We get a fortnightly clean from mini clean, the staff are always friendly and do a thorough clean. It's a good idea to write down in advance what you would like to have done around the house.

Decided to try this restaurant for lunch. Staff were friendly enough but when we asked about portion size we were given the wrong information and over ordered.
I also found the outside area was not very accommodating for prams, even though it was a drizzly day we were sat out in the open and had to be moved half way thru lunch when it started pouring.
On the plus side- food was great.

I have visited this restaurant a few times, most recently for my husbands birthday. It is a much needed authentic Italian restaurant, it has a great layout with an outdoor bar where you can sit and have a drink and some starters, staff are friendly and menu is a bit more creative than most Italian restaurants in the area.

We were having trouble deciding on what to have and one of the owners came and had a chat and gave us some suggestions. Very happy with the meals, cocktails, wine list and of course the fantastic food! Will visit again.

Approximate cost: $18-$25

A great little coffee shop in south bank, very close to the markets and the beach. dot.espresso does a fantastic ice coffee -fantastic in the warm weather, have it there in their cute coffee shop or grab it to go and wander around south bank!

One of the best Italian places I have tried in Brisbane. The menu is simple and traditional. The staff are very friendly and service for lunch was quick.
I shared a calamari fritti which was cooked perfectly followed by a salami, olive and basil pizza which was delicious. I will definitely be returning to this little gem.

I had lunch at verve recently with a friend after not having visited for a while and I was impressed with the food and the friendly service at Verve cafe. I had some bread to start followed by a vegetarian eggplant risotto. The risotto was well cooked and very flavor some. Cost wise I found Verve very reasonable. This restaurant is also in the entertainment book!

Approximate cost: $18-$25

I visited Cup-a-cake recently for a great coffee whilst filling out some paperwork, after seeing the amazing display of cupcakes I decided I needed to come back and try them.
I grabbed half a dozen for a friends birthday brunch and every type we tried was amazing. I bought Vanilla vanilla, gluten free sticky date, mars caramel & chocolate vanilla sundae. The attention to detail with the decorating is also fantastic, and worth stopping in next time you have a coffee & cake craving!

Approximate cost: $3.50

Bought our cot and some other furniture and baby bits and pieces here. The staff bend over backwards to help you out and their prices are reasonable - they also have a price match offer.

I found this store to have some great maxi dresses while I was pregnant. The prices are fairly cheap so it doesnt matter as much if you arent going to get as much wear out of it.

Great Japanese restaurant in the Valley Chinatown Mall. The have a huge menu including lots of gluten free dishes, vegetarian dishes and mocktails! You order from a touch screen computer at your booth when you are ready and can check your balance as you go.
The restaurant has private rooms for groups and lots of booths for couples and groups of 4-6.
We tried the Edamame, two types of gyoza, yakitori, chicken kaaraga & prawn tempura - all were fantastic. Definitely will be back to try their huge variety of sushi.

Approximate cost: $10-$15
