I had my wedding reception here in 2004... absolutely beautiful! The food was fantastic, the staff were prompt, friendly and helpful, the dining area has a cozy and intimate feel. The room caters for up to about 100 people, I had 75 at my wedding and it wasn't stuffy, it was just perfect. It is right on the water's edge, and has 'old world charm, so it was fantastic for photo opportunities.

Great Service, and very clean. Their variety is great and includes waffles, ice creams, fuit salads, milk & thick shakes... Can't go past their Jaffa Milkshakes! Great views too, right across the road from the beach.

This place is great... I have timeshare at a 5 star hotel in Coolangatta, and this is the first place I go every morning to get fresh bread and rolls for lunch that day. Absolutely perfect bread and THE BEST custard tarts. Their pies a quite good too, with a large variety.

This is the first ever beautician I attended - at the age of 12!
They do great hair removal and massages. The staff are friendly and and make every effort to make you feel comfortable. Pricing is great, and it is very local.

Best Fish, Chips & Burgers in the Outer West!!!

My husbands favourite is a burger with the lot, mine is their plain hamburger & seafood salad... & we both love their chips & scollops.

My mum travels 20mins just for one 50 cent potato scollop! They make their own potato scollops.

I have only seen 1 of the 3 dental surgeons here... Dr Looyschelder. He is magnificent! I am needle-a-phobic, and yet I am never scared when going here for a filling or extraction. He has been wonderful, and when I needed my wisdom teeth taken out, he refered me to the best ever dental/facial reconstructive surgeon rather than trying himself. VERY professional in my opinion :-)

This is an extremely relaxing Salon.. the mood is great and the salon is very clean. Wonderful products are used... I am allergic to many beauty products, however the range that this business is very gentle on the skin, and makes you feel like a new woman when leaving.
They do everything from make-up to nails, massages to facials & hair removal. This is a fantastic beautician, and I would suggest that you give it a go!

When I first moved to Sydney my sister pointed me in the direction of this hair dresser, however after a few time of going there I was a bit disappointed... Although the prices are decent, I believe the hairdressers that work there actually lack imagination. Most of the guys had to wait a long time too (no appointments for men)

Approximate cost: $20 +

The guys are great here, and don't try to rip women off with 'creating' extra uneccessary things wrong with your car...

I am a car girl, and know my engines. I have been to plenty of mechanics that try to rip me off and I have told them they are dreaming... However I put these guys to the test, and they passed with flying colours! I do most of the little stuff at home like oil changes, fan belt replacements, cleaning the spark plugs etc. I usually only use a mechanic for the bigger stuff as I don't own the equipment or have the space to do it in... So girls, if you are not of mechanic mind.. go here, it's great.

Approximate cost: $Varies - but they do quote for FREE

Fantastic Original Mexican cuisine full of flavour... I have been to 3, two in Qld and the one in Parramatta, and they have all been the same, great food, great staff and value for money. The restaurant has a very relaxed atmosphere, and is very colourful and full of different Mexican trinkets to look at while you wait for your meal to arrive. You can also get take away!

Definitely one for the family.
