This place is OK for a cheap pub meal, and the menu is not too bad to choose from, but don't expect 5* service, the service is slow even when they are not busy, but at least the food is worthy of a good tick and the chef seems generous with the portions.

Approximate cost: $15-$18

This is a great place to get hard to find Stock Feeds & Supplements that other suppliers may not keep readily on hand. The staff are really up to date on the latest products and their benefits, and were able to help me identify a suitable mix of grain + supplement to help my horse increase his weight gain during winter, and I saw results within weeks thanks to their great advice.

This is a great aquatic centre with lots of facilities in one place. I can go there and do laps while my wife takes the kids to the smaller pool or the wave pool, then I get to play with the kids afterwards while my wife get's a spa, so there's something for the whole family.

My wife used this place for our wedding flowers, after she saw the flowers I used to bring home for her (on occasions ;). I have been caught out once forgetting her birthday but the florist was able to arrange delivery for me the same day since I was interstate. Normally they have a good range of flowers to choose from on the spot and they don't cost too much

Approximate cost: $20+

Wood fired pizzas are the way to go, and there's not many places around Narre that do them. Woodfire On Web have a really good alternative menu for their pizzas, and it's worth paying a little extra for the Gourmet pizzas, and they don't skimp on their toppings either like most of the others in the area. The waiting time for your pizza's is about average 15-25 min.

Approximate cost: $15

If you're in need of a GP after hours, then Casey SuperClinic is probably the best around. They are open 24/7, and I've never had to wait more than 30 minutes to see a GP, and all the doctors I have seen there have been very friendly. They also have a 24hr chemist available, and pathology lab and plenty of other practitioners in the same building during business hours. You can at least kill the waiting time watching Foxtel and help yourself to a free cup of coffee, and they bulk bill.

With things being so tough and having to pull the purse strings, what better value can you get, and just think how much you spend at the cinemas for instance on movie and food. At least when you go here you can see double feature (2 movie) for $12 per adult, or if you want to be even more of a scrooge, look for the "tight ass Tuesday" special where you can pay as little as $8.50 an adult for 2 movies, you get to see new release movies for less than at the video store. The food is good there and I don't reckon it is over priced, you get to sit in your car with your family and even pet dog if you want. I don't think you can get better value for entertainment these days.

Approximate cost: $12 per adult (2 movies)

This is a great place if you're looking for second hand saddlery and horse equipment/accessories, they have some great bargains. You can also take your old saddlery in to sell or trade in for other items. They also offer a rug repair service for good prices. They deal in new stuff too of course.

My horses only ever seem to hurt themselves on weekends and at night, why is that! Cranbourne Equine Hospital has vets that can come to you in an emergency any time day or night. You can also take your horse to them if you have a float and they are not that injured to travel, for them to check your horse over. They have the most caring vets and also great facilities at their hospital for diagnosis and recovery. They are also great when it comes to unfortunately having to put your horse down, they arranged everything when I had to make the hard decision of putting my horse down at 28 years of age.

I use this place for nearly all of my stock feed for my horses, the grain feed and hay is always very good quality and reasonable prices too. They also have some good deals on rugs at end of season and general horse accessories. They are a large store and deal with other animals like birds and reptiles and fish. The best thing about this place is that the staff there are really knowledgeable, they don't mind you asking all these questions, and if they don't have the answer, they will find out for you. Would highly recommend this store whether you have domestic pets or others.
