Two Sydneysiders who decamped three years ago to Cambodia's second largest city have already made their mark. And the feeling is “great” replied the duo Morrison Polkinghorne and Robert Carmack.   

“We must be doing something right,” quipped Robert on learning of his wins for Bric-a-Brac, a deluxe three-room hotel in the heart of Battambang's colonial quarter and the city centre, plus for their alfresco Libations Bar. 

“Beneath the quirky Bric-à-Brac Hotel lies a streetside bar perfectly positioned for watching life roll by in the heart of Battambang's colonial district,” glows the review.  “Libations Bar brings a slice of France to northwest Cambodia.”  

Food stylist and cookbook author Robert Carmack is classically French trained, while partner Morrison Polkinghorne is a passementier, creating tassels and interior embellishments for historic home renovations. Morrison's latest weaving work is for the Faberge egg collection in Copenhagen's national museum. His design work for Sydney's Vaucluse House premiers this coming April.

Located  just two hours from the ancient Khmer temples of Siem Reap, Bric-à-Brac is the exclusive choice for travelers to Northwest Cambodia. This deluxe B&B in the colonial heart of Battambang is centrally located, just one block from Psar Nat market and a minute to the Sangker river and night market, with easy access to must-see destinations. 

Bric-à-Brac offers 3 vintage rooms, each stylishly decorated with all mod-cons, ensuring personal service and satisfaction. All rooms appointed with antiques, sumptuous beds and down pillows, natural fibre bedding, state-of-the-art keyless door locks, free high-speed internet, plus extensive movie library, workshops and cooking classes exclusively for guests. At Boutique, view fabrics woven before your eyes, while selecting antique textiles and curios. These are just a few of the facilities that set Bric-à-Brac apart from other hotels. 

The ambiance of Bric-à-Brac is reflected in every guest room, each with balcony/terrace, both air conditioning and ceiling fan, net canopy. The hotel offers fantastic facilities, including an alfresco Libations Bar, with a free drink nightly to guests, and free pool privileges at a nearby resort.  Plush facilities and its excellent location make Bric-à-Brac the perfect base to celebrate your stay in Cambodia.  Bespoke service at Bric-a-Brac ensures conversations in English, French, Thai and Khmer.
