My friends and I had trouble finding the place in the night as it turns dark very quickly in winter and it doesn't help when we took a wrong route in the foggy weather. But we heaved a sign of relief when we finally got there. The place was warm and inviting, a contrast to the cold and dark environment we came in from. It also looked as if the pictures of my favorite British magazine Living Etc popped out to life. The poster bed, the black and white tiles of the bathroom and of course the bath itself were elegantly beautiful.Think we took so many pictures upon arrival that it surprised our hosts Melinda and Jerry. We even posed for a picture - all 4 of us in the Jacuzzi of one of our rooms.
Our hosts were very warm , just like the real fireplace that greeted us in the morning for breakfast. Wished we could have met their little daughter Abby who was already off to school in the early morning. A wonderful bed and breakfast place nestled among the peaceful upper slopes of Mt Gibraltar and just 5 minutes drive from Bowral and Mittagong. This place was built with the intention of having a separate guest wing so it is really like having your own private space, something quite rare for a B and B place. Darnell Bed and Breakfast on the Gib deserves its no 1 rank in Mittagong's Bed and Breakfast recommendations in tripadvisor.
