The Araluen Hotel has survived the test of time having first been established back in 1928. The building still has original features and also retains the character that only a country pub can, you feel right at home as soon as you walk through the door.Araluen is largely an undiscovered valley of history and romance within a lush garden paradise, just 26 kilometres from Braidwood or 60 kilometres to Moruya on the south coast, or even 108 kilometres to Canberra. 
An old gold mining village steeped in history, the area was once the largest stone fruit growing area in the Southern hemisphere. Today stone fruits are still here along with large market gardens and a more diverse array of fruits and vegetables that thrive in this almost coastal climate. There are several large grazing properties also taking advantage of the much longer growing seasons.
This is a business that provides several income streams - Firstly the bar ; currently trading 5 days a week, a full bar, pool tables, juke box. Kitchen open for lunch and dinner 5 days. Accommodation for up to 37.
