I purchased two vouchers for hard cover photo books. It did take a very long time to upload photos which was draining and time consuming (this needs improvement). The outlays were really nice though and the finished product, WOW! I was so impressed and actually got all teary scrolling through. They really are just gorgeous. We have plans to make plenty more. We're even going to make up our own family recipe book. :) great service

This is one of the only night spots on the Sunshine Coast. Unfortunately, it is nothing flash at all. The bar staff are nice but the security can be hit and miss. Some are absolutely lovely and others just rude. To be fair, they deal with some pretty grotty patrons. I went here recently whilst on holidays (I now live in Melbourne) and within a few minutes, I walked in, up to the bar and *splat* a girl vomited onmy $140 suede shoes. There were people falling all over themselves, toilets were a mess, dance floor tiny and DJ of low quality. He kept "mixing" the music but in a very poorly executed manner. The drinks are extremely expensive and the cocktails, wine selection is average. The place really needs a clean up. It's just a tad tragic and trashy which is why they are attracting the clientele they are.

This review is for Matthew Lee Hair Salon, Ashgrove QLD

This was my hair stylist for six years. My stylist was Matthew himself with Emma occasionally doing my hair in the later. I've lived in Melbourne for a year now and can't find anywhere that compares. I had the most gorgeous blonde locks and have now finally decided that I can't maintain blonde as I can't find a hairdresser who knows what they're doing here. I'm devastated! This place is beyond awesome. I would usually do a half head and then come back for a full head of foils. Matt never had to use toner as my hair came out the perfect colour from the technique he used. He is also super quick and gets the foils right up close to your scalp meaning you still don't look to bad even after 6 weeks. Ill miss you guys.

To start, this clubs decor is breathtaking. From the waterfall and the Adam meets eve type theme to the fabulous upstairs globe bar and the bathroom fit for royalty. The food can be hit and miss but mostly hit. The cocktails are beautiful but very pricey. All is forgiven there, however as the entry is free.
My biggest qualm comes from my wedding reception. I was married here in 2010 and it was a shocking experience. It had been our favourite club/bar to visit and we decided to have our wedding reception there to expand our good memories. Firstly the seating was all wrong meaning arguments when I returned from having photos taken. I was then told that I wouldn't be able to take any photos in the restaurant being stopped halfway through a photo with them stepping in front of the camera. I then had issues with them telling off the flower girls/page boys and demanding they remain seated causing my three year old nephew to have a melt down. When I finally thought I'd be able to eat my cold meal from running around sorting every complaint the staff tried to throw at me, I was made aware my friend (cake maker) had been held up and refused entry with my cake for over an hour. When they finally let her in, the cake was damaged from her holding it so long. The best part of our reception was leaving. My spirit was shattered and I don't even like thinking about my wedding day. My hubby and I have decided we will be getting remarried to bandaid the stressful memory of the day. I haven't been back since as it makes me cringe. Such a shame as we would frequent this place. I just lost all respect for the place. My wedding day was ruined!

This cafe is great! We went here whilst on holiday. They have great vegetarian alternatives, plenty of organic fresh and wholesome ingredients and great juices and smoothies. I absolutely adored the wall art. It really gave the place a fresh vibe.

Absolutely Delightful!!! I am a raw food enthusiast and was stoked to hear about this place whilst on holidays. The owners were lovely, the cafe was adorable yet modern (love the bunnies) and the food *drool*
I had the falafel wrap and a smoothie. I also grabbed a raw cheesecake for the road. Everything was fabulous, ethical and super good for you. What's better than dessert that's healthy? Nothing! That's what :)

This review is for O'Malleys Irish Bar, Mooloolaba QLD

This place is just horrible!! I've attended quite a few times and from start to finish its just an awful experience. It is dark and dim inside and drinks are pricey. It's very small and squishy and they pack lots of people in. The local men are patriarchal at the very least and its not unusual to have a few hands grabbing at your bottom whilst bouncers shrug it off as though you asked for it, or its to be expected. The bar staff are at least quite friendly but security is nasty. Very rude and domineering to all the wrong people. It's also extremely hot inside and the bathrooms are not clean. To make it that much worse, they actually charge you to get in!!

I used their print services here on a weekday night. The young girl was very friendly and helpful. Prints are 8c each from self service, per page, even if you use double sides which was annoying. It's 10c per page to have them do it for you and there are no discounts until you go over 500.

This review is for Captain Gummy's Fish & Chips, Boronia VIC

I visited this place after hunting through womo reviews for my area. I was exhausted from Uni work and there was no way I was going to cook. Reviewers weren't wrong, this place has great fish! We had snapper, pineapple fritters and a potato cakes and chips. Pineapple fritters and fish were standouts. I didn't try the potato cake as my son stole it from underneath me. Chips were cooked well in clean oil but were the normal highly processed kind. Still nice but would have preferred a smaller serving of hand cut or beer battered chunky fries. Of course, that's strictly personal preference.

It's a real pity my hair turned out so badly as the ladies we're absolutely lovely. I had two different technicians apply foils to each half of my head and with their varied technique, I ended up with two completely differentvlooks on either side of my head. There was also a large piece of hair missed, making me look lme I had regrowth the very next day.

Approximate cost: $110
