Visiting the beautiful town of Daylesford, you are spoilt for choice when it comes to dining options. Wombat Hill House is one such place. Nestled at the top of a hill, hence the name, in the lush Botanical gardens; this beautiful cafe is surrounded by lush greenery and wildlife. With a homely and warm ambience, comfort is key here, and it's a lovely spot to relax.
We visited after walking around the gardens, and decided on a delicious afternoon tea. Coffee was lovely and the array of country baked goods was incredibly enticing. With a delicious homemade cheesecake and blueberry tart, we were left very satisfied with our choices. The cheesecake was rich and creamy, and the blueberry tart had fabulous pastry and was filled with fantastic, tart berries.
With typical country hospitality, the staff were generous and friendly even though it was busy. This cafe gets busy with lots of tourists visiting the gardens; but it's well worth a visit for some delicious country food and a relaxed vibe.
The afternoon tea here is absolutely fantastic!!!!
For $40pp you get an arrival sparkling (which was kindly swapped to a strawberry smoothie for me as a non-alcoholic), unlimited tea and coffee (we had a pot of tea and a skim latte each) and the afternoon tea platter (savouries like chicken sandwich, egg sandwich and reubin sandwich), sweets (like cheesecake, macarons, truffles, tarts and a brownie) and of course a scones with jam and cream!
The service was just out of this world, the staff were unbelievable! Loved it and fantastic value for money!!
Very tasty, can highly recommend the smoked trout. Perhaps a little overpriced, but worth a try. Beautiful surroundings as it’s nestled in the middle of the botanical gardens, though rug up if it’s cold weather
