Bellbrae - Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery

We're the sweetest destination on the Surf Coast! Join us at the start of the Great Ocean Road, just 20 minutes from Geelong to discover a wonderland for chocolate lovers of all ages. There's free entry and free tastings; you can watch our European Chocolatiers handcraft our chocolates; marvel at our spectacular showroom choc-filled with hundreds of different couverture chocolate creations; enjoy amazing pastries, fondues and our very own house made artisan ice creams.

Our all day Cafe serves delicious savoury items with ingredients from our own kitchen garden to go with a decadent array of desserts, hot chocolates and classic milk shakes. When tastings are done, explore our landscaped grounds and sand play area for the kids. Look out for our regular program of festivals and special events for all ages - with chocolate and ice cream the stars of the show!

There are free chocolate and ice-cream tastings. Upon arrival at the Chocolaterie, you will discover three huge bowls of milk, dark and white chocolate pastilles for you to taste. To help you decide on a favourite, you can ask our staff to taste any of our other 250 varieties. We also offer free tastings of our extensive range of ice cream flavours but do not offer free tastings of our truffle range.

Access for Dogs:

Due to the large number of families with kids that visit us and enjoy exploring our grounds, we have a no pet policy. We also have a large family of ducks and other wildlife on the property and wish to nurture them. We do not have a separate area that pets can play, so we hope you can understand our decision. We are happy to allow pets in the car park but they must be on a short lead.
