We got gift vouchers for this restaurant from work and we are so glad we got the opportunity to visit such a unique and interesting restaurant. It had great tasting food that was traditionally Turkish and very interesting. A competitive price and everyone working there was friendly and helpful with explaining some of the unfamiliar products on menu, which we're thankful she did because what she explained helped and also tasted great. Will defiantly return!

This review is for Tailwaggers Rainforest Retreat, Coolangatta QLD

verified email - 26 Aug 2013

Tailwaggers Rainforest Resort is the best dog friendly accommodation so close to everything yet so secluded and an adventure for the whole family. We took our two dogs with us and were greeted with the warmest of welcomes. It is only $95 a night which is such an affordable weekend away that your whole family can enjoy. We went on a massive rainforest walk which provided us with stunning views as well as exhausting and entertaining the doggies. The self contained cabins had a fully fenced yard for the pooches to run around in safely. There was a off-leash area on the 77 acre property, a dam and a games room. Be sure to check your doggies for ticks though! The Rainforest Retreat also has dog and cat boarding facilities. It really is a great affordable family retreat for the whole family! We also stopped at the beach on the way home!

Approximate cost: $95 per night

This review is for Chef's Cuisine Chinese Restaurant, Worongary QLD

verified email - 28 Mar 2013

Unfortunately not the best Chinese I've ever had. Very average, average staff who didn't seem overly thrilled to be working the day we went. The meals were OK but nothing exciting. The price was same as every other Chinese place. However have only visited once and would maybe give them another chance.

We have only been here once and the service was pretty average and unfortunately the food wasn't fantastic. The meals were good but there are better Thai places around. There was four of us who ordered take away meals and two of the meals were good and two weren't. In saying this was still only my first experience and would give them another chance.

This is a great little fish and chips place and is always busy and very popular with the locals. We have just moved to the area and the local fish and chip shop had big shoes to fill and this one did it! Prices are reasonable, maybe slightly above average but worth it. They have a huge variety of meal deals and extras.

This review is for Iceland Ice Skating Rinks, Bundall QLD

Great ice skating place, as far as I'm aware the only one on the coast. Has games to keep the kids entertained and always a great atmosphere to enjoy with the whole family. I used to go often as a kid for party's and have returned as an adult a few times and it is still just as enjoyable. Great if you have never skated before and all at a reasonable price.

This review is for Sushi Bay, Robina QLD

This is a great sushi place in a great location in the town centre. It has the best and biggest variety of sushi I have ever encountered. The prices are a little but more than others but the quality is great and as mentioned so much variety to keep everyone happy. The staff are always great but are often very busy but we have always waited for a both and recieved one in no time at all. Great place - would reccommend to all sushi lovers and also people who don't often go as there is so much to choose from.

What a terrible company! I am literraly scared for life about the way I was treated by this company. I purchased some vouchers for calendars to do for my family for Christmas (which i do every year) the transaction went fine and then i downloaded the software. The next step was to install the 'calendar' updates which i tried constantly to do. I eventually emailed the company to ask for help. THe first lady who emailed me back was helpful and told me to reinstall the software - which i did and then my internet credit ran out (not working out so cheap now) i then spent about a week exchanging emails of advise on how to help and then i decided it would be a better option just to ask for a refund as it had taken up way to much of my time already (probably a few hours a day AT LEAST over 7 days) She then advised me she will have to get a manager to organise the refund. Another lady then called me and told me to disable my anti virus and change my internet browser to see if that would work. So i did this even though i had asked for a refund i still wanted their service to work for me. I couldnt find where to disable my anti virus it seemed mine did not have this option but i changed my internet browser and even disabled my firewall and it was still not working so i emailed back and said can i just have a refund. She then called me and i told her i felt i had done enough to try and get their service to work. she 'tisked' and said i had not as I had not disbaled the anti virus - i told her there was no option on my anti virus to do this. Then she said she had a tech there who could get into my computer and disable it for me. WHAT?? No i would not like this option as i would not like my computer hacked. She was not happy and as i continued to plead my case that i had felt i had done everything possible and everything they had asked she continued to tell me i had not as i had not taken this final option (which im sure noone would). I became very frustrated then and was astonished at the way i was being treated. I was almost bought to tears as i was on edge as i had just found out my young cousin had died and was busy trying to do the photos for all my family which was painful and bringing up this tragidy. As i was becoming so upset i told her i had a family drama at the moment and just wanted a refund. her answer ' oh so we agree then that you want a refund because you have family drama not because of our service.' HOW DARE SOMEONE talk to ANYONE like that. She was rude and condescending and i advie NOONE ever use this service as i would never use anything that allows people with this sort of attitude to work for them. I didnt even get angry i got upset so I feel no way did i antoginise the situation and she took it all upon herself to say those things to me.

This review is for Spinners, Broadbeach QLD

Spinners is a great place to dine when you are at the Casino, or just on the Gold Coast. We have dined here twice and will defiantly return. We went here for the dinner and show and there was a set menu but both our meals were great and so was the service. More recently we went for a friends 60th wedding anniversary and they put us in a quieter section of the restuarant which we pretty much had to ourselves. The lady who served us was very friendly and just excellent. The food was gret, meals were a little small but still filling and tasted delicious. It was a great night and the meals are a lot more reasonably priced then the buffet at Food Fantasy or other Broadbeach restuarants. Defiantly reccomend!

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Harbour Seafood Market, Labrador QLD

I was pretty dissapointed in this place as it looks like such a great place from the outside. The service was pretty ordinary. The food was really disapointing, however it is all reasonably priced but not worth the dollars that you save. We always go to fishbone but thought we would just try this place but not again - it was very odinary. However it looks liek they do a lot of freash fish so maybe that is what they excell at.
