ADDRESS: ‘Buckley’s Crossing Hotel’, 1 Brierly Street, Dalgety, 2628

In the quiet riverside town of Dalgety, where the Snowy River winds through the Monaro plains, stands one of southern NSW’s most enduring landmarks – the Buckley’s Crossing Hotel.

For more than a century, this historic pub has been the beating heart of its community, a gathering place for locals, travellers, and adventurers alike. Now, after a decade under dedicated custodianship, this treasured establishment has come to market, offering a rare opportunity to take the reins of a true country institution.

Built in 1889, Buckley’s Crossing Hotel is more than a business, it’s a living piece of history.

With its walls adorned in memorabilia and its hallways echoing the stories of generations past, the hotel perfectly blends old-world charm with modern comfort. Tastefully updated accommodation, stylish interiors and renovated amenities, ensures it meets contemporary expectations without losing its heritage soul.

Dalgety, famously the only town that still sits along the banks of the Snowy River, enjoys a location that is scenic and strategic. Nestled between Cooma, Berridale, and Jindabyne, and within easy reach of the major ski fields, Canberra and the South Coast, the hotel draws steady trade all year round. From winter snow-goers and summer fishing enthusiasts to motorcyclist groups and local families, Buckley’s Crossing Hotel is a true four season destination.

Inside, the hotel offers a welcoming variety of spaces - a lively front bar, a cosy back bar with dining access, and three atmospheric dining rooms, including a grand function space that seats up to 50 patrons.

Outside, the charm continues with a sprawling beer garden and verandahs that seat up to 100 patrons, a new playground, and a basketball court - all features that make it a firm favourite for families and community gatherings.

Accommodation is another strong point, with eight well-appointed rooms, fresh amenities, and the kind of country hospitality that keeps guests returning year after year.

The hotel’s kitchen, renowned locally for its quality meals, is fully equipped for large-scale service, boasting a commercial setup with walk-in freezer, scullery, and laundry facilities.

What sets Buckley’s Crossing Hotel apart is its soul. It’s a place where travellers and locals meet, where stories are shared by the fire, and where the rhythm of rural life continues to play out much as it has for more than 130 years. The current owners, preparing for retirement, leave behind a thriving business and a strong foundation for the next custodians to build upon.

Owning a regional pub is more than just an investment - it’s a lifestyle, a commitment to community, and an entry into a proud Australian tradition.

For those who have ever dreamed of running a country hotel, Buckley’s Crossing Hotel offers the perfect blend of history, hospitality, and opportunity.

In Dalgety, the Snowy River flows on and so too does the chance to become part of its story.

Buckley’s Crossing Hotel is for genuine sale, asking $1,100,000.
