This review is for Yellowfin Seafood Restaurant, Broadbeach QLD

23 Oct 2012

Good service and not as much foot traffic, being off the main street. We had the seafood platter, which had a good variety and not overrun with chips and other batter smothered items you sometimes get. Real tasty, and well presented.

Been here several times since it opened, had three of the dishes, all served fast and without fuss. Polite staff and fresh ingredients. Happy and will be back again. Prices very reasonable for a filling quick lunch.

Approximate cost: $8

This review is for Pancakes In Paradise, Coolangatta QLD

10 Aug 2012

We were first for the day at approx 1000, and were greeted by friendly staff who uplifted the whole experience. The girl at the register was more-than-helpful. Breakfast good, not great. Probably my fault - should have the read the menu closer, but its one of the few big brekkys I've had with no toast served. Left happy - but a little hungry. Good coffee

Approximate cost: $15

This review is for Sanctuary Cafe, Currumbin Sanctuary, Currumbin QLD

10 Aug 2012

We encountered one staff member at the cafe who was very polite, but then halfway through ordering she was 'sent elsewhere' by a younger staff member that took over our order and assumed we were finished ordering. When I continued ordering (coffee) and handed the entertainment voucher over (25% discount) eyes were rolled and sighs were heard. Its a shame, as the other staff seemed pleasant. Returned later to get a bottle of water (sanctuary fountains broken) and found the same lass. She simply said the price, nothing else. Food was good,but BYO next time

Approximate cost: $10

Still a nice place to visit with the kids, but facilities seem to have dilapidated over the past few years. Enjoyed the bird show and kids loved the train (again). Staff were very friendly and helpful, not the case in the cafe though...

Approximate cost: $100

Very friendly service from start to finish. Waxing is comparable to anywhere else. Nice atmosphere and easy to reach location. Appointment given within an hour of booking. Thanks

This review is for RSPCA Op Shop, Tamborine Mountain QLD

28 Jul 2012

This shop has moved into a house since my last visit, giving them more room for stock. The shop itself is very neat, kept well by the hardworking staff. Very reasonable on prices. Climb the stairs if you want to see the books and records. Good display of toys and childrens items also. Again, another mention for the staff...lovely.

This review is for Vinnies Op Shop, Beaudesert QLD

28 Jul 2012

The ladies here are lovely, always friendly, so its a pleasure to make a purchase here. The shop has expanded (a little) recently, enabling them to push books, kitchenware and music into another room, and giving them much needed space. I haven't visited this shop without a purchase yet, so have been pretty lucky. Good range of books, and music. Priced well.

This review is for Lifeline Gold Coast, Molendinar QLD

This is the big one. This particular Op shop is a warehouse of goods with its own bookshop contained within. There is something here for everyone, and the store has various specials advertised most times. Allow at least a half hour if you're a keen op-shopper. Toilets within the store also. Prices are reasonable. This is the place for op-shop furniture.

This review is for Salvos Stores, Nerang QLD

28 Jul 2012

I'm a pretty avid op-shopper, and this is one of the better ones. Large floor space, and well set out, this op shop has a good variety of items, and a fair range of quality items also. Records and books are reasonable priced. The store stocks some new items (common to Salvos op-shops now) such as toiletries and various gricery items. Plenty of parking opposite the store.
