Very Impressed with this store. There is a sufficient amount of staff and they are always around the aisles and able to help you. Has all the same products as the big supermarket chains plus a few of their own. There is often free samples of products being made during the week. I like the quality and range of fruit and vegies.

I was pleasantly surprised by this site, as I don't know anyone who has used it so I was unsure of it's authenticity. I bought a pretty good quality vacuum cleaner from them. Not only is the product great but it was posted and got to me in 4 days.

It is so great to go to a pharmacy and feel like you really are getting your money's worth. The prices are cheap for the same brands other pharmacies charge double for. The staff are very helpful and always smile.

Dinning is absolutely lovely at night with the moonlight over the lake, it really sets a mood. The food is great and you can taste how fresh the ingredients are. Quite often I have seen the owner check on tables which gives a more personel feel, like they really want to cook for you.
Their gelati is exquisite and with a kids meal it is just a nice small portion to stop their sugar craving but still be resonably healthier than ice-cream.

I liked that lollipops has a separate area for littlies away from the main play area. The spinning teacups was also good. The cafe was very dissapointing. On one occasion They lost our order and then forgot about it so it took 1hr to get 3 cups of coffee. I have found the staff seem to be quite disinterested in the kids and never seem to smile.

Firstly, Dinos is quite large. It is 3(kiddie) Stories high and each level is completely different. Service is pretty good and I have often received discounts on entry etc.
It is a bit dissapointing that there is no eftpos at the cafe but there is at the entrance.
Dino's very easily appeals to kids up to 10, due to it being so large, which is also great on busy days as there is still ample play area. I don't like that older kids often go in the under 4 area and just knock over babies as it is easily accesible for them.
Facilities are great including 2 ballpits, 4 slides coming from the top level to the bottom and one from the middle level down and a little flying fox

We have been to funkee monkees a few times and have found it to be one of the best play centres for the under 5 age group. I love that the entire area seem to cater moore for under 5's, has a softer tone/appeal and therefore deters school age kids from coming. At other playcentres I find my child gets hurt often as he is 2 and especially in school holidays many older children will take over the play area.
The entire area is small in space which is also good as it limits numbers a bit. The Structure of the play area is great and I think it is a good idea to keep all the cars separate from the rest of the centre.
Service with a smile is always a plus in my books and the pay at the end is quite convienient and easy.

I love the range of food for sale and on the menu. I love that the owners serve food which is from their culture. It is a bit small but works out really cosy in winter when they serve superb home made soups. They also serve some traditional homemade desserts which are also a cut above the rest.

Family Day carehas been great. My son only goes once a week but he loves it. It is a lot more personal as there is only one caregiver who looks after the child so they also get to know their caregiver well. This last week I had a conference to go to and they found someone to care for my child just for the one day. It really gives a sense of community.

The range of wedding dresses was absolutely exquisite. The bridesmaid/formal dresses were lovely with a few unique designs. They have a lovely range of accesories but could do with a touch more diversity. Overall this was a good experience. The staff were very helpful and let us try on many dresses without making us feel like it was too much.
