Winter at the Servants Kitchen Cafe

1 June - 31 August 2026
8:00 am – 10:00 am
Woolmers Estate

All winter. Free access. First cup on us.

This winter from 8 until 10 every morning, the estate grounds are free and your first cup is on us.

Walk the tree-lined avenues across 13 hectares of one of Tasmania’s most significant colonial estates in the quiet before the day visitors arrive. Then settle in by the roaring fire at the Servants Kitchen and order from a menu that earns its place on a cold morning. Eggs Benedict with house-made hollandaise. Waffles with poached fruit and maple syrup. Porridge with golden syrup. Eggs your way on sourdough. Or simply toast with butter and house-made jam.

This is the 1847 building that kept Woolmers Estate fed across two centuries of Tasmanian history. Designed by William Archer, built to house the kitchen, larders, baking rooms and the servants who kept this place running long before anyone thought to call it heritage. Now it is open again. This time, for all of us.

Sessions run at 8am and 9am daily, with just 15 places per session. Bookings are essential.

After 10am the café continues for ticketed estate guests until 6pm. But those first two hours belong to everyone.
