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

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...

At Steampunk at Altitude 2026 Grant, in keeping with tradition for a few years now, led a rendition of Banjo Patterson's "Mulga Bill's Bicycle" using audience participation.

He had 4 volunteers from the audience, one being our daughter Isobel who lived up to the family name of dramatic comedy. Think Grant could have steampunk-ed his costume a little better, but (as always) it was a very busy weekend for us and at least he's standing!
