Explore, discover and indulge…
If you’re venturing to our homes in the Yarra Valley or the Surf Coast these School Holidays, allow enough time to explore our beautiful landscaped grounds, discover our wetlands, orchard and kitchen gardens, meet our farm animals, enjoy our play areas and take a seat in our all day Cafés. Or if your school holiday plans take you to the Mornington Peninsula, wander the charming seaside village of Flinders, take a walk on the pier or the beach.
Our Spring menus offer hearty breakfast options, brunch ’til 4.30pm and delicious lunch dishes, a kids menu too and of course, our daily pastries, famous desserts, Sensational Sundaes, chocolate Fondues and piping hot Belgian Waffles are always so tempting.
No bookings are needed in our all day Cafés.
Plus, at the Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie grown ups can now order from our drinks menu – a new offering with local wines, craft beer and spirits to enjoy with your lunch. Cheers!
