About this supplier

Anelli’s Tea Garden offers a picturesque setting for celebrations and gatherings of many kinds. The team hosts high tea for adults and children, kitchen teas, baby showers, birthday parties, bridal showers, weddings, conferences and business functions. Guests can choose from inviting indoor areas or relax in the stunning outdoor spaces, surrounded by a garden atmosphere that brings a sense of escape and tranquillity.

A choice of venue spaces across the property allows events to be matched to the occasion. Options include the tea garden with both inside and outside settings, Enchanted Venue, Belle’s Room Conference Room, the Guesthouse Restaurant and Die Bierneus. Each area is designed to make the most of the garden charm, with nicely decorated interiors that bring the beauty of the outdoors inside.

Catering is a core part of the experience. The menu features breakfasts and lunches, freshly baked cakes and a full range of beverages from hot and cold drinks to cocktails, wines and craft beers. The kitchen is known for high teas, and guests can look forward to fresh home-made foods prepared by the chefs. The focus on good food and rm service runs through everything they do and is a hallmark of the venue.

The tea garden forms part of a larger hospitality story. The family opened Big5 Guesthouse in 1999 with only two rooms and over the years it has grown to 38 rooms. The dream of a dedicated tea garden began in June 2015 and quickly became a success, growing into a top establishment. As the venue evolved, Belle’s Room s added and an existing conference facility s refreshed as a function venue alongside the guesthouse’s restaurant. Many customers return often and bring friends, a testament to the welcoming atmosphere.

For private celebrations, Anelli’s sets the scene for baby showers, kitchen teas, birthday parties and bridal showers, with settings that suit intimate catch-ups or festive gatherings. The garden backdrops and styled interiors make it easy to create memorable moments, whether under the trees outside or in the neatly appointed indoor spaces.

Corporate needs are well supported too. Belle’s Room Conference Room and the Guesthouse Restaurant provide practical options for meetings, seminars and business functions, while Enchanted Venue and the tea garden are well suited to networking and client hospitality. The combination of versatile spaces and in-house catering simplifies planning for teams and organisers.

Accommodation is available through the adjoining guesthouse, which offers 38 rooms. This is convenient for multi-day itineraries and for guests travelling from further afield. With the blend of venue choice, a celebrated high tea offering, freshly prepared menus and a welcoming team, Anelli’s Tea Garden brings together everything required for a relaxed function in a garden setting.

We had my Grandmother's 80th birthday party here. Everything s awesome. The decor s amazing, the breakfast s delicious and everything s so conveniently located (bathrooms, placement of the buffet and tea area.) There s great service and at the same time our function remained private and you barely even noticed the staff. Love this place so much!

The Tea Garden is very pretty. Every person who works here is extremely kind and wholesome.
We took the breakfast, with French toast and a grilled sandwich and this s without a doubt the best food we had the chance to eat (compared to other breakfasts).
Even if you hadn’t planned to come here, please make the detour.

We were at this restaurant on 3 March 2023 for a lunch. The setting is beautiful and food of good quality. I ordered the grilled chicken breast margarita with a salad.
Although the chicken and salad were delicious, the portions were so small that it seemed like a half portion. For me, it s not value for money.

I visited Anneli's Tea Garden for a working date and s thoroughly impressed. We had made a booking in advance and were rmly greeted upon arrival. The owners were incredibly responsive to our inquiries and provided exceptional service throughout our visit.
The atmosphere s perfect for a productive day with free Wi-Fi available, making it easy to work while enjoying a delicious meal. I opted for an amazing salad and dessert which were both delightful. The menu offers a great selection of items.
Anneli's Tea Garden offers both indoor and outdoor seating, allowing guests to enjoy the lovely surroundings. It's worth noting there's also a lodge adjacent to the garden, making it a convenient spot for travelers.
I would highly recommend Anneli's Tea Garden not only for a working lunch but also for intimate parties or bridal showers. The experience s fantastic, and I look forward to returning soon!
