As we enjoyed the food, we savoured delicious savory treats, pies, and club sandwiches, all while sipping champagne. We all agreed that it had been a wonderfully satisfying day, although with a touch of ambivalence. We were surrounded by the mid-19th century world of the castle, yet airplanes were flying overhead, reminding us of the present day.


Food was excellent , entertainment was great, “Elton” was a joyous surprise.
Recommend for anyone




We arrived to a private room which we were not expecting and a warm welcome from the staff.
Food was excellent and plenty of it. Service was fantastic.
Thank you to the team at Overnewton Castle for making the celebration perfect.
This is our second high tea at Overnewton Castle and I am sure it will not be our last.


We enjoyed a beautiful Melbourne afternoon at Overnewton Castle. Firstly with a tour of the castle followed by a delicious high tea.
The tour gave us a fascinating insight into the origins and history of the castle and the families that lived there. You might be lucky and chance upon a tour given by a family member of the current owners.
The High Tea was delightful. A glass or two of champagne, 3 varieties of scones and a high tea tower of sweet & savoury delights and as much tea as you can drink' And the most lovely of staff attending upon you during high tea. They were warm & happy to serve you. This add another level to our afternoon.
Over all a wonderfully pleasant & entertaining Melbourne afternoon. We would thoroughly recommend Overnewton castle.






Absolutely loved the tour of the castle which was presented by the current owner of the property. The historical events of the property was explained to us so detailed and in a knowledgeable manner. Well worth a visit for any occasions and for interstate and overseas visitors wanting to enjoy some history of the home and the area.






My wife and I visited Overnewton for high tea and a tour of the Castle and gardens.
High tea was served in a beautiful, light filled dining room overlooking the croquet lawn and magnificent gardens (which featured a massive and historically significant Oak tree planted well over 100 years ago!).
High tea was delicious with a fine assortment of tasty treats - the scones with raspberry jam and clotted cream were a stand-out! The staff members serving tea were very cheerful and friendly.
The tour was conducted by two of the owners of the Castle. They provided a most interesting and entertaining account of the Castle's remarkable history (which dates back to the mid 19th century). In addition, they also provided fascinating details of the work being done to research the Castle's history and to furnish the many rooms with items that were contemporary with mid to late 19th century stately mansions.
I fully recommend visiting Overnewton and indulging in an afternoon of fine dining and being immersed in the history of what surely must be one of Melbourne's most interesting and grand old homes.






The high tea was scrumptious, the service was top-notch, and the surroundings were breathtaking. We loved dressing up for the occasion (our wedding attire got a fun second outing!) and felt like royalty for the day. The castle's vibe is warm and inviting, making it the perfect setting for a special treat.
We highly recommend Overnewton Castle's high tea experience, especially if you enjoy a touch of elegance and whimsy. Dress up, have fun, and savor the moment – we can't wait to return!"



The venue is unique, the staff were very attentive and the three course lunch was well presented and very much enjoyed.
I’m sure we shall return.
