Nestled in the picturesque rural township of Newry in Gippsland, Victoria, the Farmers Arms Hotel is a historic country pub with a proud connection to the local community. Located approximately 219 kilometres east of Melbourne and just 12 kilometres northwest of Maffra, within the Shire of Wellington, the hotel has been an important part of the region’s social and farming heritage for more than 150 years.

Built in 1871 on Main Street, the Farmers Arms Hotel grew alongside Newry’s farming community and has remained a much-loved meeting place for generations. Affectionately known by locals as the “Newry Pub,” it continues to be the town’s primary social hub and the only operating hotel in this close-knit rural community.

Today, the Farmers Arms Hotel proudly maintains the character and warmth of a traditional country hotel, welcoming both locals and visitors exploring the Gippsland region. With its public bar, bistro and beer garden, the hotel offers a relaxed and friendly setting to enjoy good food, a drink and genuine country hospitality.

With its rich history, strong community connection and welcoming atmosphere, the Farmers Arms Hotel remains an enduring landmark and an important part of life in Newry and the wider Gippsland region.
