The Rose Garden Café sits within the Nigel Peck Centre at Woolmers Estate, with views across the National Rose Garden and the heritage precinct beyond. Open daily for lunch, it’s a relaxed, country-style café serving honest food made with fresh Tasmanian produce and the kind of place you linger longer than you planned.

The menu draws on Woolmers’ farming traditions and celebrates what is grown and raised on this land. Local feta, Tasmanian scotch fillet, freshly baked sourdough, estate-made pesto and chutney. It’s not complicated. It’s just good food in a remarkable place.

The Rose Garden Café opens onto an outdoor courtyard and bar area overlooking the National Rose Garden, home to 5,000 roses across 460 varieties. During the bloom season from October to February, it’s one of the more memorable settings for lunch in Northern Tasmania.

The café seats 130 inside and the courtyard provides additional outdoor seating. On warmer days, grab a table outside with a view across the rose beds to the Great Western Tiers beyond.

Looking for breakfast? Our other cafe The Servants Kitchen is open from 8am.

It is the only place in Northern Tasmania where breakfast comes with complimentary access to a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Order breakfast from 8am and walk the estate grounds free of charge until 10am.
