MANY A YOUNG MAN BREASTING THE ROYAL''S NEWLY OPENED BAR WOULD NEVER HAVE GUESSED WHAT THEY WERE IN FOR WITHIN A FEW SHORT YEARS. THOUGHTS OF THE ROYAL''S COOL ALE & WARMING FIRES WOULD HAVE COMFORTED MANY LADS ENDURING GALLIPOLI''S HEAT OR THE SHOT & SHELL OF A SLUDGY SOMME WINTER.
THE ROYAL HAS BEEN A GATHERING PLACE FOR MANY LOCALS'' & TRAVELLERS OVER THE YEARS, STILL PROVIDING MANY OF THE BENEFITS ATTRIBUTED TO ITS RICH ENTERTAINING PAST. THE MAGNIFICENT FEDERATION BRICK WALLS STILL ECHO THE VOICES OF GENTEEL GRAZIERS & NUGGET-FACED BULLOCKIES. MOST OF THE ORIGINAL FITTINGS ARE STILL WHERE THEY WERE PLACED NEARLY 100 YEARS AGO. PROTECTIVE OWNERS CLOISTERED THE ROYAL AGAINST THE PILLAGING 60''S/70''S ''UPGRADES'', ENSURING WE HAVE BEEN LEFT WITH AN UNDENIABLE AESTHETIC TREASURE.
BUT, THE MODERN ERA DEMANDS ITS COMFORTS. THERE ARE 3 RECENT GUEST BATHROOMS, AN ENSUITE TO THE BRIDAL SUITE, & WASH FACILITIES ARE IN MOST ROOMS. MODERN COMMUNICATION LINKS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED, NEW ELECTRICS & STAINLESS STEEL KITCHEN APPLIANCES ARE JUST A FEW OF THE UPGRADES.
A TOUR OF THE ROYAL WILL LEAVE YOU CAPTIVATED. THE GUEST''S ENTRY FOYER HAS THE ORIGINAL CEDAR STAIRCASE & PRESSED METAL CEILINGS LEADING UP TO THE GUEST BEDROOM LEVEL. A HALLWAY LEADS AROUND THE STAIRS PAST THE BECKHAM ROOM INTO THE REMINISCENT GUEST''S DRAWING & DINING ROOM. EQUIPPED WITH AN OPEN FIREPLACE, ORNATE CEILINGS AND BREEZY FRENCH DOOR ACCESS TO THE REAR PATIO''S THIS IS A REFLECTIVE PLACE FOR VISITOR''S TO ENJOY A ''CUPPA'', THUMB-THROUGH AGED MAGAZINES & PRACTICE IMAGINATIONS.
THE ROYAL''S KITCHEN IS AUTHENTICALLY BEAUTIFUL. RICH THICK RED BRICK WALLS, HIGH CEILINGS, A CENTRAL ORNATE LIGHT/VENTILATION WELL, ORIGINAL TIMBER FLOORS, SUPERB ENGLISH-STYLE WALK-IN PANTRY & A MASSIVE DOUBLE FIREPLACE COMPLETED WITH A CANBERRA COOKER, MODERN GAS STOVE & APPLIANCES MAKE IT PLACE OF NOSTALGIA & MODERN PRACTICALITY.
THERE ARE 2 BATHROOMS & 7 BEDROOMS OF VARYING SIZES ON THE UPPER LEVEL. THE BECKHAM SUITE IS COLONIALLY BEAUTIFUL WITH ITS DOORS OUT TO THE ROYAL''S BROAD VERANDAH, PERIOD ENSUITE, LAVISH FINISHES & ORNATE CEILINGS. THERE''S AN ADDITIONAL 2 QUEEN+ ROOMS, 1 DOUBLE & 3 TWIN SHARE ROOMS ON THE FLOOR PROVIDING A VERY FLEXIBLE ACCOMMODATION MIX.
THE ROYAL''S ORIGINAL MAIN FRONT BAR ROOM & DARTS ROOM ARE NOW RETAIL OUTLET AREAS, AND THE ORIGINAL LADIES LOUNGE ROOMS ARE NOW THE BUSINESS''S OFFICES. ALL OF THESE ROOMS ARE IN FABULOUS CONDITION MAKING THEM IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ADDITIONAL GUEST ROOMS, CAFE/TEA ROOMS, EXHIBITION VENUE OR A NEVER-TO-BE-FORGOTTEN VILLAGE RESIDENTIAL SUITE.
TO THE REAR OF THE HOTEL THERE''S AN OWNER/OPERATOR''S LIVING SUITE. THE SUITE ENCOMPASSES A LOFT BEDROOM, LARGE LIVING ROOM, BATHROOM & A CHIC COUNTRY-STYLE KITCHEN WITH ACCESS TO THE CURRENT EXHIBITION ROOM/WORKSHOP. THIS SUITE IS VERY COMFORTABLE & HAS DISCREET ACCESS TO THE GARDEN.
EMPHATICALLY FEDERATION IN DESIGN, THE BUILDING''S EXTERNAL ARCHITECTURE CAPTURES THE FAMILIAR MELDING OF INHERITED COLONIAL STURDINESS & FRESH FEDERATION LINES. IT''S AN ABSOLUTE HEART-WARMER.
THE FEDERATION GARDEN LAYOUT HAS BEEN RETAINED & ACCENTUATED WITH RECENT PLANTINGS OF BLOOMS, SHRUBS, NATIVES & ORNAMENTALS. A WELL-TENDERED SQUARE OF FORMAL GREEN LAWN NEATLY FILLS THE AREA TO THE REAR OF THE BUILDING, ADDING A SOFT COOLNESS ON OUR WARMER DAYS.
THE OLD ROYAL IS A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF OUR EARLY PURPOSE-BUILT HOSPITALITY VENUES. SHE WILL EITHER CONTINUE TO SERVE FUTURE TRAVELLING GENERATIONS, OR PASS INTO THE HANDS OF AN APPRECIATING & LOVING FAMILY.
COULD YOU IMAGINE THE OLD ROYAL AS YOUR FAMILY HEIRLOOM?
