Had an amazing experience at The Berry Dairy! Strawberry picking was so much fun, and the farm has lots of animals you can feed and pet (for a small fee), which is perfect for families and friends. The food quality and portion sizes were great, though the service was quite slow and could use some improvement. Overall, a fantastic day out — highly recommend!
Great 'family' venue. Food is surprisingly good; very generous serves. Great farm experience for kids. Great service, very friendly staff.
We absolutely love The Berry Dairy and the new petting zoo experience is so much fun that we have already done it twice since it started getting to feed the baby goat and lambs was my daughters favourite thing when we went here for her birthday & seeing Cricket all grown up was awesome. If you love baby animals, strawberries and a chill but lovely little cafe then this is the place for you. The new playgrounds are awesome and there is something for all ages to do. Just a great little family business, with a very hardworking owner. We will go back very soon
We took over 2 hours to drive here because I had see something on Tik Tok or Instagram and although it was extremely windy today we were not disappointed. First up we picked a punnet of strawberries I love that they don’t spray them. You pay $3 each to enter and then pay per punnet size. Then the petting Zoo, the funniest experience definitely worth the $5 each. I could have played with the animals for ages. The highlight - Strawberry slushie and the scones. The Slushie delicious soooo good. The scones soft and fluffy just perfect. Service excellent and a fun place to visit. Great job to the team
If you love good food, good service, animals, and strawberries - then this is the place for you! I absolutely loved it here. Stopped in on a road trip as something different to do and it was better than we were expecting. The food & drinks (nachos & sliders, iced coffee and strawberry thickshake) were delicious. (We spent Barbour $25-$35 per person per meal). Only thing to note is their website says they stop taking orders at 2:30 - we were there on a Thursday and it was 2pm that they stopped taking orders - we got there at 1:50 and just made it. Picking the strawberries was so much fun and we got some amazing delicious strawberries from it. They have a petting farm for $5 a person and that provides you a bag of feed for the animals. We chose not pay but just walked along the fence and adored from a far the cute baby goats. Beautiful scenery - highly recommend taking your pit stop here next time instead of the highway Maccas.
We loved our visit at The Berry Dairy. The strawberry daiquiris were delicious. The kids loved picking strawberries and and petting the cute goats.
We went for a drive out here on Australia Day weekend. The weather was lovely & as u can imagine, it was very busy. We had their berry dairy milkshake which was delicious. U can pick your own strawberries or purchase already picked. There is an animal farm there & it is dog friendly. Plenty of seating area & quite a few menu options.
We have been as a family to the berry dairy farm, very lovely experience, the kids were so happy playing with the farm animals. The ice cream was very fresh and delicious. Many play areas Family friendly atmosphere Places to park. Will definitely go back.
