A group of friends and I were trying to work out what to buy a friend as a collective gift earlier this week. We don’t like giving something that’s just going to go to waste and we normally go for something like a voucher for a visit to a day spa or fancy restaurant.
We decided to go for a voucher for The Tea Room, which is apparently quite a popular place to go for fancy afternoon teas (High Tea). They have one location on the north shore of Sydney, but we went for the one up on the top floor of the QVB. You can read Not Quite Nigella’s review here.
There are lots of other stunning places to go to for High Tea, but we ended up choosing The Tea Room for a couple of reasons:
- Gift vouchers can be bought directly through their web site
- Gift vouchers can be for a dollar amount or for a specific menu item (like the champagne afternoon tea)
The gift voucher arrived in the post on Friday, and look at the way it’s presented:
It’s stunning, isn’t it?
We can’t wait to hand this over to our birthday-girl on Thursday!

The one in the north of Sydney is in Georges Heights, part of Mosman. You need to book a while in advance to get in and if it’s booked for a function (which is frequently on the weekends) you can’t get in at all. But worth it if you can get in as the view is spectacular!
ahh, the view would explain the higher price compared to qvb!
