a friend and i visited this store this week after the opening. what a bargain place! everything no matter what it is ,is $2.80.
kitchenware,bathroom,stationary,everything is korean or japanese items. we had so much fun before closing finding all sorts of different items. ceramic cups, baskets,laundry items,unusual items . colour co ordinated kitchenware. easy to keep tabs on your bill with everything being same price. place is bright purple and very welcoming .not sure if the purple balloons over entrance will stay though but its fun.im definitely making a return trip with a full a fuller wallet.fun purple shopping trolley to drag behind you instead of pushing infront . i ended up with a few presents and some novelties and a few spray bottles i needed. every aisle is like "oh look at this"

This place is such a treat! Rather expensive but they are all hand made and have the most delicious flavours. They all look so good. The place is open 7 days and have fudges, truffles and pralines. Its hidden away down the end of the mall but go for a walk and you wont regret it. Every time i go there i end up buying about $30 ,hard to share with family. Love the fruit flavour chocolates like the mandarin. The endless flavours of fudge are great, i personally like the jaffa. Will be back again and again when i save enough money

Visited here a few times when on school hols with my kids. Was rather impressed. Small place,seats outside,very quiet,but the hamburgers and the fish were ever so nice. Little greasy but far from detracting from the taste. We found the place by accident driving somewhere else over that way for lunch and ended up trying this place. Lady behind the counter was friendly. We sat outside to eat and was really enjoyable

The only butcher i now go to. We are on a strict budget so therefore can never afford porterhouse or free range meat but at super butcher i can. The meats are so nice ,juicy and tender, whatever moisture infused pork is its delectable. Trying so much more meat from here than i can never afford from the supermarkets. They also have added veg and pantry items. The guys will cut your bigger slabs of meat any way you want for you. So many types of sausages though im leaving the cheese and vegemite ones alone, yuk to vegemite ! Herb sausages, thai all sorts of things. As molly would say " do yourselves a favour" and go have a look. They have 5 stores dotted all over so google and see whats close to you

Very impressed with this little hideaway fish and chip cafe. Its back yard tables are set along the lakes and whilst eating you are surrounded by water, wild life, watch the ducks,very serene ,or take a blanket and go sit under the trees by the lake to eat, lovely. The food is tasty and not greasy,the seafood basket is very filling. They have some different drinks which os good rather than the usual cokes and fantas, juices and waters are unusual as well. This is a must to find when in mapleton or take a little day trip. You wont be sorry. On the other side of the lake the kids can play on the. Equipment whilst you sit and watch them or walk over the little island bridge to reach the other side of the lake. Everything looks great on the menu,yeah we sticky beak at other peoples plates lol. Sit out back or go sit by the water .rices are very reasonable

cant wait to do this again. took my kids twice once to see turtles and the following january to see the hatchlings
you pre book at the info centre in bundy and show up at about 7pm or before, be prepared for a wait though our first time didnt happen till 1 am and we were in group 4,just depends on when the turtles show up, we brought sleeping bags ,snacks and drinks as there was nothing there, think the 2nd time there were food vans out in the car park set up. truely amazing experience the staff involve you in and especially the kids,they are allowed to move the eggs with the staff and stand and make a parade line down the beach for when the mother has laid her eggs and enters the water again. such an awesome experience,none of us have forgotten, the hatchlings program is much the same , walk along the beach in the night sometimes with a torch to watch the tiny magical creatures make it safely down the sand to the water, you an camp close to mon repo or the caravan park. costs are cheap 10 + for adults or more for families but so well worth while, the morning after we actually saw another turtle on the beach laying her eggs in day time was extraordinary

ive frequented this little mid mall stall a fair few times now and what makes it different is that the chilli prawn has the sauce wrapped in with it and makes it so sweet and different. the tempura prawn also has a delicious mayo in with it. most others just give you sauce as an extra or you just cant taste the difference between them, always fresh and cooled to the right temperature. the prices seem cheaper than other places too. ive also tasted the crumbed chicken sushi and its just as delicious as the others ive tried. i will keep going back as long as they are this nice

this is the place to stop for decent food. never had a problem here over the years. have bought seafood packs,hamburgers and nz drinks, the seafood baskets are great except i dont like the orange tongue scallops yuk not just from them but i dont like em anyway lol. the shop is clean, you can sit out on the street at tables or go across to the park and grab a table to sit down and watch the sail boats .parking on street is a plenty. the prices arent bad and when you're done you can go back in for gelato yummy. staff are young teens and do well and a few are really friendly. keep it up guys

I cant say enough praise for this place. treehouses are a must for a special occassion. sunshine hinterland, peace and quiet. fantastic homestyle service. ive made it an item to save all year to spend the weekend for my birthday. the atmosphere, views of the lake and wildlife are exceptional. we fed the possums bananas on the balcony and met russell the crow who knocked his beak on our glass balcony door and the kitchen window when we didnt know what the noise was and fed him some breads. the welcome hamper is so full of goodies for snacks and breakfast. the warm croissants are left at your door each morning with a tap on the door,the staff are there but unobtrusive so you feel like you're the only ones there, the carvings on the room doors and the walkways are stunning, umbrellas are at the door and logs for the fire are just outside. the spa and the balcony swing chair i want to take home. you can order any service form massages to meat baskets for the barbie. you just dont want to leave.pity we had to. its been my thing for 3 years now. the showers are extraordinary ,you can fit a roosters footy team in them ( i wish) so huge and the penthouse platypus room you can see outside through a glass small window in the shower. george and his wife have an awesome property and have just added a gorgeous cafe,you really dont have to leave for anything. pricey but well worth the expense, say no to a 5 star motel and try the treehouses at montville,you wont be disappointed
