Good for a stroll through and a few tourist snaps, for free. Nothing too exiting and somewhat surprising opening (or rather lack of) hours. Not much point doing any rides unless you are a kid or desperate. Best at night, with the lights adding to the feeling.

This is a convenient grocery shop with good opening hours, everything you need and some really good specials. Standard prices are a higher than in comparable shops, so buy in volume elsewhere.

Tripadvisor is good for some locations, where there are a few good people engaged,but often the advise can be provided by complete nobs with very little experience. Thus consider carefully before you take the advise too seriously. Of course there is also a lot of shady entries, both positive and negative.

Great place for a great pub meal. Go for the the porterhouse steak for $8. Good vibe, fresh and friendly. The potato wedges are pretty good too. Best deal in norther Sydney.

Approximate cost: $9

Highly recommended! Great guys, honest, straight forward with great prices. No BS and having your interest in mind, will advise and help contain costs, no push, no extra fees - just good old fashioned service.

Avoid these guys, always trying to pull a fast one, especially with ladies. I had used once before and was reasonably happy. When I was a way my wife put our car in for service and got cheated badly, despite clear instructions from me on what was needed to be done. They changed parts not required, other parts were damaged in the process by the mechanic and had to be changed too. Not needed, did not check for permission and very expensive. Also the work was badly done, internal panels not put back etc. The behavior of the owner towards my wife was extremely rude, we will never be back!

These guys are leeches, will do anything to overcharge you, especially if they sense you are in a hurry or have few alternatives. Avoid at all costs. I brought my car in for a simple check up and they wanted me to fix lots of things at a very high price. I went elsewhere and got it done for one fifth of the cost! The only positive thing was that the did provide a detailed quote.
