Yikes, this place made my head spin. There's so much crammed in every corner, that I found it quite…read moreoverwhelming. So overwhelming in fact that I found it a delight to exit The Mill Markets. It's a great idea as an vintage junk yard expo, but I found it all too much. There's only so much walking and looking that can be done. Some of the rooms are interesting, and you can probably find something of interest for everyone in your party. This shop is partnered with the Amazing Mill Markets in Geelong and Daylesford. They are open from 10am to 6pm, 7 days a week. Come here if: You feel like browsing You like walking indoors You like antiques and random items You like looking aimlessly through junk You are looking for a unique piece to add to your home/collection

He had a local brew and I had the Billy tea. It was delicious!!!! The service is great! Everyone there is so nice. Then there is all the gourmet food just like the Oakville Grocery in Napa. I think it would be great for people that are renting a cabin. You can go off to the spa and relax at home with all the gourmet foods, beer, and wine. This is a great place for brunch. Don't go too late in the day or you might miss out. Sit outside when it's nice out. It makes for a lovely meal in a pretty place that makes you feel so relaxed and pampered. Which is, of course, why a person goes to Hepburn Springs.

I especially liked the giant chocolate coated licorice bullets and had to restrain myself from buying the chocolate coated honeycomb, one of my favourite childhood sweets.

It gets really busy in the afternoon when everyone arrives into Daylesford, so my advice is to get here in the morning. When it gets busy it is chaos. Lots of free roaming hippies in a crowded place means lining up in order is a complicated task and everyone seems a bit flustered by the experience. Avoid the rush and you will love the smoothies.

We only stayed for a coffee but it was a really good drop and I would definitely recommend giving the Larder a go!

The other meals for our group looked pretty good too, bacon & eggs were a generous size serving, there's definitely no scrimping on the bacon here. We were all very happy with our breakfast choices. No split bills, but that's ok. There's also produce available for purchase including coffee beans, wine, condiments & sauces. I would highly recommend Gourmet Larder when visiting Daylesford, whether for breakfast, brunch, lunch or just for a coffee.
