Good value and good service. The dentist I saw was great with my 5 year old child, making the first dentist visit a good one.

Received great quality service and appreciated Adam's level of knowledge. The online booking system is also great.

I had the trio of dips and a pizza. I liked one of the dips (basil pesto) and the bread was nice although there wasn't much. The tzatziki tasted slightly off or somehow else strange and the third dip wasn't great either. Olives on the plate came out swimming in mucky water (brine?). The vegetarian selection was incredibly poor with one pasta (pesto), one risotto (vegetarian, no description) and a couple of pizzas. The standard pizzas were overpriced ($18) for a small vegetarian with basic ingredients. I ordered one if the gourmet pizzas without the meat it was meant to come with, as there was no gourmet vege option. My husband enjoyed the main meal having chicken in prosciutto with veggies. The decor was basic and the food just okay, especially for the price.

Approximate cost: $26

I have never had korean food before going to this restaurant and I was quite impressed. The decor and ambiance is really nice, surprisingly nice. I very muchly enjoyed the entree dishes - potato pancakes especially! I shared two vegetarian dishes - although I can't remember the names. One was delicious, the other not great (it was a bowl of rice with tofu and veggies on top, not much flavour. The rice was meant to be crunchy on the bottom but wasnt't). All of the meat and seafood eaters enjoyed their dishes. It was a great spot for the end of year Christmas party and completely reasonably priced.

This review is for Turkish Kitchen Cafe & Restaurant, Bendigo VIC

The take-away part of this business is amazing. The best turkish kebabs anywhere in the world... or at least any that I have tried, mostly in Australia! They are wrapped in light and fluffy turkish bread instead of pita or other bread. The flavours are also very good. I always get the falafel kebab with yoghurt, my husband gets one of the meat or chicken kebabs and they have always been brilliant.

The one time we thought about getting food from the restaurant part of this business, we ended up deciding on getting take away. The restaurant is more expensive and doesn't have kebabs (or didn't at that time, but it might have changed).

Approximate cost: $9 - 10

I was a little skeptical about going here, but my husband was very keen to go on the rides.

The kids section is fantastic. My toddler loved it and went on all of the rides possible for her height. I enjoyed the kids roller coaster (for me...!) and went on it a number of times by myself. We also went on the wild west ride which was a bit lame (two quick drops where you get a little wet). Our toddler did not enjoy this so much.

The 4D mini-movie was Rio. The 3D part was good, although the 4D part (chair moving, air and liquid blowing) has a long way to go before it will be any good.

There were a reasonable number of food choices here unlike wet n wild.

My husband loved the roller coaster rides. Being by yourself is a good way to jump the queue - as they regularly look for singles to fill the seats.

We had a 3 day pass from RACV (~$90), so was very good value.

This review is for T's Tennis Resort, Port Macquarie NSW

We went to the resort to play mini golf and perhaps use the pool (they had a $10 all day usage deal for both). The mini golf was the most basic I have ever seen, with only 8 holes, although you could do those 8 holes as many times as you would like. We got bored after the second time. It cost only $5 pp, which is by far the cheapest I have ever seen. Apparently, new mini golf is 'coming soon'!

On the up-side, the mini golf was within gardens which were lovely and cool on the hot day we were in town.

The pool was a new and modern lap pool, although with minimal shade. We didn't bother to use it since our accommodation had a pool and it was not very different.

The place seemed to be undergoing some major renovations, and had an abandoned air about it. The general vibe was a little odd... but possibly it will improve greatly with the current renovations. There is also quite a lot of accommodation there.

We ordered a yummy gourmet pizza - "vegetarian" for take-away. The eat in section is pretty basic, so I doubt many people would eat there in the evenings. The customer service was very good - I suspect we were served by the owner/ manager, simply by the way he took care of us. If I lived here, I would definitely go back for pizza.

Approximate cost: $6 - 11

The atmosphere in this cafe was lovely. There is a couch and tub of kids toys at the back, which my toddler played with for at least 20 minutes, without getting at all bored.
I ordered the quinoa burger and enjoyed it muchly. The sweet potato medallions that came with it were only okay (but maybe I was expecting sweet potato chips??). This place must go through a lot of sweet potato! It was all nice to be able to order some decent food for the toddler.

This place is organic / clean / partially paleo and have different options for milk in coffee etc. We were there on a hot day and it would have been great to sit out the front, but the one table was busy.

Approximate cost: $17

This review is for Best Western Macquarie Barracks Motor Inn, Port Macquarie NSW

My husband booked this over the phone (as we had to check something) after looking at the website. The receptionist strangely charged us more than what was on their website, although my husband could not remember the price at the time.

The pool was nice, although cool. The decor in the room was nice and fairly modern. The bathroom and entry floors were greasy, making the floor slippery when wet. When I mentioned this to the receptionist, he said the cleaners would look at it, but they did not improve. I suspect the cleaning products are a bit greasy but I'm not sure.

Overall a nice place to stay, a little out of town.

Approximate cost: $130 pn
