One of the better choices of takeaway meals in the food court of Raymond terrace. It is a large kebab and unfortunately they do not do the Kebaby kebabs any more for the children. Salads are fresh and is kept clean. Staff are well presented and is a good value meal!

I didn't like their pies at all and were hugely over priced. I also purchased a large cake and paid an excessive price for that also. I found that staff were un emotional and had trouble knowing prices. Glass display cases were broken and waited to be served while staff chatted amongst themselves.

I was referred to them from a mechanic and was disappointed. I had booked in but had to wait several hrs with a young child not once offering us a drink or a lift anywhere. They ended up not being able to fix the problem but was charged for their time. I took my car elsewhere and was repaired immediately with no charge! Very unhappy!

The best cake decorating supplier around. They stock a large amount of latest products and vast range of quality goods. They offer decorating classes along with hiring of stands and tins. I travel 1 hr to visit this store, knowing i will get help and advice from very talented staff. I do tend to spend as it is hard to walk out without something wonderful. U can also order on line but i like the face to face, as i usually have 100 questions lol

Stocks all the latest brands but found the male owner of the shop to be extremely rude. I will not allow my children to purchase anything from there. Shop is cluttered with boxes of stock which stops you from getting around to see what is on sale. Very expensive but i guess surf shops are due to the brand names.

A wonderful place to stay with family. The children enjoyed the indoor soft play centre (1-5yrs), while the older ones enjoyed the games room. We used the free tennis as a family and loved the trampolines and the pool with a rock mountain slide at one end. The camp kitchen and BBQ areas are all kept clean with the amenities spotless. It is situated next door to the bowling club which had amazing meals as a treat also. Our cabin had foxtel and was very spacious. We had just a 5 minute walk to the beach and jetty and this provided a boat ramp for boat lovers. Have booked in again and cant wait!

A beautiful place to stay right on shoal bay beach. The resort has a pool and kids wading area. I was able to be treated in the Aqua Spa and mineral spa pool. Trained beauticians gave me an amazing massage and facial treatment offering green tea and relaxation music while i had a short wait. There were four restaurants on offer with something different on offer at each. We were able to use the free underground secure car parking and also used the free shuttle bus to visit a local club. Everything is a little above average for pricing but u are paying for what u get. this is no cheap motel room. The room were immaculate and stunning, with beautiful views. In my books this is a 5 star place to stay and is a beautiful way to be pampered. A place i will always remember!

This review is for Mod Thai Restaurant, Nelson Bay NSW

Delicious authentic thai food. Polite, friendly staff and clean restaurant. Only small inside but worth sitting down to enjoy. Takeaway available and a lunch time special of $10 available. Close to shops but a good 15 mins away from the water front, so not somewhere u would eat looking for a view.

Approximate cost: $15

Wow! A huge congratulations to the volunteers and organising committee on keeping a wonderful place so appealing and interesting to the public. We went on a 'Childrens' open day. For a small fee each child was given a shoulder bag with stickers and info inside. They all got to do craft activities, see wildlife displays, learn about recycling, meet the police and look at their cars, see bee keeping, do aboriginal painting, plants trees and shrubs to take home and make grassy heads. Was above and beyond fantastic. A cafe with delicious scones and tea and a souvenir shop with educational and craft gifts available. Nice clean toilets and the best friendly staff ever. We are making this an annual excursion and highly recommend you go along to.

Delicious coffee, cakes and lunches but a little overpriced. Was not air conditioned and spent the break trying to rid our table of flies as it is an open plan area. Plenty of products for sale but was not open at the time to look at the actual farm itself. A small play area is available for the children while you enjoy your coffee. Felt there was room for improvement but still a nice break if u talk bug repellant!
