About House of Herbs & Roses

Set within a leafy Dural nursery, this cottage tea room pairs quiet country charm with a serious spread of fresh baking. Groups gather around mismatching vintage teacups for traditional afternoon tea, where tiered stands arrive stacked with crustless finger sandwiches, warm house-baked scones, clotted cream, and strawberry jam. Over 30 loose-leaf teas anchor the table alongside flaky chicken pies and tart passionfruit meringue bites. Strolls through the courtyard garden pots and homewares storefront finish the morning.

  • Vintage China Collection: Each guest receives a distinct vintage cup to pair with a library of over 30 loose-leaf tea blends.
  • Traditional High Tea Spread: Tiered stands feature warm date and plain scones, savoury pies, and varied sweets like passionfruit and lemon tarts.
  • Nursery & Homewares Grounds: The dining verandah opens directly into a working plant nursery and gift shop stocked with flowers and homewares.
