This review is for Luna Park Sydney, Milsons Point NSW

verified email - 04 Aug 2008

Luna Park Basically remains as Sydney's Oldest and really Only permanent Theme/Amusement park. Best travel option is still the train, its an easy stroll down hill, but it's quite a way's back, especially for tired legs and worn out bodies. Entry is Free which makes it a nice place to visit and look around, those the real deal in luna park is the rides. At $48 for anyone over 130cms, a day with the family could easily run into hundreds of dollars. The rides are exillerating and fun, whilst some are scarey, there is a little bit of everything. The funhouse remains the cause of many "skin-off" accidents from friction burn and Ideally they should have a medical treatment room in it, because if you dont have a wrist band entering and exiting for medical treatment will cost you $8 per go. and a good 5 minute walk to find the 1st aid station. I do strongly suggest taking food or drinks with you as luna parks prices there are also very steep, a family of 4 could easily go through $100 just on lunch (4 pies, chips, drinks & ice-creams). It is a good day out if you plan carefully and get your wrist bands early (there is a discount when making wrist band puchases before 10am)

Approximate cost: $48 ticket only

This review is for Lemon Tree Passage Bowling Club, Lemon Tree Passage NSW

My husband and I went to have a night out at the Lemon Tree Passage Bowling Club during our recent honeymoon. The atmosphere in this establishment is lovely, not to loud but not too quiet. The refurbishment is excellent, modern yet contemporary. he bistro dinning was quite an experience, a real dinning pleasure. The food was excellent the service very prompt and pleasant. The Lemon Tree Passage Bowling Club has a friendly welcoming feel and the locals make you feel right at home. The bar staff were fast and the gaming experience a delight. Our whole night was just a great joy for my husband and myself, If we are ever back up that way, we will defiantly add it to our "gotta go back" list

This review is for Tree Of Life, Chatswood NSW

Kaitlyn at the Chatswood store helped me immensely, hunting down 6 "Enchantress" dresses in 3 different sizes and 3 different colors that were end of line (no longer being produced) and even offered to post them to me so I wouldn't have to come and collect them. Tree of life in general is a wonderful aternate clothing/lifestyle business, they have many fine clothes and giftwares from all over the world. They have frequent specials and are willing to above and beyond thier customers expectations. With a loyalty discount card as an added bonus. This business gets all thumbs up. Pleasure

This review is for Target, Campbelltown NSW

The staff at Campbelltown Mall's Target are excellent, always greeted with a smile and a "How are you today?" My best experience with them was during the "Toy Sale" when everyone's hot and tired from shopping and there seem's to be a million people in the store, the friendly staff there are only too happy to grab you an extra trolley, help you to a shorter line, or hunt down that elusive item, for what is an extreamly busy time of the year, the staff remain courteous, helpful and patient. It is truly a delight to shop in Target, they have my business for life!

This review is for Cozy Home Decor, Campbelltown NSW

Planning for a wedding is a big task we all know this, but some business's just make promises to gain sales, Cozy Home Decor is one of these business's. Sadly to say I found some perfect candelabras for our wedding in their cramped shop, upon inquiry I was told that more of this item would be arriving in stock soon (as they did not have the required amount of items) I left my business card with home and mobile number anxiously awaiting their promised call.Weeks passed and I contacted them time and time again, 2 weeks till the wedding and still no call. I went to the store to return the items already purchased, without my reciept they did allow me to change the items for something else, however I was extreamly dissapointed when I was told, the items I was after would not be arriving as the makers had stopped producing. A courteousy call when they 1st knew this would have saved the headache and expense of travel to return the items. I really wish they had just been upfront in the 1st place and told me "they didnt know if they would get more, or that there were no guarentee's or even hope of getting more, anything to make a buck guys....

This review is for McDonalds Family Restaurant, Campbelltown NSW

verified email - 04 Aug 2008

Awful!!! After a lengthy 10 minute wait to be served initially, we waited a further 8 minutes to get our food. Finally having a seat with our meal, we discover that one cheeseburger (ordered with extra pickles) had no meat on it, and the other cheeseburger was so old that it was as stale as a rock! I've never been so disgusted by a McDonald's Store in all my life. I swear I will NEVER!!! EVER!!! Eat there again

This review is for Dumaresq Street Cinema, Campbelltown NSW

verified email - 04 Aug 2008

Great family entertainment at an amazingly low price! This is Sydney's most affordable family entertainment. With Adult prices @ $6 and Children just $5 there simply is no better value! And don't think they'll pump up the price at the snack bar to make up for ticket prices, you can get Large Popcorn, large softdrink and a cadbury's Chocolate Bar all for just $6 UNBEATABLE!!!! you'd be lucky to get a popcorn for that price at any other establishment. The Dumaresq St Cinemas have been in business for as long as I can remember. And there are many fond memories of movies enjoyed. Way To Go!!! Local Business at its best.

Outstanding Service, Took me spare of the moment without an appointment to pierce my naval. Kept me calm and distracted whilst being pierced. Provided excellent follow up advise and care after the piercing. A Piercing is only as good as the person doing it and at Pattie's the people are brilliant! The price's are competitive. The service rooms are clean and sterile. I highly recommend this bu sines to anyone considering a new piercing

This review is for Kingsgrove Doggy Day Spa, Kingsgrove NSW

Amazing! What can I say about these people and their work ethics? Sam and Faye are truly "All about the dogs!" With an UNBEATABLE $40 full groom for any size dog, How could I go anywhere else! These people answer the phone 24/7, 2am on a sunday they WILL answer the call. Pleasent, honest, dog loving people. Supporters of numerous charity and community causes, including the guide dog assoc. and the masonic halls disabled children's fund, they are a beacon of the community and deserve high praise for their efforts. WELL DONE GUYS!!!
