The Secret Garden

Ferny Hills

Updated: Jan 15, 2026

The Secret Garden at Ferny Hills is an open-air cafe perched on the edge of Pure Tennis Academy's courts that is open to the general public.

Surrounded by grassy parklands and huge trees, it makes a particularly conducive child-friendly spot to meet for coffee.

Cubby House and toys at The Secret Garden

The caravan-cafe specialises in sweet and savoury French crepes, as well as crumpets and other delicious bites, while drinks include well brewed coffee, as well as juices and milkshakes, to be enjoyed beneath the fig trees and hoop pines.

There is an undercover kid's play room complete with mini cars, trolleys, a doll's house and plenty of colorful toys to excite the imagination. Pure Tennis Academy offer tennis lessons for children aged 3 and over, and the cafe provides the perfect place to wait while the little ones learn a new skill for life.
