We have been here a couple of times for breakfast and also for lunch. Serving size is small for the prices but the meals are lovely and very tasty. Good idea to book as it always seems very busy. Lovely surrounds with the Lake and feeding the ducks is very popular with the kids. The beautiful gift store has a great range of things on offer and I love to browse through to get ideas but it is very expensive.

The family all chipped in together to buy my mother two helicopter tickets for her birthday. It was quite expensive but well worth the price. The pilot and ground staff were just brilliant and took special care of my mother who is quite frail. She enjoyed every second of the flight and was still beaming from the experience several days later. A brilliant gift idea for anyone!

We came here for breakfast on the weekend and were really impressed with the prices and the size of the meals. Service was a little slow which was disappointing as the restaurant was not even half full. Great atmosphere. Plenty of tables outside to enjoy the sunshine. The only down side is the majority of the car parking in the area is only 30 minute or 1 hour so we felt a little rushed.

I was urgently trying to get 100 t-shirts printed with our charity's logo and web address for two upcoming fundraising events and it was suggested by a friend that I contact Mr Tee Shirts to see if they could help. Kate's customer service was just amazing! She followed through the project from start to finish and constantly kept me updated with the progress of our order. She even express posted me samples of the t-shirts and colour swatches to make sure we were happy with the quality, styles and colours before they started printed our shirts. The t-shirts were delivered on the Friday for the Monday night event and feedback from all the volunteers has been fantastic. I would absolutely recommend Mr Tee Shirts to anyone needing promotional wear for their events and clubs.

Great atmosphere and dining room decor is lovely with large timber beams spanning the ceiling. We had four people at our table and we all tried pastas and desserts. Food was lovely, staff were friendly and the meals were delivered quickly even thought the restaurant was fully booked. Will definitely visit again.

I have been going here for a few years now and in the beginning it seemed that this was another impersonal bulk billing clinic - great for quick things like refilling prescriptions but not for ongoing issues. But the last three or four visits I have been really happy with the service I received. The doctor I saw went out of his way to try to get a free sample in of a new brand of tablets for me. They also have a callback service that notifies you when you are due for booster shots and new tests etc.

Great local fish and chippery. Prices are good as to be expected with fish and chips. Quick and friendly service. The burgers are are my favourite. It is quite hidden from the main road though so it is easy to miss it.

Went here on a Sunday night for my birthday dinner. We booked a table for 6.30pm and when we arrived we were the first people in the restaurant. The waitresses checked the list and found our names (there was only 4 other names on the list for the whole night) but then couldn't seem to find a table for us to sit at (the whole restaurant was empty). It was a good 5 mins before they bothered to show us to a table. the next group of guests who arrived were also given the same treatment. I ordered the soup of the day which was a minestrone. It was very thin and quite oily. My husband had the calamari entree which he loved. For the mains I had the marinara linguine which was probably the best pasta dish I've ever had. The seafood was very fresh and there was plenty of it. My husband ordered the chefs special which was a seafood risotto which was very disappointing as there did not seem to be much seafood in it at all. Overall we had mixed feelings about the night. Hlf of the meals were great the other half very average. Wait staff were very inexperienced.

This used to be the La Grotta restaurant. Great tasty pizzas and pastas at a fantastic price. The restaurant section is huge and is great for big family gatherings as an inexpensive meal. Takeaway section is always busy. Plenty of main meals to choose from in the restaurant and the service is quick and friendly.

I have been to Burger Lounge on three occasions so far (twice to eat in and once for takeaway). There is a great variety of burgers and wraps including chicken and vegetarian options. Burgers are made fresh with lots of quality gourmet toppings. The herb chips with the aioli dipping sauce are to die for. Servings are huge and will satisfy the biggest appetite. It does seem a bit expensive when you go with a group (our take away bill was $80) but the meals are definitely worth it. The only downside is the venue is quite small so it is a bit of a struggle to find a table as this place is always super busy. If the owners managed to get a liquor license in the future I imagine it would be even more popular.
