Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The farm is beautiful and there are lots of activities you can join. But service people are rude!They checked our tickets FOUR times after we checked in, whenever we tried to use the toilet, went around souvenir shop, had lunch or even just ask a question at the service desk, they tried to ask "have you got tickets? ". It is a Wednesday and total visitors are only around 30 ppl, you can't miss count our family of 6. It made us completely annoyed when we are asked on the 3rd time, and there comes the 4th time! Thanks to your service, we didn't enjoy ourselves. Anyone who come here, make sure you get your tickets ready for all of your family members, at all time.

After a rude encounter with a lazy & rude staff member at a San remo fish & chip shop we decided to go to this cute little cafe with an amazing veiw ! Even though we came a bit late take-away was still an option and was well worth it! The lady who served us (in the black chef jacket) was very polite and even brought our take aways out side to us with some tomato sauce ! :) the food was beautiful! I had a toasted focchia (if that's how it's spelt :P) with some chips , and my brother and sister had some fish and chips ! We were all very happy and satisfied and will be returning on our next visit.
P.S more cafe space, less gift shop! Other wise fantastic !! :) :)

The Heritage Farm has breathtaking views of the water and surrounding islands. The farm was quite small and the planned events (such as sheep shearing, working dogs) was very interesting and exciting to watch. However, apart from those events, there wasn't much else to do. This is probably why everyone rushed between each event and there were few people actually walking around themselves.

We are locals & decided today to go to Churchill Island for lunch. The staff at the cafe are welcoming & the menu provides something for everyone. The food when it arrived was of a high standard & presented beautifully. The service was excellent & the ladies out front were charming. We had a walk round the farm but didn't watch any of the activities as we decided that we would bring our 6 year old great grandson here next school holidays. Lovely historic place well worth a visit.

My four daughter's and I travelled from Inverloch to use a voucher we had received for the cafe. After placing our order we presented the voucher for part payment (our order exceeded the voucher amount) we were told that it was no longer valid as there had been a change of ownership of the cafe. The voucher was still within the validity period however at no stage would the staff consider allowing the voucher to be used. When a business changes ownership any existing vouchers must be honoured. Extremely poor customer service! Upon our return home, I sent an email to the address on the voucher and was fortunate enough to be contacted by the previous cafe owner who apologised and rectified the issue immediately despite this not being his responsibility.

We spent a lovely time walking around the working farm and historical buildings beautifully maintained complete with historical information and delightful staff. Finishing with coffee and cake overlooking the inlet.

This place is a rip off. The cart rides were done with a tractor pulling a carriage and doing one round on a small field. Driver was ok but the man at the gate was so rude.

We were not expecting this visit in our day trip to the Philip Island. There's much to experience here but have little time, from whip cracking to milking cow, and from working dog show to sheep shearing.

We had our own private ranger (who was lovely and knowledgeable) take us around this working farm. Our main interest was seeing the sheepdog do its job with a flock of sheep. That was the best part of the visit albeit a very short exhibition. The dog is remarkable and it was so interesting to watch its skill in rounding up and moving the sheep around the fenced-in area.
There were several animals at the farm- a cow (which we were invited to milk) a few calves (saved from the butcher by this humanitarian group), two lambs, a large Clydesdale horse and many geese. There were other farm activities to see, the most notable being the sheep shearing. This was overbooked and overcrowded. There were not enough seats to accommodate the throng of visitors and some visitors pushed their way into the barn ramming themselves between those of us standing and the sheep shearer. A better system is needed to "corral" some very rude tourists.
The scenery is lovely.
