This review is for Penrith Ice Palace Skating Centre, Penrith NSW

verified email - 08 Jul 2009

There was quite a queue to get in, however there was plenty of room on the ice and they have fun music and lighting. The general atmosphere is fun and a little competitive. They have OK rental skates for hire and a nice little cafe with hot food. Plenty of seating for spectators. Bring a Jumper!

Approximate cost: $18

This review is for Penrith Swimming Centre, Penrith NSW

verified email - 08 Jul 2009

The centre has several pools for children but only one for adults. As with most pools it is difficult to find a lane to swim in during holidays but is pretty peaceful in the mornings. The facilities are pretty old but there is plenty of grass to make a nice day of it. There is a basketball court and a conference room.

Approximate cost: $4.50

This review is for La Vera Pizza & Pasta Restaurant, Glebe NSW

The Pizzas were unique. They had big chunks of feta and olives, each bite was a separate flavour! My favorite Pasta dish was the Gnocchi Pesto Delight, full of fresh flavour and the pasta cooked to perfection. All fresh, made in front of you! Eat in, Take-away or Delivery, this is great meal option for the family or a date.

Very Italian atmosphere in the heart of Glebe. Beautiful quality pizzas on large bases packed full of flavour. Creative recipes (try the Four Seasons) and pastas (try the Papali). One of my favorite Pizza restaurants in all of Sydney. They also have some special meal deals.

Had a Gourmet Pizza and Pasta delivered. The Pizza was rather small but tasted great, as did the salad. I was very impressed by the quality, flavour and overall appearance of the meals. They were delivered quickly. One of the best gourmet pizza places in Penrith and a relatively healthy meal option.

This review is for Forest Lodge Hotel, Forest Lodge NSW

verified email - 08 Jul 2009

I used to frequent the forest lodge when it had a great ambiance and friendly crowd. recently it has been transformed into a blandly modern pub with generally surly staff serving a mixture of gamblers and pretentious university staff and students. Disappointing, but still an OK place for a relatively cheap and tasty meal/beer.

This review is for Chat Thai, Haymarket NSW

They cooked fresh donut fingers with an amazing dipping sauce complimentary which smelled amazing. The See Ew was soft and fresh and the Chicken Gai Yang was cooked to perfection with plenty of chicken. The prices were amazing and the variety unlimited. They were open late and had a great ambiance. Very friendly and smiley staff.

This review is for Rydges Capitol Square Hotel, Haymarket NSW

Quaint Twin bedroom with ducted air-conditioning and heating. Well maintained. Private and Quiet, set aside from the noise and bustle of George Street but so close to restaurants and entertainment. Really inexpensive rooms available during the week, try and find the best deal. No Cable.

This review is for Different Drummer Cocktail & Tapas Bar, Glebe NSW

The tapas tastes great, although is a little overpriced. Try the Crumbed Camembert with Cranberry sauce and Mixed Dips. The cocktail happy hour is great with great quality and variety of cocktails at a great price! Absolutely amazing atmosphere. A favorite way to start the night!

This review is for Penrith Veterinary Hospital, Penrith NSW

On several occasions I have taken my cats to the vets and they are amazing. There is always a short wait, even with an appointment. But the Vets are very well trained, are comforting and the prices are guaranteed to please.
