A great bakery in Bathurst. The bread is so fresh! And the prices are really, really cheap. Their pies/sausage rolls and sweet snacks also taste great.
The pizzas here are really good. They are made fresh and you can tell the ingredients are fresh as well. The only issue is that on a busy night you might be waiting a while, and the prices are quite steep. However, you always pay more for better food so I guess it's worth it.
One of the better rewards programs. There are two main advantages I can think of with Rewards Central; 1) you can earn points for shopping online and 2) you can link your account with My Opinions and transfer your points.
Of course, as with all rewards programs there isn't a lot of money to be made. I earned enough points to redeem a while ago, and the payments to your bank account are really slow (they do tell you this after you claim your rewards however, they say it can be up to 8 weeks). You might be better off getting a gift card, if that's any faster.
Overall, pretty slow to build up points however this is to be expected with all rewards programs. The payments are slow, but once again as long as they arrive I'm happy. Certainly one of the better programs.
Great Cafe. Although I've never had coffee here, the milkshakes and iced chocolates are great. The cakes & snacks are good also, but nothing special. The main meals are really good. Always taste great.
The service is great, really fast. They never miss your order or mess it up either. The cafe is clean and comfortable, conveniently located right in the middle of town.
Big W Bathurst is a good place to get things like clothes, cheaper than some other places like the speciality stores. Obviously they have a huge variety of things to choose from, from many different categories.
Their return policy seems fair. I have always been able to get a return on something that was faulty.
I would not however recommend getting electronics here. Simply because what price you see is what you pay. At other stores such as Harvey Norman, you can bargain with them and get a good deal. Big W lacks this.
The food is exceptional. There is a wide variety to choose from, and it's all great. Really high quality stuff. The staff are professional and quick, you'll never be left waiting for a drink or to order. For the quality of the food, the prices are very reasonable.
From our visits to the Malaya, it's obvious they cater for large groups as well.
The views are good too, you're overlooking Darling Harbour and you can see the boats coming and going.
Would highly recommend.
We ate here when we were in Yamba. The food was great, especially for a hotel. It was all fresh, quality ingredients, well presented and tasted great. The chips were the best I've ever had.
In daylight savings time, or at lunch, the view out ot sea is great. You can sit right up at the full floor to ceiling windows.
I would highly recommend The Pacific Hotel for lunch or dinner.
We stayed here in April 2012. We stayed in the best cabin available (Waterfront Spa Villa), and we certainly paid for it. It was $340 per night. Way, way overpriced. The beds were uncomfortable, kitchen hard to use and the lounge awful. Of course we weren't expecting motel room quality, but for $340 a night you expect much more than this (even when taking into account the park facilities).
The park facilities were good, they included two swimming pools, a games room, kids "play parks", giant jumping pillow and BBQs. And of course camping amenities.
The park is situated right on the Clarence River, which is good.
In conclusion the cabin we stayed in was way overpriced, even taking into account the facilities you got with it.
Approximate cost: $We paid $340 per night
Everything is so cheap here, and sometimes it's good value for money. Sometimes it's not thought, like for fresh fruit & vegetables. I wouldn't recommend shopping here for high quality items.
The actaul store is OK, but very understaffed. It's hard to find someone if you can't find something.
Good for people on a tight budget, that's about it.
The food is good and so is the coffee. The setting is great, indoor or outdoor. The people were very friendly.
One great thing about this cafe is that it is very ethical. Local ingredients, open range eggs for example. You know that you're not only getting a great meal/snack/coffee but also supporting local, cruelty free producers.
