Visited the chocolatier with the missus. Really nice scenery. There is a lot of parking available. Because it's visited by tourists, there might be buses parked but they have their own parking area within the car park. Parking is free. Near the entrance there is a digital information screen. When you walk further up the path past the information screen, you get a ice-cream serving station. Past this is the main entrance to the chocolate factory and restaurant area. It maybe very busy so if you cannot get a table inside, they have a temporary covered dining area as the establishment is being renovated. Inside, there is another ice-cream serving station near cafe where you can get some nice food. There is a glass window which gives you a view of the chocolate factory in action. There are a few samples to taste plus three types of chocolate buttons to try. This is a bit more expensive than the one in Phillip Island but it has a view that is awesome. Great for anyone to visit. Plenty of space for kids to play. There are signs that "say no dogs, no picnics but lots of fun." There is a notice near the bathrooms (which are located where you buy chocolate) that tells you what's on during June to September at the chocolatier. We ordered a long black and hot chocolate. Both reasonably priced. Also got some chocolate macarons. The drive is also great.
