English Garden Afternoon Tea at Blessing Retreat
It's tea time at Blessing Retreat! Across Williamson Valley Rd, you can see horses grazing and Granite Mountain in all its glory. Right next to the B&B, and in full view of the garden courtyard, the neighboring farm has a pen of lambs, sheep and a little calf that frolics with the lambs in the afternoons.
Combine all that with a flower garden and a small croquet yard adjoining the sunny courtyard and you have a peaceful place to enjoy a traditional English pastime - a lovely afternoon tea. The food will be homemade and delicious, the service attentive, and the whole experience just a load of fun! Do come and bring your mum, your girlfriends or your special someone to enjoy the tea tradition with you. Dress up complete with hats and gloves or come as you are. Bring your cameras and we'll take a photo of you at your tea table.
* If the weather becomes inclement, tea will be held indoors instead.
