I bought grabone vouchers for Devonshire tea and garden entry. A couple of friends and I went along yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed the tranquillity of the garden and the tea selection and scones were to die for, the family and staff were very friendly and attentive. I would recommend Aston Norwood as a top 10 things to do in Wellington
I just cant recommend this place enough. Had a fabulous high tea today, with the most amazing service from the lovely staff. The gardens are just spectacular to walk around. It's a really fabulous place to spend a lovely couple of hours.
Stopped in for the $10 breakfast which basically says "bacon and eggs" but they didn't skip on anything. Came with toast and was cooked perfect! Definitely worth it!
First time to visit the place and see their Blossom Festival.
A bit disappointed because the garden wasn't in full bloom. Not their fault though as the weather wasn't that great when I came and visit. Plus the weather wasn't that great too the past few days before so cherry blossoms could have been blown by the wind or not yet the correct time for the blooms to come out. Overall experience is still good as the place is nice. Good place to go if you want to have some quiet and
/or alone time.
A bit of a drive if you are coming from the southern part of Wellington. Took us about 40 minutes to get there via the motorway. But it is all worth the drive I say. Ample parking available and a nice coffee shop to serve your have hot drinks.
One thing I may suggest is add extra direction signages to help people like me who are not that good with reading a map.
Really good food at the cafe and omg, the gardens are stunning!
I need to go again next year at the beginning of the school holidays before the wind blows away all the blossoms 🤣
I love cherry blossoms so much, they're my favorite flower next to midnight roses!

Was fortunate to enjoy the high tea experience followed by the garden walk.
It was an amazing experience highlighted by the amazing lady who led it. It was comforting to have her go through standard etiquette and didn’t make us feel out of place. Would 100% recommend to someone wanting to experience something new!
Then after the tea, while you’re still warm, you’re able to take a stroll through the gardens and see the amazing water features and flowers. Though we went during the day, the lights were also beautiful in the shaded areas and the sounds of tuis echoed through out!
Beautiful cherry blossom. Didn't get a chance to try the cafe, it was very crowded, full with visitors. But the garden is pretty, would be perfect if its sunny. It's a perfect place to walk with your love one.
Great cafe with new owners, definitely book in for the Blossom themed high tea for cherry blossom season, 14 September - 8 October.
The After Dark is experience is amazing! Besides the fact it was raining we all really enjoyed the walk around the garden! Highly recommend!
My sister and I have just had a beautiful Devonshire Tea at Aston Norwood Cafe. The service from Owen was outstanding. He also baked the scones which
were absolutely delicious. Owen...you
made our experience here an absolute delight. Thank you so much. We highly recommend this experience. Just go!

Wonderful experience . Calm and peaceful. And beautiful scenery. Blossom valley was breathtaking
Beautiful & well kept. Ice cream 🍦 was a treat. There were coffee, hot chips & cookie options too.
Lovely place - calm, tranquil, and lush vegetation. Friendly helpful staff. I've passed this place may times, but not stopped - glad I did.
Just a little disappointed by the food selection. I was in the mood for a tasty salad type lunch - blue cheese, pear and walnut or similar. Offering was mostly cakes, burgers, chips, wedges and all-day breakfast. I left well-fed and happy, but a bit fatter than I intended.
