Very cute tea house in a beautiful setting. The staff and volunteers are great and clearly care a lot. The food was very nice, too!

We started by looking at the set up of the historical info of the government house and some local cultural stuff then,
Enjoyed a lovey light lunch with my friend.the servers were attentive and such a relaxing atmosphere, followed by a beautiful walk in the gardens.

A lovely repast after touring the magnificent grounds around Government House. Friendly staff made sure our dog had water. The hot roast beef sandwich was delicious, as was the strawberry tart.

I've lived here in Victoria for over 2 decades, and just found out about this tea room!
And let me tell you.this hidden gem did not disappoint.
We had family visiting for a few days and toured around the grounds of Government House, which are immaculately maintained and absolutely beautiful.
We stopped in for a quick bite to eat, not really expecting anything special, and were blown away by the variety on the menu. The Ham and Cheese quiche is definitely something to write home about.also comes with the choice of the daily soup or salad.and even prepared with a gluten-free crust. And I can't forget the Buddha Bowl, which at some establishments can be a little lacklustre, but here it is chock full of all the fixings!
Staff were friendly and service was prompt without being overbearing.
We had a fantastic experience overall between touring the gardens and the tea room, and can only offer our full compliments.
We will be back again soon!

After an enjoyable walk around the gardens at Government House and a visit to their museum, we decided to have afternoon tea. It turned out to be a poor decision. Tea room was not crowded yet we waited 15 minutes to have our order of one pot of tea, one soft drink and one pastry to share brought to our table. Tea was extremely weak and flavourless. (Only one teabag in a full-size teapot of hot water.) No spoons, only wooden stir sticks. (Not typical tea room style.) Ordered a raspberry pastry; was served a totally different strawberry one with no forks to eat it with. No milk/sugar at the table. You had to put it in the cup when you ordered so if you wanted a second cup of weak tea from the pot, you had to walk to another room to get milk/sugar. All in all very poor value for the price. No ambiance whatsoever. We might as well have gone to any take-out coffee joint. Only bright spot-volunteer staff were friendly and polite, albeit not particularly competent.
