Since 1886 — McMahons Creek, Victoria

A Legendary Pub in the Heart of the High Country

The Reefton Hotel has welcomed travellers, loggers, and locals for nearly 140 years. Cold beers, hearty meals, and a place to rest your head, 19 km from Warburton on Woods Point Road.

Where the Road Meets the Bush

The Reefton Hotel sits at the foot of the Victorian high country, on the winding road that leads toward Woods Point and beyond. Built in 1886, the hotel carries the character of the gold-rush era in every timber beam and corrugated iron eave.

Reefton Hotel serves as a natural stop for motorcyclists, four-wheel drivers, hikers, and anyone who loves a genuine bush pub. Walk in from the road, find a stool at the bar, and stay longer than you planned.
