This review is for Cafe Di JJ, St Ives NSW

verified email - 21 Jan 2010

The food and drink are very good and my favorites are the variety of snacks that I have with my coffee. The staff are very helpful and friendly and it one of the best cafes in St Ives. It has a great atmosphere as it is quiet as it isn't near any major shops.

This review is for Nelson Bay's Internet Cafe & Gaming, Nelson Bay NSW

This has got to be one of the worst Internet cafes I have ever been to. I bought a ticket for an hour, however I only used about 20 minutes on it and signed off (There was a sign saying that you could do this and use the rest later). When I came back a few days later to finish it off it said that the time code had been used. When I confronted the person working at the desk he simply said that there was nothing he could do about it and I was forced to buy another ticket. The prices are also very high compared to other places I've been to. They do have Xbox 360s and PS3s in the back room that you can hire our in the back room however I didn't do this, and this was overpriced as well.

This review is for Port Stephens Parasailing, Nelson Bay NSW

This really is a fantastic way to see Port Stephens. You are up to 130m above the water and it is completely quiet. It is a bit on the costly side ($84 for single/$139 for tandem) however I think every cent is worth it. You take off and land off the back of the boat, the landing for us was very messy as they were going to fast and we hit the deck pretty hard. When you're up there the views are amazing and overall it was very good.

This review is for Gianni's Bar - Pizzaeria & Ristorante, Shoal Bay NSW

verified email - 21 Jan 2010

We were looking for dinner on New Years Ever and all cafes and restaurants were full and booked out due to the public holiday, eventually we found Gianni's Bar-Pizzaeria and even though it looked full the manager helped us with seating, probably feeling sorry for us.

The seafood pastas and the pizzas were very good value. They are very big and tasty. The service was a little slack, and the staff were all from the family who owned the restaurant but overall it was great.

Approximate cost: $25-30

This review is for Boffa Hairdressing, St Ives NSW

These hairdressers are fantastic and they are very efficient. They are very friendly (and talkative) and they have a great range of hair products that you can get for a good price. I also like it how you normally don't need to book, they just fit you in.

This review is for St Ives Massage Centre, St Ives NSW

These people give great massages, however they can be a bit pricey. I got a gift voucher as a gift and the massage was great, but I can say I was pretty happy that I didn't have to pay for it. Even though they are expensive so are most massage places in Sydney so I would use them again.

This review is for Road To Goa, St Ives NSW

This is a fantastic Indian restaurant and serves lovely traditional Indian food. The service is friendly and quick and the food is fantastic. We went there with the kids for the first time and they loved it and we go back nearly every week.

This review is for Limestone Cafe & Grill, Gordon NSW

As said before, they do great specials for one day each week. The coffee is quite good and it is not to busy, meaning the service is good. I like the seating because it is easy to get comfortable and read the newspaper.

This review is for Pattison's Patisserie Fine Bakery & Cafe, St Ives NSW

They are quite pricey and you usually have to wait awhile to be served but the quality is very high. We usually shop here for special events, and their croissants are delicious.

This review is for Caroline's Skin Care, Hamilton Hill WA

This cream really is amazing. Before, I was using cortisone cream on my face and needed to stop. Once I stopped using it my face blistered very badly. My friend commented that their skin had also been like mine and recommended this cream. I ordered some and I made sure I applied it regularly. Within 2 months my skin was much better. I am very pleased and I would definitely use it again, if necessary.
