These are a good quality butcher in the Engadine area but can be a little pricey. They have a good range of sausages but do not have any "special" items such as rabbit or duck.

This is the best coffee in Sydney. I get a Regular Latte with 1 sugar every morning on the way to work and sometimes I make a special trip during the day to get another one!

This is where by son and husband get their hair cut. They are very nice to both of them and manage to settle my son, who is a handful, very nicely. Vanessa and Erin are both lovely.

Approximate cost: $25

I have been having my foils and cut here for most of this year and I always get comments on how good my colour is. While I am very happy with the colour and the cut is also good, it is the service that I like. The girls are always lovely and you feel very pampered.

Approximate cost: $150

This is our closest restaurant. While a little casual for a romantic dinner, we have enjoyed breakfast and lunch with family on many occasions. Also convenient to take my elderly grandmother as no steps are involved.

Approximate cost: $14

My son is Gluten and Dairy Free and therefore we are always seeking products that are compliant. This is the best health food shop for baked goods, frozen pizzas, and cakes. The service is always fabulous and Jim, the owner, is the nicest man!

This is our local vet and they are both caring and reasonably priced. The staff are all very good with the different animals and have had no problems with the service.

Had to go to a fancy dress party as specific characters. Only problem was limited range for a child but there seemed to be a lot of options for adults.

Approximate cost: $35

This is our local Fish & Chip Shop and, apart from the chips, they do an excellent hamburger or chicken burger and there are times when that has been a lifesaver when unexpected visitors drop in and we have no lunch to give them.

Approximate cost: $8

Some interesting and different homeware items at a very good price. Friendly staff. No pressure. Have purchased several items from this store and happy with everything so far.
