Junior Chocolatier Class, Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery
Give young chocolate lovers a treat they’ll never forget with a hands-on Junior Chocolatier class. This 45min experience includes a chef’s hat, apron, personalised badge, graduation certificate, and three take-home creations. While the kids enjoy this ‘parent-free-zone’, the rest of the family can relax in the cafe, filled with tempting treats.
Dooleys Premium Ice Cream, Apollo Bay
Treat the family to award-winning ice cream at Dooleys, where quirky and classic flavours abound! From peanut butter to a daring Vegemite, or a splash of Cointreau for the adults, there’s a flavour for everyone. Choose from cones, tubs, sundaes, and thick shakes, with dietary options to ensure no one misses out.
Breakfast with a view at The Pavilion, Warrnambool
Rise early and enjoy a hearty breakfast at The Pavilion, overlooking Warrnambool Bay. Sip your latte while watching horses train on the beach, then dive into the poached eggs or a unique dish like ginger wild rice porridge. After breakfast, take the kids seal-spotting along the breakwater for an unforgettable morning.
Apollo Bay Fisherman’s Co-op
Enjoy classic fish and chips (or try a grilled half crayfish) at the ‘Co-op’, with views over the stunning harbour. Grab a takeaway to enjoy it by the water in the family pot area, making it a relaxed seaside feast.
Cheese World, Warrnambool
Bring the family to Cheese World in the heart of dairy country for a famous Sungold milkshake and a peek into the life on a 1900’s dairy farm. The cellar door of the Warrnambool Cheese and Butter Factory offers a selection of award-winning cheddars and more.
