used are strikingly pure. The subtle use of coloured lighting adds one more layer of surprise as patches of reds, blues, and purples bounce around the interior walls.

 The bedroom is unforgettable with its overhead opening skylight, its beautiful linen, its spacious bed. The ensuite is the piece de resistance as glass meets stainless steel meets corrugated metal. The end result is breathtaking.

These silos are an ultra-modern state of the art excellence. You will never stay anywhere like this. Anywhere.
