Amazing tastings, and the staff were fantastic and more than willing to help you choose and taste all the yummy chocolates and cheeses on offer. Bought a good stash and enjoyed them for the next few days. Will definitely head back there if we are in the area again!

Ate here yesterday with locals. I'd heard so much positive stuff about this venue that I felt a little let down the moment we walked in the door. Even though the dining room has pretty good views of rolling hills and livestock, there has been absolutely no effort to make the décor attractive or befitting of the surrounds, nor was... More

My best friend and I stopped by on our way to the Lake for a picnic with our girls (aged 2 x 4 years and 18 months). The kids enjoyed meeting and patting all the animals in the petting zoo before making our way into the store. We picked up a sample of chocolates for everyone and a selection of... More

Stopped here briefly one morning to hopefully enjoy a fun visit but left feeling very blah. Found it to be a rather unwelcoming place and the staff member we were with to sample cheeses was very uninterested and uninformative. Didn't stay for a meal due to that but we did buy cheese and chocs which were very tasty. Thought the... More

If you like to sample amazing chocolates and sublime cheeses while looking out over rolling green hills with black and white cows scattered around, then this is the perfect place for you. The staff were very helpful for those with dietary issues and very happy to provide cheese samples. The dairy being right at the door makes it very authentic... More

We arrived to see the cows go up for the mornings milking, walked in the door and told the Cheese section was not operating today but we could watch a TV, we went to the viewing room and the TV was on and there was no commentary. We felt like we where in the silent movies. When we went back... More
