Standing proudly on Randell Street overlooking the Murray River, the Mannum Hotel has been part of the town’s story for well over a century. Built in 1869, the hotel originally traded as the Bogan Hotel and quickly became a vital stop for riverboat travellers, workers, and locals moving through the busy port town.

 In its early years, the hotel wasn’t just somewhere to grab a meal or a bed — it was a true community hub. The building even played a role in Mannum’s civic beginnings, hosting the first District Council meeting in 1877 when the town was still growing around river trade and paddle steamers. Over time, as transport shifted from riverboats to roads, the hotel evolved with the town. Accommodation paused in the 1980s, then returned in 2001 following extensive renovations to meet the needs of a growing tourism scene along the Murray.
 Today, the Mannum Hotel enters an exciting new era under the ownership of Dave and Kelly Sims, who have recently purchased the hotel and are continuing its long tradition of country hospitality. With a deep respect for the venue’s heritage and its place in the community, Dave and Kelly are focused on keeping the Mannum Hotel a welcoming riverside local — a spot where visitors feel like regulars and regulars feel right at home. Whether you’re here for a meal at the Bistro, a cold drink in the front bar, a night in classic pub accommodation, or to stock up at Liquor Legends, the Mannum Hotel remains what it has always been: a cornerstone of Mannum life on the Murray. |
