1. The Conservatory

What better way to kick start the day than with your morning caffeine fix overlooking beautifully maintained rose gardens and ornamental fountains at The Conservatory. On chillier days, retreat indoors and for views of the Brokenback Ranges.

Nothing beats a decent brew outdoors, which is where to head if you want something a little more whimsical. This is also the perfect place to indulge in a rich and traditional high tea with a twist.

Make the most of the beautifully romantic landscape as you savour every flavour served up. Sink your teeth into macrons, eclairs, fresh scones, savoury tartlets and much more, all paired with a glass of sparkling. Coffee is always good, but in the land of plenty, it’s great to try something a little bit more special.
