Went to this place once on the referral of my hairdressing teacher who used to work there.
I just needed a roots touch up for my blonde at the time.
They were very quick to serve me. The bleach they used did not burn my head or tingle in any way, despite their checking on me every 5 minutes to make sure it wasn't which I found very comforting.
Lifted the colour from my hair easily despite my red undertones.
In the end they were decently priced too!
Would easily go back if it were more local to me, but unfortunately it's not since I've moved.
Would definitely recommend though!

I have been taking my pets there for 3 years now.
Very clean facility. Knowledgeable staff. Unfortunately one of the receptionists isn't as knowledgeable as she could be though.
Took my new kitten in for his 3 month old vaccinations the other day, the vet was very quick with it and very informative.
Bought some worming tablet for my cats as well, which were very reasonably priced!
I have also rung them up on their 24/7 number late at night once due to my kitten being sick. They gave me all the information I needed to make sure he was okay. Very handy having a 24/7 vet so close!
Overall, this is the only vet I will take my cats to.

Tax agents were extremely kind.
I only have simple tax to do.
The place is very quiet. They are right on time with your appointment.
They manage to get as much back as possible every time.
Very informative.
Would definitely go back.

Approximate cost: $60

Huge place. Been coming here since I was young.
Love their indoor pools. They could do with a more regular cleaning (other then the normal filters etc) as sometimes it's a bit dirty.
Spa is nice.
Pool especially for children there is pretty cute. Very child friendly place.
Waterslide is awesome, but I think that costs extra.
Not enough lifeguards in my opinion, as they're not always paying attention.
The cafe there is average. I like their hot chips and drinks. Bit expensive though.
Overall this place is great for children, absolutely huge, and makes a fun day out. :)

Love the view, it is absolutely amazing on a clear day or night.
Hate that you have to pay to get in.
Also it can be quite tough to park sometimes and you can end up quite a walk from the actual restaurant area.
Food was average, nothing special, and considering the price I was disappointed.
Also went to a wedding here recently, and the gardens are beautiful, and so is the reception area. Very spacious too.
Overall, it's more of a tourist attraction then a restaurant now. It's great to visit once, but after that theres no real reason to keep coming back.

This review is for Flippin Pancakes, Sassafras VIC

Went there for lunch with my friend. We both just got a stack of pancakes.
They were deliciously fluffy.
Atmosphere was nice, though a bit empty for lunchtime. We were almost the only ones in there.
Waitress was nice, made sure we had everything we needed and that we were enjoying the meal.
Overall it wasn't too expensive either, which was surprising as most of the restaurants in the hills tend to be a bit more costly.
Would definitely go back.

Used to be much better, but after going recently I find that the effort that used to go into this place is no longer there.
The food is ordinary, nothing special. Their entertainment is EXACTLY the same as it used to be, nothing has changed, which is a bit disappointing.
A bit expensive as well.
Probably wont be going back any time soon.

Absolutely love this place!
Every kind of lolly you can imagine in here. Huge range.
Also some American soft drinks and more there too!
Love their boiled lollies.
Amazing for such a tourist area.
Lady who owns it is amazingly nice, very helpful when it comes to choosing :)
Love their little "naughty" section too haha!
Definitely recommend!

LOVE this bakery!
Best pies and prices ever!
Love their hedgehog slice too!!
The people there are sweet, and it's a very clean shop.

Definitely recommended!
