This department store type shop is supposed to be the bargain basement of quality shopping in sydney (homewares). Its pretty impressive - they have comprehensive ranges of all the lead homewares brands form the majors at much lower prices. I went here on a trip fm Lelbourne and bought tonnes of 'nanna' gifts to bring back. Great for buying gifts or for getting reasonably priced kitchenware etc. I'll be going back next time I'm in town. Service was a bit lacking - floor staff are hard to find and a bit aloof. Have a coffee shop which has decent but pretty over priced food. Compared to Victoria's Basement its a much more pleasant shopping experience though (less like a bargain bin).

Cutest little cafe in the middle of a really good quality nursery - We love stopping in here for a coffee (and cherry tart) on a Sunday afternoon. Its a really lovely garden environment and a relaxing unpretentious spot in summer or winter. The nursery itself is excellent - the plants are top quality and the accessories are beautiful and unique. Go there!

I've read the other ratings on this store with interest. Is it the same store that I've visited 4 times in the last 6 months!! I LOVE This store - it is fabulous to go to a baby store that is stylish, really well priced (downright cheap for many toys etc) and not innundated with all the same commercialised brandnames. They have things that you just can't get anywhere else - fabulous for gifts - and my 17 month old plays with everything I've bought there. I've always had really good advice from the staff (most of whom actually seem to have kids too and are very happy to give advice). Sad old world when good old fashioned professional service is seen as corporatised. I'm happy to spend my money there and get beautiful things for my beautiful girl rather than rambling through the rubbish at Bunting and other holes in the wall.
