Prelli's is all about tennis - and squash - but who cares about squash! Offers a tight selection of high quality brands. Knowledgable and helpful staff. Prices are competitive - but not the cheapest

Ikea delivers on the promise. Lots of reasonable quality homewares at amazing prices. You can fit your house out. The choice and innovation is amazing. Prices are more like what you expect from China than Sweden. But crikey I hate the shopping experience - and carrying it all home and putting it together...somebody help me...

Amici is a great Melbourne Cafe. A blend of good food, coffee and a great bakery. Great breads, pastries and savouries. Bigger than it looks. It can get busy and slows the service. Takeaway coffee takes too long sometimes...

Teamfit is a unique fitness centre. It offers group personal training. You get the benefits of personal training sessions - tailored and intense, while working as a group. Cost is much cheaper than personal sessions

Great coffee, food and service. Cool ambience. Open early and late. Orange is one of my favourite Melbourne cafe's at the village end of Chapel St.

Approximate cost: $24
