This is nestled within the beautiful buderim rainforest. It is a lovely spot and the reason this restaurant is so popular, but frankly, you can't see a thing at night and the only wildlife are the biting mozzies. I've been here a few times and have never been thoroughly impressed with the food in accordance with the price. It's certainly edible and to a standard quality, but for the price it just doesn't hit the mark. We we're also a little peeved after booking in once with a party of approximately 15 guests for a birthday. We'd spent a large sum of money and upon requesting them to bring out our pre-purchased cake they notified us we'd be charged $4.50 each to eat it within the premises. We we're all disgusted and took it home to finish our celebrations.
Approximate cost: $30-39
I have flown quite a bit in the last few years and I have to say that Virgin cabin crew are just lovely. I have a son that's just turned two whom has just flown his sixteenth time and each time with Virgin, they we're unbelievably attentive. My only qualm is with the service staff at the desk of Virgin Melbourne. They seem to be void of any customer service logic. I flew with them again last month and was advised that they wouldn't take my Childs suitcase as check in despite having done it every other time as they had a new rule where even if my luggage was under the paid for 23kilos, if it was more than one bag, I couldn't take it or would have to gale it on the plane. So to make it clear, I had paid for 23kilos. I had split that into two bags, my sons and my own. But they decided they would rather watch me struggle with a baby, laptop, backpack, baby bag and Childs suitcase. When the cabin crew saw me, they rushed to my assistance disgusted with my treatment. They tried their best to assist me in and out of the plane and I had someone meet me at the plane to help me carry my bags to baggage in which I then had a baggage handler help me take my bags to pick up. They we're wonderful! They said the same thing, they continuously have issues with the Melbourne desk staff. I've personally had an issue every time I've flown with them. Be it snide comments or just plain rudeness.
Other than that, Virgin really is a great airline. Most of the planes are quite modern and depending on the plane, many have personal TV's at no extra cost and seats that are much more comfortable. They also offer snacks in some flights and tea and coffee in all of them.
This Bunnings is quite easy to get to and was the very first store I visited upon moving to Melbourne. It has a huge car park and I've never experienced any issues finding a park. They tend to have charities here on Saturdays and Sundays selling sausages and drinks to raise money which creates a nice community atmosphere when entering the store.
This Bunnings also has a café and a neat childrens playground which resembles some of the one's they sell.
There is plenty of stock, plenty of customer service (unless its the busy weekend) and our son loves the childrens trolleys they have.
A great and helpful business.
I've tried a few of these and this wasn't up to scratch compared to Knox. The burgers weren't cooked to the same standard and the staff not as friendly. The atmosphere is also a little bit more dead as its a part of the food court rather than its own restaurant.
Approximate cost: $15
This place has recently been opened and we were pleasantly surprised. I loved the large serving sizes of the chicken burger and the wife enjoyed the vegetarian option. The chips are really pricey and it woild be great to see them offering something more then the dodgy coke/fanta/sprite.
Approximate cost: $15
Great little service. Awesome tans with a range of different ones available. Highly recommended as it's a small business which is what WOMO is all about.
Approximate cost: $25
The owner (?) here is very helpful. I'm a regular customer and am always served promptly and given plenty of advice. Wishing I had of bought my latest printer from hom as two weeks later I am taking it back. I'm going to be back there to purchase the next one. I should have listened to him last time. Lesson learnt
It's about $10 to refill a cartridge depending on the type of course.
Approximate cost: $10
This is one of the better Nando's around. Service is great, not too busy and restaurant is a little bit hidden away making dining more relaxed. We often get the wraps from here. Chips are great with the provided sauces and the mini wraps and burgers are perfectly sized for kids.
Approximate cost: $15
We've been here a few times. The owner is very proud of his pizza shop. They have some wacky concoctions including peanut butter and vegemite. The prices are reaspnable and most are pretty ok. I thoroughly enjoyed them.
Approximate cost: $20
Great prices, huge servings, variety of flavours as well as organic option in cone or tub. A really great little ice creamery. We do however steer clear of the sorbets, they aren't the greatest. We prefer the cookies and nut varieties.
Approximate cost: $5
