From the First Coffee to the Last Round

There's a good reason locals keep coming back to The Thirsty Horse.

Planted in the heart of Greta on High Street, this hotel and brasserie has that rare quality of feeling genuinely welcoming from the moment you walk in, whether you're a regular popping in for a flat white or a visitor looking for a cold beer and a proper meal after a day exploring the Valley.

The food offering covers plenty of ground. The Coffee Lounge opens at 7am, making it a handy first stop for early risers, with cakes, muffins and milkshakes alongside your morning brew. The Brasserie serves all-day breakfast, pub classics and modern brasserie dishes, all made fresh and leaning on local produce. Weekly specials give you a reason to keep coming back, with Thirsty Thursday bringing 25 per cent off drinks, Friday Steak Night offering free meals for the kids, Saturday celebrating seafood and themed nights, and Sunday Roast wrapping up the weekend in fine style.

When it comes to drinks, there's no shortage of options. The Giddy Up Sports Bar has six screens for live sport, alongside beers on tap and TAB. The Cocktail Lounge is the spot to slow things down, and the Whisky Bar caters to those after something a little more considered. Families are genuinely catered for here, not just tolerated. The Kids’ Shed keeps little ones entertained with books, puzzles, a play kitchen and arcade games, while parents settle into the Beer Garden. There's even a dog-friendly outdoor area.

For those wanting to extend their stay, comfortable and affordable hotel rooms sit right on site, with the Brasserie, bar and Coffee Lounge just steps away.
