High Tea in Australia » QLD http://www.high-tea.com.au Where to partake of the finest experience Thu, 17 Jun 2010 01:10:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 en hourly 1 Bella Rosa’s Tea Rooms, Stanthorpe http://www.high-tea.com.au/41/bella-rosa-stanthorpe/ http://www.high-tea.com.au/41/bella-rosa-stanthorpe/#comments Sat, 10 Oct 2009 00:31:21 +0000 Lea http://www.high-tea.com.au/?p=41 We were reminiscing last night about some of our better expeditions, and our last trip to Stanthorpe, a lovely area in the QLD Granite Belt winery district, came up, so I thought I would share the delightful little high tea establishment we found

Just north of Stanthorpe, in Thulimbah is Bella Rosa’s Tea Rooms. No one would call “Thulimbah” “Stanthorpe”, of course, but if I talk about “Bella Rosa’s in Thulimbah” no one will know where in the world I am talking about!

It is a lovely little place – we got the pink table, very attractive and feminine and had a delightful high tea.
The rest of the day was spent carousing through cellar doors, which isn’t really my thing, so I used my memory of my morning high tea (anathema! yum yum!) to carry me through the child wrangling odd smelling session.

Mmmm… High tea – make sure you stop into Bella Rosa’s, north of Stanthorpe, if you have a hankering for High Tea while doing the wineries around Stanthorpe!

After the mandatory play in the excellent Ipswich park (it has an artificial creek that they can run! Soo cool! Waterplay with no leeches!) we wanted some grownup entertainment (umm, no – not that sort!) so we looked around, and what did we find, but *Brighton House* serving High Tea! Guess where we stopped for nibblies?

Brighton House is an absolutely gorgeous heritage listed house, and the owners, Jayne and Allan, are sensibly offering people High Tea on the verandah while soaking up the atmosphere. I loved it!

We had a beautiful selection of little cakes and sandwiches and just a lovely pot of tea. I think we were lucky to get in, as they were busy and chatting with the owners showed that lots of people come there for Occasions, such as bridal showers, birthdays and anniversarys.

I know where we will be stopping next time we are in Ipswich!

(and, yes, the kids behaved beautifully. Mine always do. They know better than to muck up Mother’s high tea!)
