Royal Arms Guesthouse Nimmitabel

Royal Arms Guesthouse Nimmitabel Historic B&B in the Monaro region. ABOUT THE ROYAL ARMS

The older part of the Royal Arms was constructed in the 1850s, originally trading as the Royal Hotel.

A two-storey extension was added later, providing accommodation to guests. Over the years the building has served as pub, boarding house, dining hall, reception room, and bed & breakfast. From 1989-1991 the building was renovated by the Garside family to restore it to its historical form, removing various attempts to modernize the building's appearance, replacing rotting timbers, rewiring and repl

umbing. The result has been an elegant building that once again asserts itself in the center of town. ABOUT NIMMITABEL

Nimmitabel is a small country town on the southern end of the Great Dividing Range, located on the Snowy Mountains Highway 20 minutes south of Cooma. From here it is an easy day trip to the mountains or the beaches.

Personal updates for our friends and customers.

Grant came off his pushbike a few weeks ago and discovered a few days later that he'd broken his arm. A split cast was placed on it for "4-6 weeks" and instructions to visit the Fracture Clinic at TCH. That visit happened yesterday. It is healing well and he has been given a waterproof cast with the instructions of no weight more than a coffee cup for another 4 weeks.

A reminder that our cafe remains closed until Thursday Oct 1st ie the ski season. It is our quiet season and we have a lot of things esp in terms of paperwork and building maintenance that's been neglected over the past 3.5 years since we opened the cafe. This will give us an opportunity to catch-up on some of those.

The B&B remains open throughout this time.

Stay warm, enjoy the season! 😘

Sharing something from a past life.

The big cob (earthen) pizza oven that Grant instructed students, so that he and they and their teachers could construct at Warrawong High School in 2011.
It was a beauty.

Grant made/instructed others to make many cob pizza ovens across NSW. As far north as Hornsby and south as Delegate. From Nardy House in the east to a Old Dairy Plains Rd west of Cooma. Only a few were for individuals, many for communities, including Cooma Men's Shed.

Just need one at the Royal Arms...
