Sunrise on the River
Bed and Breakfast

Sunrise on the River has been in the bed and breakfast business since 1993.

There are certain places that are pleasing to the senses, places that are simple and kind in their expression; Sunrise on the River is such a place. It provides a quiet retreat setting on the banks of beautiful False River in New Roads, Louisiana.

Located just down the street from the historic old New Roads, Sunrise on the River offers three guests rooms, each with a private bath. The honeymoon suite with a Jacuzzi bath and private veranda overlooks the butterfly and hummingbird gardens and the River. If you enjoy bird-watching, you may want to bring your binoculars and enjoy the bird sanctuary.

The Inn offers a very special continental breakfast. While dining, enjoy panoramic river views, and on warm days, breakfast on the veranda is especially delightful. Guests can also listen to the sounds of the innkeeper's 19th-century music box that plays specially crafted tin disks which bring a Victorian charm to thoroughly modern and elegant lodging accommodations.

The Gardens at Sunrise boast many native and exotic plants, including a large collection of antique roses. The old gardens in New Roads are exciting in the spring and summer.

Ask about the honeymoon, anniversary or birthday specials.
