About Lady Lavender's Tea Room

Just off the Princes Highway in Bunyip, this vintage garden escape pairs freshly baked lavender scones with quiet country charm. Day-trippers drop in for classic Devonshire tea—warm, fragrant scones dolloped with thick cream and jam—alongside chilled lavender lemonade or rich butter chicken. Weathered tables and floral china give way to an adjoining side shop packed with local lavender soaps and curios.

  • Botanical treats: House-baked lavender scones served warm with jam and thick cream, alongside iced lavender lemonade.
  • Tearoom fusion menu: An unexpected savory lineup featuring butter chicken and crisp samosa chaat beside classic pot pies.
  • On-site gift shop: Browse lavender soaps, condiments, and knick-knacks in the adjacent boutique after tea.
