Don't buy a cup of tea unless you're prepared to have the little pots pour tea outside the cup as well as inside it. The muffin could have come out with the pot of tea, but took over 5 minutes to follow. It had been heated and the filling was gooey, but together would have been nice. Otherwise the staff are friendly and nice.

Very pretty setting sitting on the verandah as per photo. Cheese scone nice but strange, runny tomato sauce/chutney served with it. Coffee good - though I had a long wait for it, & had finished my scone before the coffee arrived. No 'vibe' at such a pretty place & never has been in all the years I've visited. Cafe needs updating inside & to get rid of the 'old food smell' where all the tables with black tablecloths are inside on way to the restrooms ... & would be nice if serving staff were happier in their work. Guess its coz there's nowhere else to get coffee etc in the gardens.

Very nice place for weekend breakfast with stunning views and lush greenery outside.
Grab a Sandwich or Toasts with your favorite coffee and relax yourself in the pond side lobby.

Visited before covid and had a wonderful experience. Loved French toast and I enjoyed it. I was impressed the way they have presented honey in a jar.
Coffee was also good. We found a perfect spot with a beautiful view, birds singing around was lovely. Staff was polite and has good customer service. Highly recommended.

If you want to pay $27 for a plate of grease go a head but I do not recommend the fish n chip meal. Waste of money even the birds didn't want it.
