We have created 3 special "tearoom" areas for you to chose from.
The tearoom is a converted historical Colonial home dating back to the 1880's. The property was fully refurbished in 2007 and remodeled in 2014 to create the tearoom, with teapot chandeliers and wooden fireplace surround. Rooms have been opened up to form one large open plan area. Due to the nature of the dividing supporting walls, we have created 3 tearoom areas. We do not have closed off private rooms for hire. You will be sharing the tearoom with other guests, but defined areas are set aside for our group parties to give separation
The Parlor or Fireside Room
A section that can seat up to 25 in two long table configurations. A table for holding gifts is provided with an extra table for gift opening/ celebration cake presentation. The dining tables are covered in lace and china cups and glass goblets. The High Tea menu options are served on vintage ivory cake stands and fresh flowers are on the table. This is THE ideal space for a baby shower or bridal shower
The Royal Room
A section that seats up to 12. An additional table for holding and opening gifts is provided. This is the idea space for a Children's Birthday Party or a Milestone Birthday, or special gathering
The Main Tearoom
