Wedding planners, Event organisers, Honeymooners, Brides, you just missed an exciting weekend

The Southern Highlands best kept secret, Gibraltar Hotel Bowral is something really special, a place you want to be part of, a place you want to linger a little longer. Sure, it's a hotel and a modern and stylish one at that; but it's got so many other strings to its bow that make it a really great place to stay, visit, play, relax, get pampered when you get married.

Last night’s plan for a morning run has ebbed – the call of the pool is louder, more persuasive. Can I tell myself I did laps, if I pushed no harder than a glide and mostly gazed at the palms and sky? A platter of fruit poolside, and the day has begun with all the virtue it needs.

Blue cheese and quince paste, the San Francisco Symphony and Metallica, George Clooney and Nespresso – some unlikely pairings work brilliantly and have memorable outcomes. To that list, we’d like to add another: business and pleasure. You plan to take care of business, and we’ll make sure it’s a pleasure to do it.
