Boab and Myrtle Chandon High Tea in Broome
Book on Viator →Operated by Broome Adventure Cruises · Bookable on Viator
High tea with Kimberley flair sounds wrong, but works. You get a rare combo of Roebuck Bay scenery and Boab and Myrtle brought into a set menu, plus a showy Grand Marnier flambé moment. It’s the kind of afternoon that feels more like a planned event than a basic tea service.
I also like the drink pairing: a Chandon Garden Spritz on arrival and a Chandon Sparkling tasting flight as the meal unfolds. The team, including Bec, Myles and Erica, keeps things welcoming and professional. One thing to plan for: the experience requires good weather, so you may need to shift dates if conditions are poor.

Roebuck Bay setting at Broome Weddings and Events: views, comfort, and pace
This is an outdoor-feeling high tea experience, set with the kind of water-and-sky backdrop that makes you slow down. The venue is Broome Weddings and Events, and that matters because it’s set up for events, not cafeteria style service. With the 2-hour running time, the schedule stays tight enough that everything lands while the views look their best.
If you’re the type who likes an itinerary that actually uses the time, you’ll appreciate the flow. You start with a welcome drink, move through a sequence of savoury and sweet items, and end with cake. It feels like a proper afternoon event rather than a long, wandering meal.

Kimberley ingredients on the plate: boab nut, myrtle, and coastal ceviche
The menu is built around Kimberley flavors and ingredients, with boab nut and myrtle acting like the headline acts. Boab nut brings a distinct, earthy note, while myrtle adds an aromatic edge that turns standard “tea food” into something that tastes local.
You’ll begin with a coastal-style appetizer: Kimberley pearl meat ceviche. That opening choice is smart for two reasons. First, it sets a fresh tone right at Roebuck Bay, and second, it helps you reset your palate before the more indulgent courses arrive.
There’s also a degustation-style feel, with a tower of treats designed to be sampled and paced. You don’t get one giant plate and then wait; you get a run of bites that keep you moving through the flavours without guessing what comes next.
Chandon Garden Spritz and the Sparkling tasting flight: what you’re really paying for
The price is $168.55 per person, and what makes it make sense is what’s included. This isn’t just tea and crumbs. It’s a welcome spritz plus a Chandon Sparkling tasting flight that’s meant to be part of the meal, not an add-on you forget to use.
A tasting flight is also a practical way to try more than one style without committing to a full bottle. If you’re celebrating (birthdays, anniversaries, or just a “we made it here” afternoon), this kind of pairing turns the event into something you can’t easily replicate on your own.
One note: if you don’t drink much alcohol, the tasting format may still be enjoyable with non-alcoholic options you might find at the venue, but the data here only confirms the Chandon elements. Plan around that if alcohol isn’t your thing.
The Grand Marnier flambéed camembert show: theatre that has food behind it
One of the most talked-about moments is the flambéed camembert, ignited with Grand Marnier. This is where the high tea becomes a performance, with something you can actually watch and then eat while it’s still at its best.
Why this matters for your experience: it breaks up the usual high-tea pattern. Instead of another tray of small sandwiches and scones, you get a moment of anticipation and a focal dish. It’s fun in a grown-up way, and it gives the whole event a sense of celebration rather than routine.
Also, flambé dishes can be hit-or-miss when the theatre takes over. In this case, the setup is clearly built around the food itself, since the meal is structured as a sequence of tasting items, not one “one-off spectacle.”
Walking through the two-hour flow: welcome drink to rustic cakes
Here’s the rhythm you can expect. You’re welcomed first with a Chandon Garden Spritz, then you move into the food sequence starting with the pearl meat ceviche. After that, the tasting flight and the showy camembert moment take center stage as the afternoon continues.
The final touch is a tasting paddle of rustic homemade cakes. That ending works because it gives you options for sweet finishes without forcing you into a single dessert choice. If you like sampling, you’ll probably enjoy being able to compare textures and flavors instead of picking one slice and calling it done.
Timing is another quiet win. With about 2 hours, you’re not trapped at the table for ages, but you also aren’t rushed through it like a quick stop. It’s long enough for conversation and the atmosphere, short enough to keep Broome plans from feeling crowded.
Getting there and group feel: pickup, mobile tickets, and max 30
The experience includes pickup offered, which is a big help in Broome where you might not want to coordinate rides right before a meal. You also get a mobile ticket, so there’s no paper hunt when you’re trying to arrive relaxed and on time.
Group size is capped at 30 travelers, which is meaningful. It usually means staff can keep the flow smooth, and you’re less likely to feel lost in a crowd. The venue is also described as near public transportation, so if you’re not using pickup, you still have a workable alternative.
Accessibility is also addressed: the venue is low mobility accredited, and service animals are allowed. That combination makes it easier for more people to join without feeling like the afternoon is off-limits.
Weather and Roebuck Bay reality: the one practical drawback
Roebuck Bay is beautiful, but weather can change fast. This experience requires good weather, and if it’s canceled due to poor conditions, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund. That’s not a small detail, because it affects when you can enjoy the setting you’re paying for.
If you’re planning a trip with tight scheduling, build some buffer. Choose a day when you can flex a little if the event needs to move.
Who should book this Kimberley high tea (and who might skip it)
I think this high tea is perfect for people who want an afternoon activity that feels special without turning into a long tour. If you like food with place-based ingredients and you enjoy a bit of theatre, you’ll likely find the Boab and Myrtle focus genuinely interesting.
It’s also a strong pick for couples and friends who want one shared “memory meal.” The tone is polished, the staff are professional, and the setting gives you something photo-worthy without needing to race through it.
If you’re the type who prefers simple, no-frills dining, this might feel a bit too event-like. Also, if weather disruptions would ruin your schedule, treat the date selection as important, since the experience depends on conditions.
Should you book Boab and Myrtle Chandon High Tea in Broome?
I’d book it if you want a luxury-style high tea that uses Kimberley ingredients in a thoughtful way and adds a proper drink experience. At $168.55, it’s not cheap, but the included Chandon spritz, sparkling tasting flight, and the full sequence of savoury and sweet items are what make it feel like a complete package.
Book ahead if you can. The average booking window is about 17 days, so earlier planning can help you lock in the time you want. If you’re flexible on dates and you care about the Roebuck Bay view, this is one of those Broome afternoons that feels like it belongs on your trip, not just on your calendar.
