Churchill Island

A great place to visit with the family. Thought I'd be bored but the activities are super informative and interesting. The sheering and working dogs was a highlight. We went on a Saturday so the farmers market was on. A great way to spend the day

Fantastic place to visit.
This natural haven (just off Phillip Island) is well worth showing off to visitors.
You are very likely to see Cape Barren Geese and lots of other wildlife!
Make sure you go into the Visitor Centre as there is much history on display.
Here are some photos of our visit...

What a lovely day out - my friend and I, both with toddlers, loved it! The kids loved going around all of the different animals with wide open spaces with pictures perfect views and interesting activities! Beautiful setting with an awesome cafe! I'm sure it could get busy (as the parking area seemed very large, and very quiet when we went) but it was a perfect day for us!

Went there for the kids to relax, the cafe has great food! Breaky options are the bomb!

See for yourself :)

Thank you for having us. The chicken tenders for the kiddies are amazing! Everything was well cooked. Worth the money!

My sister and I visited this farm last year 2022. It was a great experience. We loved it 🥰 enjoyed milking the cow 🐄 watching working dog and animals. It’s a good place to bring kids but you can have fun even if you’re adults like us 😆 highly recommended 👏🏽

I've been to Phillip island many times but always drive past this place. First time going here and it was a hidden gem. The area is beautiful. There is plenty of parking, a cafe, toilets. You'd have to pay to enter the main area but the walk around Churchill island is free. Many interesting animals to see: cattle, peacocks, donkey and more

Historical buildings, friendly animals and good place to walk around :)
Perfect with nice weather

A great place to visit, I visited in 2018 we arrived at about 11:15-1:30pm we got to see everything which was great 👍 unfortunately this time we arrived at 10:20-11:45am and some of the attractions didn't start until 2pm which was a little disappointing, so we didn't get to see them 😢
I would like to see the main attractions to run 2-3 times per day more so on long weekends!
Pony rides and some old school farm games could be added for kids fun👌

Great place for the family to go and have a look at how they managed on Churchill Island. The kids had great fun running around the farm and looking at some of the animals they have. Or you may like to check out the cottages they lived in. The gardens are great and very looked after. There is a cafe and souvenir shop if you like to buy a gift.

Great place to visit, very interesting, great cafe, toilets, reasonable prices

Loved the demos! And such a beautiful area. The staff of course was friendly and shared lots of information

loved this place. it is great to bring if you have kids and also if you are looking to spend a peaceful time. it is big in area and there were farm animals and even some time slot for some wonderful activities. enjoyed watching Rip bringing the sheep back to its herd. also the cafe area is cute and the view is just amazing from this place.

One of the best experiences in the area. Enjoyable time for the kids to visit a real farm and have close touch with the farm animals. The place is well served and maintained. The only thing that can be improved is the food service, I find it over priced and under served.

Beautiful Farm for Tourist Attraction & Family picnic! Very enjoyed it our time Milking milk from the Cow, Riding the Tractor, watching Sheep Shearing and roaming around the area!

This is a real nice place to visit. Good for families. Plenty of farm animals & wildlife to see

Love, love, love this place. Full of interesting facts about the history of the island, as well as seeing the activities on offer, blacksmithing, whip cracking, shearing, sheep-dog display. The gardens are full of beautiful flowers some of which would be deemed as "old fashioned". The view from the house of the surrounding water is absolutely beautiful. So tranquil and relaxing. Not my first time here, and this wont be my last. Look out for the Peacock whilst walking through the gardens!

Heard really good things about Churchill island but was really impressed myself when I went with the family. Lots of informative sessions that’s great for all the family like milking the cow, sheep shearing, working farming dog and surprisingly my kids liked the whip cracking!
Cafe adjacent at reception was really lovely for scones and hot drink!

Do not hesitate to explore this place. Really nice scenery and lots of animals will welcome you. Awesome experience.

Beautiful farm, lovely views and animals! Nice cafe, great food and friendly staff
