I've been going here since i was a kid but most recently when i tore my ACL and had a knee reconstruction. The guys here are great, sometimes it hurts, but always makes the injury feel better. Great advice all round.

Approximate cost: $50

I've seen numerous doctors here and all have been great, helpful and efficient. They have an afternoon session each weekday from 4pm-6pm where you don't need an appt, so if you need to see a doctor but can't get an appt you can still come in and see someone. Often have to wait a long time to see someone, but no different to any other doctor i have been to, and the doctors are worth the wait.

Approximate cost: $60

I went to see Kirsty for advice on weight loss and general health. I found her very helpful, and understanding of lifestyle as well, she didn't expect me to give up my lifestyle to be healthy, but instead incorporated the natropathy into how i wanted to live. She gave me a heap of recipes and suggestions and also dealth with other aspects of my health. A holistic approach and very successful for me.

I went here after a disaster of a haircut elsewhere and had a lovely girl Leah who fixed up my hair and made it look fabulous. I had brought in a picture of what i wanted and she was nice enough to explain how that would look with my hair, and what she could do differently to make it suit me instead of the model in the picture. A really great service. She also took great care in making sure i knew how to style it properly etc

This place does the best yum cha i have ever had. Very good value $3-4 per dish, and everything is hot fresh and tasty. SOmetimes a bit hard to understand the waitresses (sometimes not sure what dishes are) but that only adds to the authenticity for me!

Approximate cost: $3-5 per dish for yum cha

This bakery makes the best beesting cakes i have ever eaten. It is a chain, there is also one in beechworth, and one in healesville, both of which are equally good. They are all huge bakeries, always busy, but the service is quick and efficient. The pies are hot fresh and tasty, they also do freshly made sandwiches and rolls, but i really go for the cakes... such a huge variety and all of them sooooooo good!

Approximate cost: $5-10

Ripley Park is a Dog friendly Bed and Breakfast and its great for both dogs and their owners! There are two small older style cottages which are fully fenced within a big area, so the dogs can run around to their hearts content. Dogs are also allowed inside, however the houses were clean and tidy with no doggy odour or anything like that. Jerry and Sharon the owners are very friendly and will make sure you have everything you need. We paid a little extra to get dinner as well, and it was all freshly cooked and tasty and delivered straight to our door. There was also freshly baked afternoon tea each day, and lots of treats for the dogs. Lots of room to walk around too, there are some sheep etc and you can walk down to the river at the edge of the property (dogs on leads outside of the house area though) All in all a great place for a doggy holiday, couldn't recomend it more highly.

Have been going here for years and was quite happy, but i always wanted the same haircut. Went in recently for a different style, described what i wanted etc but still ended up with the same haircut that i had had previously. The haircut was fine, but not what i wanted or asked for. I also don't like it that they seem to cut more than one person's hair at a time, so i am often left just sitting there while they are dealing with another client. FOr me a haircut is a treat, and i'd like to feel like i'm important enough for them to dedicate the time that it would take to do my hair all in one lot, rahter than in a few minutes between other clients. I ended up going elsewhere a week later for the style that i actually wanted, and that is a shame because they can cut well, just needed to listen to me!

Approximate cost: $65 for a cut

Great for a quick meal before the movies next door, stacks is very very cheap (you can eat easily for less than $15. Meals are pancakes obviously, with simple toppings but very tasty, fresh and hot. Haven't had any problems with the service at all.

Approximate cost: $10-15

The chips here are to die for, absolutely the best chips I have ever had from a charcoal chicken place. They are the old style chunky chip, a little bit of crisp on the outside and melt in your mouth soft in the middle... mmmm so good!

Approximate cost: $5-10
