This review is for The Blue Strawberry, Dynnyrne TAS

verified email - 17 Jan 2014

During our stay in Sandy Bay we discovered this store which provides fish n chips, icecream milkshakes, lollies softdrinks and more. It's open 7 days a week and usually shuts around 5.30pm. We experience the fish (Flake) at $4.50 each and they were a big size. Minimum chips wrapped is $6. Potato cakes and dimsims were 90 cents. We ate on the beautiful shores of long beach and the food amongst the family soon disappeared. Really loved the service we got and would totally recommend if in the area. The prices are high but compared to other places in Tassie, it was one of the best.

This review is for Fasta Pasta, Mooloolaba QLD

Whilst in sunshine coast we ventured to Fasta Pasta initially for dinner but loved it so much we returned for lunch as well. The evening prices are very good for mains ranging from $12 to $20+ and the kids meal deal is $9.90. The helpings were very generous and we were definitely full by the end of it. Joe and his crew made us feel really welcomed and was a pleasure to attend his restaurant. We returned for lunch and for the adults we enjoyed the $8.90 lunch deal which made it a very affordable meal for the family and the quality was excellent. Definitely great place and it is close to attraction underwater world. Thanks Joe for a great experience and well worth a visit

This review is for Ginger Factory, Yandina QLD

Was in the sunshine coast and on the way back from Noosa we stopped off at this place. It's free to enter but we took the option of the train trip and overboard for a family of 5 and it cost us $64. The younger kids loved the experience on the train and checking out the factory and hearing the history, as well as the feeding of the chickens. On the overboard ride we were able to see puppetery in many countries and it was a where's the ginger man. Also ate at their cafe and was good but a little pricey. All in all was a pleasant place to attend whilst on the sunshine coast.

Got a coupon in an email and was able to have a very spacious 3 bedroom apartment for $679 for 4 nights in this splendid place. We ended up with a room on the 5th floor of the Windsor wing and had a great view of the beach. Included was 2 secure parks for this room which can hold up to 6 people(1 queen and 4 singles). Spacious kitchen, lounge, laundry, 2 washrooms with main having a spa. Has a Lap pool with spa and child pool as well as a seperate lagoon. A gym to boot as well. Absolutely a gem of a place and totally recommend as close to Maroochydore and Mooloolaabah.

This review is for Salt'N'Battered On Alex, Alexandra Headland QLD

Whilst in Alexandra Headland we had this little gem of a Fish'n'Chip shop where we first were dragged in by the tempting Gelato(Whipped Pleasure) which we found out from the owner was made by them. The costs ranged from $3 for Kids scoop and we loved it so much we purchased a 500ml tub for $13.50 and got 3 flavours. It was a great way to finish the night after eating the 3 Cod($6.90 each), 8 calamari for $4.50 and a large chips for $7.50. They also can beer batter the chips for an extra cost. One serve of fish and chips cost $10.
Was a pleasant place to eat and highly recommend if in the Sunshine coast area.

This review is for Monarto Zoo, Monarto SA

verified email - 24 Jun 2013

This year we took out a family pass to do the adelaide and monarto zoo for $127.50(Family 2 zoos pass). The drive to monarto is a very pleasant experience through the hills. The children were very excited and loved seeing the animals in space. The giraffes even passed in front of our moving bus and was a great experience seeing them in front of you. The Rhinos are awesome, as well as the cheetahs. The bus driver(s) gave us a rundown history and really made us appreciate the worth of this place. Definitely a great day for the family, but preferably not a wet or stinking hot day. Lucky we had a sunny winters day which made the experience brilliant

This review is for La Tombola Italian Restaurant, Parkside SA

verified email - 17 Jun 2013

Recently went here for a special occasion with my other half, and the place was extremely good re customer service. The main meals range around under $30 to under $40. I had the veal fillet and the size was very generous and the meat was cooked to perfection. It cost $35, and well worth the cost for the this meal. My other half had a pasta marinara and was well received as well. It cost about $28. We also had an antipasto for 1 between us and that was $17. A bit expensive for what you got but tasty nonetheless. We capped it off with deserts which were about $15 each and coffees. All in all great place, but a bit pricey. Still would recommend for that special occasion though.

Approximate cost: $35

This review is for Topham Mall Carpark, Adelaide SA

verified email - 04 Apr 2013

I regular use Topham Mall Carpark as it is very convenient and the carpark offers good parking spaces for reserved or casual parking. Earlybird price before 9.30am and exit before 7PM is $15 per day. Saturday and Sunday are $6 flat rate. The carpark has very good operating hours and is closed only on Good Friday and XMAS day. Good old fashion carpark which is still popular today.

This review is for Rheinland Bakery, Hindmarsh SA

Rheinland Bakery is always abuzz and the produce is so fresh. My love of this place is the Happy hour take away coffee from 8am to 10am for only $2!!! And to top it they sell their large chocolate donuts for $2. Great to grab a quick snack and drink early in the morning on the way to work. Highly recommend the visit and the cakes and bakery items look so YUM!
