Federation mansion high tea in Malvern East. tiered plates, fresh scones, and garden weddings.

Grand Federation Queen Anne mansion on a leafy residential street. Stained-glass windows, crystal ware, working fireplaces and elegantly appointed rooms create an old-world atmosphere. The garden is a standout backdrop for ceremonies and photos, while inside rooms like the Peacock Room offer an intimate, warm setting for private celebrations.

Heritage Federation mansion building with original period features; garden available for outdoor ceremonies; multiple private rooms for functions of varying sizes; customisable packages for dietary requirements including gluten-free high tea; AV equipment available for corporate events; coordinates with external vendors including funeral directors.

The venue has roots as a private family home dating back to the 1960s. Its Federation Queen Anne architecture is authentically preserved. The high tea format honours British Edwardian tradition. three-tier plates, loose-leaf tea, scones with jam and cream. rather than a contemporary reinterpretation.

High tea is priced at approximately $74 per head, which divides opinion. many feel the beautiful heritage setting and attentive service justify the cost, while some find portion sizes modest relative to price. Additional teas and coffee are charged separately, which has surprised some guests. Pre-event menu confirmation is advised.
