Could there be any more sublime spot on a warm, sunny day than Watson’s Bay Tea Gardens? The spectacular harbour views delight the adults, the bobbing yachts and busy ferries keep the children amused.
A morning tea, a bit of lunch, a casual afternoon cuppa; the Watsons Bay Tea Garden provides them all in a lovely outdoor setting, with toys for the children laid out on the lawn.
An excellent day trip for visitors to Sydney is to take the ferry from Circular Quay to Watsons Bay, have something to eat at the Tea Gardens and then enjoy the baths, nearby playground and a stroll along the shore. Sydney at its best!
Read on for all the details you need to know to enjoy your time in and around Watsons Bay.

Bliss! A garden cafe with a low fence all the way round and stern signs on the two gates: ‘Please keep this gate firmly secured.’ The garden has tables with umbrellas in the garden and some inside seating. There is table service. Food and drink can also be purchased to take away.
The cafe serves full breakfasts, morning teas, drinks and snacks. Lunch is served from noon: filled baguettes, salads, soup and bagels are all on the menu. Also available are homemade cakes, sweet crepes, banana splits, biscuits and toasts. Cream teas can be ordered.
