Bodalla Dairy Shed Guest Rooms

We arrived at Bodalla dairy hotel after a very long drive to be informed (after standing around for ages waiting for them to find our booking) that they had overbooked and that there was no room for us! It was extremely unprofessional and upsetting. The entire south coast was fully booked out. It was a complete disaster! There was no sympathy or compassion from the hotel staff. The manager told us that the same thing had happened the day before as well! I would urge you to stay else where in case the same thing happens to you :(

This is a great stop when travelling in the area. There’s even accommodation attached. It’s a gorgeous little village with the dairy, a pub, gift store and more. The cheese tasting if free and the staff are obviously proud of the products. If it’s cold outside there is a huge fireplace inside, but on sunny days the outlook from the deck is beautiful.

We didn't stay in the accommodation and came for the cheese tasting. We went on a Saturday and it was busy as all get out. There could probably do with some better signage for where to wait etc. because a few people in the know had worked out to jump the queue you should just go down to the cheese tasting area. Orders can be taken for food, icecreams or beverages etc at any of the registers and so now I also just go straight to the cheese area. If you order food they give you one of these light up table number buzzer things which works well. The toasted ham and cheese sandwich was absolutely delicious and especially chock full of yummy melted cheese of course. I tried the yogurt and OH MY GOODNESS, it was absolutely divine. The berry and the passionfruit were winners for me. The yogurt was thick and the consistency of cream cheese so if you like thick yogurt this is the one for you. The products are not cheap, but they are excellent quality and hand-made.

I only had a coffee here but it was lovely and the cafe was beautiful! There is a garden, two beautiful outside seating areas and a place you can overlook the ranges . The staff were friendly and there is a little gift shop inside.
