Bonappetea transforms the tradition of high tea into an experience worth slowing down for. Set within a beautifully restored Queenslander surrounded by gardens in Mudgeeraba, the teahouse combines French-inspired food, vintage charm and warm hospitality in a setting that feels removed from the everyday.

High tea is naturally the star. Different experiences range from traditional and luxe selections to savoury and children's options, bringing together house-made scones, petite patisserie, gourmet sandwiches and carefully prepared savoury bites. Cakes and scones are also available throughout the day, making it possible to enjoy a little Bonappetea indulgence without turning every visit into a major occasion.

Then again, special occasions are something the venue does particularly well. Birthdays, baby showers, bridal showers and private gatherings can make use of several distinctive spaces, including the teahouse, private pavilion, balcony and function rooms. The entire teahouse can accommodate groups of up to 60, while smaller spaces provide more intimate alternatives.

Bonappetea has also evolved into an intimate Gold Coast wedding venue. Couples can combine garden ceremonies with exclusive use of the property and catering ranging from canapés and grazing platters to high tea and three-course dining.

Whether it's tea and cake with a friend or an important celebration surrounded by family, Bonappetea makes the simple pleasure of sitting down together feel just a little more special.
