Good afternoon tea. Lovely decor and great service
When visiting the Government House gardens you can usually find ample parking in the large lot behind the main residence. Nearby is the tea room that is run by the volunteers, and it’s a good place to buy a light lunch at a reasonable price. There is two museum rooms that feature costumes and formal clothes that were worn by the Lt. Governor and his or her spouse. The museums are free to visit.
Tea room is a good spot for lunch or tea no specialty coffee costume museum is worth a visit featuring gowns of Govt house Chatelaines and uniforms gardens are lively
It's so beautiful, quiet and charming. Good for walk, have a coffee or just seat and watch the birds
A visit to Government House in Victoria should always include time to see the Costume Museum. Lovely display of mostly women's fashions through the years, many belonging to previous Lieutenant Governors or Chatelaines. Also displays of military uniforms and other historical artifacts. Then stop for lunch or tea at the Tea House. Open during the summer, Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 - 4:30.
