High Tea in Scottish Baronial Castle
Welcome to Overnewton Castle- a Scottish Baronial style Homestead built-in 1849. Situated in Keilor Village, just 20 min drive from Melbourne CBD. If you are looking for a high tea experience that is unlike anything else in Melbourne then you must visit us and spend the day exploring our 4 acres of immaculate gardens and book a Tour (as an add on), so you can learn about the history of Overnewton Castle and it’s first pastoral landowners in Victoria.
Relax with friends over a selection of delicate pastries, fluffy scones, jam and cream, English tea sandwiches and petite fours with free-flowing Twinning’s Tea and Vittoria Coffee.
