I have often dined here for breakfast, lunch or dinner and have almost always found the meals to be delicious and very good value for money. The interior is somewhat dated (I believe plans are in place to update) but the restaurant and bar open out onto two large rear dining decks (upper and lower) that overlook the beach and, consequently, the view is superb.
The staff members are always friendly and welcoming and there are good discounts on meals if you are a member.
Overall a fantastic place to enjoy almost any type of dining experience be it an intimate meal for couples, family dining, or a large group dinner and drinks.

I was very impressed with the service provided by Plush in Bundall. The employees were very helpful and friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. There were very eager to please without being at all pushy, and were of tremendous help in assisting with my choice of leather lounge and deciding on a fabric for a footstool.
I definitely recommend visiting Plush if you are looking for lounge room furniture and want fantastic service and great value for money.

If you want a good price for your home in a tough market use Hocking Stuart Ringwood!!
After initially listing our home with another agent, and receiving zero offers over several months (and being instructed to reduce our price several times), we signed up Karen and her team at Hocking Stuart in Ringwood and sold our home quite quickly, for a price we were very happy with.
Karen was at all times very upbeat and professional and most of all super-enthusiastic about being sure she could not only sell our home but get us a good price as well (which she did). This was really important as we had pretty much lost hope of ever selling at all, let alone getting a good price. All the team were very easy to deal with and nothing was too much trouble.
I can't recommend Karen and her team highly enough. Her market knowledge, drive, attention to detail and professionalism were simply outstanding. Hocking Stuart have restored my faith in Real Estate Agents!
I have been using Net Optical for the past few years and am very satisfied with both their products and their customer service. They are by far the best value for money that I have found. I would definitely recommend them to anyone!
This cafe is fantastic for parents with young children and people who want to catch up for a quick coffee and light lunch or snack. It has a small play area for young children to climb, slide and play while mums and dads can sit and watch while having a lovely coffee. There is also a large open space for people or groups to sit on beanbags or pull up a chair for an informal coffee/lunch and chat. For people without kids, looking for a quieter space, there are nice tables and chairs over the other (quieter) side of the cafe. The staff are very friendly and the prices are excellent. It can get a little hectic and busy at certain times in the play area. Brilliant community initiative!
Byteback is a computer recycling program currently being trialled in Victoria (not sure about other states). If you have any old computer equipment (Monitors, drives, printers etc) then you can take them to various Byteback locations around Melbourne free-of-charge. I took my ancient computer parts, monitors, printers and accessories to the Boorondara Waste Transfer Station in Camberwell and it was quick, easy and free.

If you are looking for a great Obstetric GP and/or a family doctor then Colchester Medical Centre is highly recommended. Dr Nolle was brilliant throughout my high-risk pregnancy and Dr Hurr is a very thorough and lovely family GP who really takes the time to get to know her patients and is great with women, men and children alike.
I have been going to Natskin for a few years now and the new location is lovely. The staff are always friendly and accommodating and the service is great. If you're looking for a massage I'd probably suggest going to an actual massage therapist but for facials and waxing I would definitely recommend Natskin

Bar Bosh is a good place to go for a casual dinner out. On a Friday night the place can be very busy with a lively, vibrant atmosphere and the service is friendly. The meals are good (love the Lamb Tagine) but it depends on your taste preferences.
Approximate cost: $20 - $25
Love this place! This is where I would go for a special occasion, rather than just a dinner out, as the meals are definitely more pricey than other places nearby, but the ambience is fabulous and the service impeccable. The food is divine and the after-dinner cocktails in the cosy, funky lounge upstairs are knockouts! Be sure to book in advance.
