Thank you for a fabulous afternoon High Tea,...

Absolutely must visit when you are in Tasmania! beautiful historical house, amazing gardens and thanks to volunteers - this place is just a germ! Also we learned so Many interesting facts about early years of English colonies, convicts and history of Launceston We spent there couple of hours and kids loved it too! There is a fun interactive for kids where you should find buckets with letters, Also please buy handmade marmalade from the shop inside- its just delicious! 100% recommend this place!
