Little did we know, there was a large python peacefully resting in the rafters above us, adding a unique touch to our experience. The staff were welcoming as we ordered our morning coffee and a delicious treat from the display cabinet. While there were a few tables inside, the best seats were definitely outside on the deck. As we savored our coffee and cake, we kept a watchful eye on the python above us before going for a stroll around the beautiful gardens. The cafe also showcased colorful crockery and had a sign advertising High Teas, promising a delightful visit for any tea lover.
