These are usually $20 per person but we will have a few more festive options on the menu so perhaps budget a little more.

Reservations are not required for our Afternoon Tea sessions but are welcome. We do ask you phone us a few days ahead of time if you are bringing a group of 6 or more, or have dietary requirements so we have time to prepare for your arrival. 

In a Nutshell:

Mid-Winter Christmas Garden Display Opening Hours: 28th June to 13th July – Wednesday to Sunday from 3:30-5:30pm.
Extended Afternoon Teas: 2nd, 3rd, 9th, 10th July from 3:30-5:30pm.
Note: The display will be closed on Saturday 5th July for our Mid-Winter Christmas High Tea. Only guests with tickets will be invited to explore the grounds on that day. 

How to get there:
Our address is 356 Beach Road East. See directions on google maps here.

Car Parking:
We have opened up our carpark which is slightly further down than the main entrance. You will see sign posts as you arrive. There is a short walk across the lawn to reception.

Facilities:
We will have two bathrooms available for visitors use, these are marked by sign posts and on the map you will collect as you enter.

Mobility:
The garden display is a walk around our gardens on Grass, and Gravel. Our facilities are also on ground level and include an accessible bathroom. For our Afternoon Teas, the nature of Hemsworth Estate’s 1911 Historic Homestead setting is the building does not cater to modern standards. There are four shallow steps with no handrail to the main entrance of the building. Each persons needs are unique so we ask you give us a call to discuss your requirements and see how we can meet them.

Who can come?
All people young and old are welcome at Hemsworth Estate. Well behaved dogs on a lead are welcome to visit our garden display and be seated in our sun room for Afternoon Teas. We ask all dog poo is picked up promptly and disposed of in the doggie poo bin near the gate in the carpark.
