This is an awesome historic cinema/theatre dating back to the 1930's. The cinema seats about 400 patrons and is classically beautiful in it's decor. Ticket prices are much cheaper than other mainstream cinemas and staff are pleasant and friendly. Movies are sometimes behind from other cinema release dates, but worth waiting for if you want to see it cheaper and in cool old-style surrounds. They also show more of the art-house type films compared to the Coffs Harbour local Carol and Birch. Sawtell First Avenue Cinema is tops!! Also can't beat their selection of choc top flavours. The entire candy bar is well stocked, quality and affordable. Feels good to support a local business rather than a chain.

This is a great nursery and a great place to check out, not just for plants. The garden and grounds are beautiful to walk around. There are loose bird things roaming free which is fun also. Great nic-nacs and gift ideas and an awesome cake display in their cafe. Definately a nice place for a sit-down morning or afternoon tea. And of course to pick up garden stuff at what seem to be reasonable prices.

Crumpler have a really fun and informative website and some trendy little stores in Melbourne to see their products in the flesh. I found when I went to the stores for my bag I had imagined them bigger than they actually were from seeing them online so ended up with something other than I had originally wanted. But I am very happy with the bag, my partner has one too. Great for lap tops and all sorts of things. Comfy to carry and well made with excellent quality materials. Hard to compare to something else of it's kind but I personally think the prices are a little steep. I have recently moved to Coffs Harbour and have found Crumpler products far cheaper here in the 'Wow' store than what you can buy them direct from Crumpler.

Pretty good mexican food (i had the vegetarian bean option). VERY cheesy - but I guess that comes with the territory. Casual family dining environment, I say family because there were lots of families there when we visited. Service was fine. With a tequila in the name we expected more tequila drink options or a bigger cocktail list in general. But cocktail prices were better than most and very well presented with all the decorations. HUGE serving of corn chips as a side order. They also do take away which I am very much looking forward to trying soon!

For a large hotel/restaurant our visit here today was absolutely terrible. While staff were organising a table for us, a larger group of customers who had already eaten decided to switch tables from under the marquee to out in the sun. The waitress allowed them go ahead with their move, which meant shoving us on the already soiled/used table they had come from with all their used cups, cutlery, napkins etc sitting in front of us. After some time organising the table switch, our table was cleared and we were given our menus. Two of us went to order the drinks and food at the bar and were appalled to have to wait at the bar to bring the drinks back to our table ourselves. Considering the prices of both drinks and food on the menu, to not even get table service is pretty ordinary - this is not a small place, we expected more. Our $8.50 wedges and $13.50 vegie pizza were delivered and I have to say the wedges were the WORST in quality and value I have EVER come across. The bowl was tiny (regular chips at half the price were a bigger serving as seen on a table across from us) and the wedges were soggy and flavourless. The pizza was ok, a bit oily, but adequate. Under the marquee was extremely noisy. This whole experience was not a good one and we won't go back. In comparison to other local venues such as Gee Cee's and Assunta's this place had nothing at all going for it from this visit and I would reccommend elsewhere. Cake choices were also limited and no competition to other venues as mentioned above.

We decided to visit here after reading the previous two reviews on womow. It was great to try somewhere new and what a great place! Service was astounding, one of the best experiences I have had. The waitress we had was incredibly attentive, we did not want for anything at any time. Excellent array of meals to choose from, I took previous advice and had the Assunta's pasta which was great. Other meals tried were the chicken ceaser salad, chicken polo and lamb souvlaki - all were enjoyed. Great value in the herb bread cob for entre too. Venue was comfy and bright. Big fan of the after dinner mints that came with the bill. Will definately be visiting here in the future. Top notch experience.

We had so much fun at Australia Zoo over Easter weekend. On arrival we were givin free muffins topped with easter eggs - staff were friendly and accommodating. The zoo grounds are absoultely stunning. Lush gardens and fantastic enclosures for all the animals. There are some great hands on experiences to be had like feeding the elephants, kangaroos and farm animals in the kids zoo like goats, sheep and pigs. Patting the farm animals and koalas was also a highlight. Heaps of food options in the food court and fairly resonably prices it seems considering there is nowhere else to get food they could certainly hike up the cost a lot more than they have. We were really fortunate to see Terri Iwin and Wes Mannion in the Crocoseum for the morning show. We felt overall this show was lacking something - but we were completely rained out on Easter Saturday and that may have had something to do with it. This really was a fun day out. The zoo it seems is undergoing a major 3-7 year plan to expand, so we look forward to returning in the future to see what's going on. Very impressive and enjoyable on all counts.

The Entertainment Book is not only great value for money saving you STACKS on meals and entertainment, it is also a great resource for finding new places to try. Most of our meals out begin with the Entertainment Book. We have discovered many places that are now faves which we regularly attend. This book is great value for money, great for the community and charities that sell the books and excellent to use all year-round for all sorts of businesses. Both buy-one-get-one-free and 25% off vouchers for restaurants are a great excuse to eat out more and take the whole family too.

This is a beautiful winery in the King Valley countryside. Great location, awesome building, great wine. And you cannot visit without meeting Spud the mini pony who hangs around the grounds eating grass and apples (or he was when we visited some years back), he's adorable! The surrounds of this place has kept in my mind from just one visit. Would be a superb venue for a wedding - if they even do that sort of thing.
