We had a very enjoyable experience here. Adam was very friendly and his attention to detail was immaculate. The accommodations for gluten free and dairy free was some of the best we've ever had.

This was a bucket list item for me and the experience did not disappoint. Not only was the food and tea delicious, they were able to accommodate dietary restrictions; i.e. nut allergies and gluten-free. According to my friend, the gluten-free options were still tasty. The fun part is we did this for my bachelorette and we saw at least two other brides, so this is a wonderful way to celebrate upcoming nuptials with your wedding party. We also wore fascinators and it was well received by staff and guests.

This is one of the must do things in Victoria and we were not disappointed. My wife really wanted to go here for her birthday, and we had a very nice time. She was able to get all of her food and tea treats gluten-free, which was really amazing. We had a lovely time drinking tea and eating our food in the beautiful atmosphere. Not an inexpensive thing to do, but a once in a lifetime memory.
