We stayed an overnight at the Capital Residence, using a promotional voucher. Our deal included afternoon tea and a glass of bubbly. The sandwiches were absolutely delicious and there were more than enough for two! The same goes for the scones and beautiful cupcakes. The room was lovely, and the ensuite beautiful.

I purchased a voucher from Wowcher as a gift for my friend for her birthday in October 2012 which entitled us to a fine dinning experience with wine. On the day we were due to go, which was early December 2012 I had to go the venue to try and arrange the time as neither of us could get in... More
