Brunch, a spa treatment, and flowers are all lovely Mothers Day gifts, but they’re not very original. High Tea is a wonderful way to thank mom on her special day and it doesn’t have to break your bank account. Rowena’s Inn on the River has Afternoon Tea at the best price in the province at only $19.95 per person.

Afternoon Tea guests will be dining in the Drawing Room of a beautifully restored English-style manor on a secluded 160- acre waterfront estate.

The Inn tells the historical tale of the Pretty family, evident by antique chandeliers and vases, photographs on the wall and aged newspaper clippings, but there are other conversation pieces, such as the bed of opera singer Dame Nellie Melba, a piece of banister from the original Fairmont Vancouver, and a dining-room table that King George VI sat at.

For overnight stays, the rooms have waterfront or garden views, sumptuous king-size beds, dressed in deluxe duvets, feather pillows, and crisp linens. Large windows bathe the European-infused elegance in natural light, and the furniture exemplifies a timeless stylishness. The cabins have heated-slated floors, deep-soaker jacuzzi tubs for two, glassed-in showers, and handcrafted, river-rock wood-burning fireplaces.

Professional, courteous staff has become an unquestioned hallmark of Rowena’s Inn through a commitment to responsive and attentive service.

By car, Rowena’s Inn is 1.5 hrs east of Vancouver and 35 minutes north of Abbotsford. Complete with its own 2100 ft air strip, Rowena’s Inn is a 20-30 minute flight from downtown Vancouver.
