Beautiful food and great service, but very expensive. The restaurant is very minimalist and a bit cold-looking, but they have some nice banquettes on the walls that make it more comfortable.

Approximate cost: $40- $45

I needed a repair to my vacuum cleaner. Rang- they said they could do it on the spot. Took it in immediately, they told me to come back in half an hour. Came back, told me to go away & they would call. Picked it up the next day- $80 for a simple cord repair- then they rang me to say I had to come back again as they had forgotten to replace the belt. Staff told me the $80 was for labour, but when I checked with Godfreys head office, they said as this is a franchise store I was charged more- it would have be $49.95 if I'd gone to a company- owned store. I asked how I am supposed to know the difference and was told I should have asked! The head office said in essence that they can't help me as it's a franchisee, and they can do what they want. Which doesn't leave much of an option as the store refered me to the head office. I went back to the store, who then said $49.95 of the $80 was labour and the rest parts, even though I'd been told there were no parts used previously.
What really annoys me is that I bought this machine for $399 a few years back from another Godfreys store, and was told it was brand new. When I got it home, it had obviously been used and was damaged, but they refused to do anything as they said I had done it after I bought it.
Long story short- do not trust this company- they are shonky and untrustworthy. They have no idea of customer service and their business practices are not good.

Approximate cost: $80

We eat here all the time & the food is always great. They do gluten free pizzas and some pastas as well. Good service, and if you don't want to wait on a Friday/ Saturday night, just call & book.

Approximate cost: $10-25

The food at this restaurant is a cut above your average hotel experience. good service and great fresh food- surprisingly well-priced for lunch. I've had lunch here several times & it's always been very good.

Approximate cost: $20

The food was OK although have had much better Greek food elsewhere. Waitress was very nice but we didn't see much of her, so we went without drinks a lot of the time. Not great value for money & they charged a 10% weekend surcharge.

Approximate cost: $25-30

I booked the room direct with the hotel several months ago on a 'summer special' package and requested a non-smoking room. The room reeked of smoke, was very run down and badly in need of refurbishment. The buffet breakfast next morning was ordinary at best. Not a hotel I could recommmend, mainly because it is very over-priced for what it is.

Approximate cost: $300

Fantastic food- relaxed atmosphere but the service is great. The food is modern, leaing to slightly Italian. The chef's specialty is a grilled garfish entree which was really lovely. The wine list is one of the best I've ever seen. Not a cheap eat, but great for a special occasion.

Approximate cost: $40

Had a function here recently. The food was OK for such a big group- banquets are often pretty ordinary. It was just OK, though, and when a waitress offered us more roti bread and then threw a handful into the basket on the table, we were a bit taken aback!

I love this place- great facials and massages. I travel from Sunbury to see them as they are so good. The 30 minute facial is great value if you're in a rush or having trouble justifying spending more on yourself!

At last- some good shopping in Sunbury! This store has great specials, but you have to get in quick. They don't have a lot of the advertised item sometimes, or many sizes (especially shoes) but if you're after homewares or clothing, give it a go.
