Gardens on Forest

If you are looking for an amazing venue, Gardens on Forest is absolutely sensational, from there beautiful gardens and outdoor ceremony space all the way the way through to the Reception room's!
A special thanks to Leah and Stavroula for there efforts and hospitality on our special day. Unforgettable experience all the way through.

Went here for a high tea, the food seemed like it was prepared early and kept in the fridge, they were not fresh nor stale, they were tasty though.
Not many people there, if we hadn't won the high tea as a prize, we wouldn't have been there either.
The staff were very friendly, very attentive, maybe too attentive, so much so they seemed to be interrupting our chat all the time.
Wonderful ladies though but I guess, when you've got no customers, you try and look after the ones you've got.

What a great venue, highly recommended, Leah and Maria and staff did a superb job. Oh by the way, shout out to the chef, delightful and generous gourmet food. Thank you guys, thank you for hosting my daughters 13th birthday part…

Leah was crucial in making our wedding the magical experience that it was. We had an outdoor ceremony and Leah was ready with a Plan B in case it rained (luckily it didn't!). The whole team was ready to work with our vendors and celebrant directly on the day, taking a lot of pressure off of our shoulders on such an important day. I cannot thank the team enough for helping us achieve such a beautiful ceremony.

Came here for high tea, it was very impressive. Nice atmosphere with a stunning vibe and decor. Me and mum love it. Service was so professional. They offered my mum a mocktail instead a cocktail as she doesn’t drink alcohol.

Very accommodated. Kind so easy to deal with they have a different kinds of rooms for small gathering events and bog gathering events.come and check the place. Lovely people.

I had a high tea for a birthday party with 16 people. Communication for planning great, food wonderful, staff lovely. Would absolutely recommend.

Lovely house and grounds. Public High Tea was very good value- scones a particular highlight. Able to cater to gluten free- ask questions if coeliac. Parking was on the street, but not timed on the weekend. Great for a group and kids can play in the garden.

Absolutley amazing food, the high tea, egg and chicken sandwich's, staff are friendly and amazing ambience and unique experience. A definite must try!

Gardens on forest was truely an incredible experience!
Sonia and Leah helping to organise the room to make the most beautiful day for my sister’s bridal shower!
The staff, the food and location was just perfect!
Thank you thank you so much and looking forward to having more venues at garden on forest! Xxx

Very friendly owner and staff. Very efficient service. Nice big meals and tasty. Beautiful atmosphere and surroundings.

High Tea is expensive and pretentious. Was really grossed out when a dog was allowed to walk around whilst we were "trying" to enjoy the high tea. The only saving grace was the lovely staff.

Booked a Baby shower here for January and we were all looking forward to it. However due to outbreak we decided to cancel event to be safe. The venue was very understanding and even offered to refund our deposit. At first I thought this was very generous of them as my communication with Sonia was relatively quick. Waited for my deposit to be refunded for a week but nothing. Tired to contact 2 weeks later thinking they must be busy won't over think this but still no response, emailed again, no response. Tired to contact again 3-4 weeks later still no response. It's March now and still don't have a refund back and no one from the venue has bothered to contact me.

Hi Sonia & Team
I wanted to say thank you so much for hosting and making my day a wonderful one to celebrate my bridal shower at the Gardens. The girls enjoyed themselves and so did I. Thankyou for your hospitality & I must say the ladies that served us on the day were sensational

Exceptional destination for small/ medium functions. Was there for a birthday, food was delicious and had a good variety of canapes. Staff were friendly, curteousa and professional. They also offer high tea. A fair bit of parking on the street. No parking on premises. Nice small garden area with fountains perfect for memorable pics.

Took a friend here for high tea. The house is lovely as are the gardens. For me the high tea was a disappointment. The scones were as hard as a rock to break into and the rest of the offerings were pretty average. I guess that this is reflected in the price of $45 which makes it one of the cheapest high teas I've had. The service was efficient and came with a smile - very welcoming.

The absolute worst service and to top it off, the staff was extremely racist and ignorant. Clearly they've never experienced an ethnic wedding so they thought they could treat our guests like dirt. People were not allowed to ask for drinks because the waiters had "better things to do", staff showed attitude to the family of the bride and the groom and were just downright unpleasant to deal with.

DO NOT book Gardens on Forest.

The price per person they charge is astronomical, the rooms itself haven't been very well maintained or cleaned. Furniture seems to be very mismatched and there is no onsite parking for guests.

Amazing service staff and food I had the high tea it was absolutely beautiful and delicious but there is no parking would definitely go back there

Good service for high tea to celebrate a lady's 100th birthday. Good was beautiful in wonderful heritage building.
