This is a new addition in Buderim. It's a rather small restaurant but feels very open. The food here was lovely and reasonably priced. Everything my friends and I ate was too standard.

I saw Matty here. The salon was beautiful. It had a brilliant kids room, a beauty room up the front, separate room to wash hair and a beautifully open space with wall to wall mirrors for cutting/colouring. I've followed Matt to various salons and was wrapped to hear he was on the Coast Whilst I holidayed. My folis were so perfect, no toner was needed and my cut was beautiful as always. The only issue I had was when I was busily chatting away and another employee emerged to tell me to be quiet. It dampened my experience but Matt was Amazing.

Peter Coulson is the most amazing photographer you'll ever meet. Not only is he a charming family man but his work is impeccable. His shots come out of the camera as if they've wandered from the pages of a polished magazine. He's also been awarded photographer of the year.

David is the photographer here and specialises in nude and semi nude photography, however does many other styles. He has a large studio that he also rents to other photographers.

This is my favourite of the discount stores. Basically because the owners are so lovely. They have a great range and are happy to order things in if they can. Obviously quality standards are as to be expected for a discount variety dyire. They've given my son treats on a few occasions too.

Casa living has a range of gift products as well as some products you find in discount stores. It has a party section. A pretty great selection of stock and friendly service

Was really disappointed here. We came with 6 Adults and two children. It's a Wednesday, so kids meals were free. I was disappointed that all the children's meals were junk food apart from the roast. I'd actually asked if they had anything vegetarian available for kids but no, they did not. The child's roast was bought out cold (which was subsequently reheated in the microwave). My husband had the lobster chicken which was ok in taste but very small. I had the barramundi, beetroot risotto which was edible but very bland. My mother had the gnocchi which she said was quite nice. Her husband had the duck which was small and gristly and we continued to complain "I'm starving, I'm starving, I'm starving" and continued to eat the other child's fish and chips. We had a few incidents. The batman was nice but the other staff let him down when we ordered our drinks. The syrup had run out and our drinks were subsequently made with soda water. He was waiting on them to refill it, unable to do it himself (leg injury). He apologised and we then got a refund.

They do have a small playground with a free game machine. The kids enjoyed that. They also bought out a bonus show bag for my tot as my nephew had bought one.

Approximate cost: $25-30

I've attended Underwater world numerous times. I went there as a child and have now continued to take my son. It is very expensive for what it is. The highlight is on wildlife protection and avoiding pollution and negative effects on their habitats. If you take the time to walk through and read all the little signs out and explain what each creature is and does, you and your children will learn a lot. It's best to plan out the day as show times are infrequent and easy to miss. The seal show hasn't changed much for years and is a little tired and a bit boring. The seals are very cute though and I do like the heavy focus and involvement of them joining in on education of pollution. The star fish touch tank is brilliant and of course the glass tunnel tank is always awesome. They also offer sleep overs with schools or large groups here too. A wonderful experience for kids.

Approximate cost: $35

The park itself is really quite beautiful. It's well run and they have a high respect and love for the animals. They also intend to educate on endangered species as well as the dangers of some animals and what to do if you find yourself in strife. They have many photo opportunities and chances to cuddle some cuddlies and scalies including koalas, snakes, and baby crocs. You can also feed and pay the elephants. A great place to take the kids but an absolute killer on the wallet. I would go out on a limb by saying this is the most expensive park in Australia. It's certainly the dearest I've attended.

Approximate cost: $50

Best Ice-cream around. They've won many awards, servings are decent, prices are average and taste is magnificent. I adore the organic cinnamon doughnut gelato but I can't fault any flavour I've had.

Approximate cost: $7
