Berry World

Berry World at Timboon is the Great Ocean Road's pick-your-own stop, about 15 minutes inland from the Twelve Apostles. The strawberry fields come with an unlikely twist: a fully licensed authentic Thai restaurant on the farm, plus a cafe, farm animals including a Clydesdale horse, and even Airbnb accommodation overlooking the rows.

What You Can Pick

• Strawberries - October to April, advertised from $5.50

Activities

• The Berry Good Thai - licensed Thai restaurant on the farm
• Farm animals to meet, including the resident Clydesdale
• Farm stay - on-site accommodation above the strawberry fields

Good to Know

Open Tuesday evenings from 5pm and Wednesday to Sunday from 11am, with pre-picked berries in the fridge if the fields are picked over. Pricing starts from $5.50; confirm the details on arrival. Timboon's distillery and ice creamery are minutes away for a full food-trail day. Pre-picked punnets wait in the refrigerated display for anyone short on time, and the farm animals keep younger visitors happy between the rows. Timboon itself is a food-trail town, so the farm slots naturally into a day of distillery, cheese and ice cream stops.

Pro tip: pick a punnet in the afternoon, then stay for Thai dinner on the farm.
