★★★★★ ★★★★★ Recommended Sparkling wine high tea, The Marion, Canberra Maureen 16 July 2025 Superb location. Attentive staff. Food beautifully presented. 2 aspects were surprising. Firstly, we were offered water. Later we were billed for choosing sparkling water. I expected staff to inform us that choices they initiated were to be extra charges. Had we initiated a request this would have been acceptable. (We declined when twice offered extra sandwiches) This information was lacking and not transparent. Would have preferred coffee to be served at the end of the meal if given a choice. Overall, a positive and enjoyable experience. Customer Experience Hi Maureen, thanks so much for your feedback. We are always looking for ways to improve so I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. 16 July 2025
★★★★★ ★★★★★ Beautiful location and great view but Ravinder 20 April 2025 I used my gift card to go for high tea at the Marion. On top of paying $190 we were charged 15% surcharge which worked out to be $28. However, I don't think Saturday was a public holiday. You would think when you have paid $90 per head for a high tea the sparkling water would be included in it but that wasn't the case. On top of paying for high tea we got charged an extra $40 which I thought was a bit extreme. I would like people to be aware of these charges so they don't get ripped off like we did.

★★★★★ ★★★★★ What a Scam Cameron 21 December 2024 Paid and bought a voucher for the Cocktail Hightea, booked through Red Balloon and made sure of it all. Got to the end of the high tea and when we were leaving the staff shamefully asked for $190 after we used the red balloon voucher. When we informed the staff member it was a red balloon booking. They noticed we only paid $180 for the voucher and had the nerve to charge us the $10 plus 1.5% surcharge to make up the difference. Don't worry, we will make sure our friends and family don't ever come back. Customer Experience Hi Cameron, Thanks for your feedback, I am sorry to see you did not enjoy your experience and were charged extra when using your voucher. This is not the type experience we would like for our customers – I would like to discuss this further with you and will reach out by email. 2 January 2025
★★★★★ ★★★★★ Recommended Upmarket High Tea with great lake views. Cliff 15 November 2024 A subtly different take on high tea, served in stages by attentive staff, with panoramic views of Lake Burley Griffin. Customer Experience Hi Cliff, it's great to hear about your positive experience. Thank you for sharing your feedback! 18 November 2024
