The Camellia Tea Room

Lovely little gem for an afternoon tea. We got a tour of the house too. Super friendly staff who love looking after their guests and the house.

Had an amazing experience at their high tea. The scones were fresh baked and huge! They went through extra mile for the kids with stickers and extra cookies and treats!

We enjoyed the high tea here this afternoon but you'll need to plan ahead as it's by reservation only.

Lovely, lovely spot for tea, pastries, and small sandwiches. Not only were the foods and teas wonderful, but the volunteer staff were amazing - both in their care for regular customers but also in navigating a large group with completely out of control children whose parents had no interest in anything but letting their progeny run wild almost tripping staff and guests alike. The volunteers are angels, and deserve better.

Lovely surprise high tea! I was visiting the area with a friend. We expected to have tea, soup and scones for lunch, not knowing high tea was being served. The regular menu for the weekend is posted on their Facebook page. High tea is normally advertised via their newsletter. My friend and I were able to enjoy high tea as walk ins! Service was wonderful. We did not know the servers were all volunteers and they did a great job! The food was lovely and the chef came by more than once to see if we were enjoying our meal. We were and did! The location is lovely inside Milner Gardens (so no street noise!) and in a large well-kept heritage house. I would definitely come back and recommend to others.

Have had high tea a couple of times. All volunteers in the dining room and the "golf cart " that drives you down to the house and brings you back , if you choose not to walk. Portions are tiny, maybe because many seniors , who may eat like a bird. I do not think that you should have to pay if you are a member bringing a guest for tea. I'm a member, and then have to pay for my guest to have tea and of course pay for the tea for 2.

It's unfortunate it's run by volunteers and they need help.
My friend and I visited and had to wait a long time.
Once we got our scone, cream and strawberry jam, it was nice, looking at the views.

The volunteers are wonderful, sweet, and delightful. Chef Mel came out and greeted us, making us feel very welcome. The prices were unexpectedly reasonable for such a prime location. Fabulous experience all around.
