Had yummy scones and hot chocolate for brunch. It's a comfortable place to enjoy with kids as they have farm animals you can look at in the rear. They also offer tours i believe. Would come again for scones and hot chocolate. read more

As with so many others making their way down to Phillip Island, we were drawn into Caldermeade Farm by the numerous signs along the highway promising delicious home-cooked meals and fun with cows. Cows are alright I guess, but I'm always down for home-cooked meals! As far as cafes go, Caldermeade is a bit on the pricey side, with mains going for about $15-25 each, but the portions are enormous so if you're budget-conscious, you could probably share a main. My partner and I decided to share a cob dip (delicious, highly recommend!) and I had a beef pie (also tasty and surprisingly quite large). But the best part is the thick shakes - they're huge and they even give you the metal cup with the extra shake. They were so good that we stopped again for shakes on the way back! We didn't end up watching the cow milking because the timing didn't work out, but it's not really my thing anyway. It seemed to be geared more to kids anyway. read more

We were lured here on our way to Phillip Island by signs along the highway promising cuddles with calves and cow milking at this working dairy farm. Unfortunately, their only public milking is at 3:30pm, which we couldn't fit in with the rest of our activities for the day, so we only ended up eating at the cafe then hanging out with the calves. The food seemed overpriced at first, but the portions were huge, so in the end I felt like we got our money's worth. I had their soup of the day, a tomato-basil something, which came with a light and airy oven-fresh cob loaf and specialty butter. The boyfriend's buttermilk pancakes were also delicious, as was the giant mango shake we shared and barely finished. Unfortunately, as per the disclaimer on the menu, they can't serve farm fresh milk because by law it needs to be pasteurised, but I wouldn't hold it against them. Right outside, you'll find a cute little wishing well, bunny hatch, and a small shed where we met triplet calves Rose, Rosie, and Rosella. Some of the chickens in the coop next door are of the hilariously fluffy variety, but you're not likely to stay long as the roosters are crazy loud and quite repetitive. Except for getting back in the car to find that we were covered in dozens of tiny little spiders, it was a fun pit stop, and it'd be nice to come back sometime to check out the rotary cow milking. read more
