"A delightful destination for enjoying delicious cuisine, encountering fascinating wildlife, and purchasing fresh, local products. Kids love it too!"
"Had a lovely stroll around , great for kids in exploring nature . Unfortunately the kitchen and servery was less than acceptable . Our food orders were taken incorrectly, delivery of the food was ad-hoc. I ordered smashed avo with scrambled eggs and bacon, it was served on three plates at different times . The wait staff just slid the plate on the table and whispered sorry not my fault I just got given it to bring here . Also, I noticed the warning signs were not accurately educational for kids with spelling mistakes ."
"Farm animals were cute, cafe staff were friendly but we found their ice cream overly sweet and expected a highly quality. Love their butter for sure and their choco milk was also abit too sweet for us. Overall we’ll recommend to people looking to visit this area or will be driving past but we won’t recommend for people to go out of their way to visit. There’s a cool observation deck where you can see cows getting milked. Fun for kids"
"Interesting place for a coffee break. Arrived at milking time (2.30pm) for the approx 500 Jersey cows on-site. Had a guided tour and watched the milking from the viewing room. Nearby cafe and gift shop. Coffee good. Loyalty card. Toilets. Plenty of car parking."
"Fun little pit stop on the way to Philip Island. It was super fun to see all the cows and farm animals first hand. What did surprise me was how good the food was. Back in the states road stops like this usually don't have the best food, but the beef pie and salad definitely hit the spot and the coffee was pretty good as well. If you are on the road to go to Philip Island, take a break a and stop on by here!"
