What I Wore: Tea & Scones

Last Friday my boyfriend and I drove up to Puhoi Cottage for Devonshire Cream Tea, a sweet platter of tea and scones for two.

The old Cottage has now been a TeaRoom for nearly 40 years. It’s one of the oldest TeaRooms in New Zealand. It is the oldest TeaRoom still serving “Devonshire Cream Teas” in NZ.

All the scones and yummy cakes are baked at the cottage and all the recipes used, have been handed down from owner to owner. Add to that the pretty garden setting and valley views and you get a truly unique experience.

There was this ridiculously friendly cat loitering around the garden, crawling up on the guests tables and initiating rather feisty games. I tried to get a picture but it kept moving whenever I’d get close.

The scones were huge, and came with little pots of cream & jam.

Unfortunately we were hit by a quick (and heavy) sun shower just as we were pouring our first cups of tea. We had to make a mad dash for the indoor dining area and the outdoor chairs were too wet to return afterward. Clear skies remained for the rest of the day though, wish we had arrived just half an hour later…
