They cook the best fish and chips in Perth. Great value for money and the staff are always friendly and ready for a good chat. I often pop in to order Saturday lunch and have never been disappointed.

We recently visit for lunch on a week day. The service was very good even though the bistro was very busy. The food was outstanding - the lamb salad is a must. Good portions and very tasty. Well worth a visit.

Recently visited this restaurant for lunch, but have been on several other occasions. The Pizza menu is extensive and they do an all day breakfast until 3.00pm. My dining partner ordered steak and it was as to be expected - good portion for $31 complete with chips and salad. The crumbed lamb cutlets I ordered could do with improvement, as most of it was fat and the crumbs were very hard. The service was very attentive and we could not fault it. The visit to the conveniences was a little traumatic as they were very dirty and one was overflowing. Overall a pleasant way to spend a Sunday arvo.

Anytime a plane takes me to my destination is always a fantastic outcome, in my opinion. I will only fly Qantas as their service and safety record is excellent. At times I have missed connections through delays, but Qantas always rectify the situation with no out of pocket expenses. I am a member of the Qantas Club and love the service and amenities in their lounges around the world. I feel the meals are improving and enjoy the inflight entertainment. The cabin crew are always friendly and very helpful. I have not had a bad experience with Qantas and I am a true frequent flyer.

I shop here regularly for pet supplies. The customer service is excellent and I especially like that they cart your heavy purchases to your car. Great range of products and they will also do special orders if not in stock. Dogs are also welcome to come in and browse. Worth a visit.

We have often driven past the Castle and thought about staying one time. We did just that in the off season (winter). There were no shows during our stay, but it was nice to be able to wander around the grounds and the exhibits. Accommodation was pleasant. The rooms were decked out as if they were in a castle of yesteryear with four post beds and furniture from the era. At night we could see the lights of Ballarat from our bathroom window. Breakfast was included in the onsite cafe each morning, and was very good. Only down side was that the rooms were very drafty and we had to block the gap under the front door from the wind. Worth a look.

Stayed for one night on Valentine's Day as we were attending a relatives wedding. The staff were quick and efficient at the check-in counter. The rooms were delightful and we had a view of the outdoor pool area. The beds are VERY comfortable. Would certainly stay again.

This is regular stop for us when we are in Midland. They have great lunch time specials, and the food is of good quality at reasonable prices. The staff are mostly attentive and the meals arrive as ordered. It's also a good place to watch sport as they have large screens for viewing. Nice to sit either indoors, or in the front courtyard. A sure stop when you're next in Midland.

This place does a high turnover of subway rolls. The queue is always very long, but the production line of making the sandwich is very quick and efficient. So you can usually have your purchase in less than five minutes. The food is always fresh - not bad for a store attached to a garage.

Went for Sunday lunch and ordered the roast special. Very delicious and well prepared food. As it was a birthday lunch, we brought our own birthday cake. The staff put candles on it for us and then cut it up and served it at no extra charge. We sat outside in the garden area and it was a very pleasant experience. Well worth a walk around the hotel and grounds, especially the underground area.
