About Dawson's Hotel

Welcoming gold-rush travellers through its doors since the 1870s, this historic Broadway landmark continues to anchor the centre of Reefton with country lodgings, hearty on-site dining, and local brews. Accommodation covers a practical mix of stays, including compact ensuite studios with either a queen bed or a double and single bed, multi-room family apartments with separate lounges and kitchenettes in two- or three-bedroom layouts, and modern self-contained cottages sleeping two, one of which features dedicated wheelchair access. In a heritage mining town where a long day spent exploring walking tracks, cycling trails, or historic sites demands an unpretentious place to unwind, having a warm dining room and bar directly downstairs makes for an easy base.

Set right along Broadway, the hotel puts Reefton’s shops, cafes, and river walks within easy strolling distance. It serves travellers looking for character, comfort, and honest West Coast hospitality without unnecessary fuss.
