For me this is a very special occasion restaurant. I can't afford to eat there so have only been with my parents - they took me there after my graduation and for a big birthday. The food is amazing - especially the peking duck which is as close to the duck I had in china that I've ever had in Melbourne. Fantastic service!

A lovely spot in Williamstown overlooking the bay. Food is good with a lot of seafood on the menu. It's one of the more expensive restaurants in the area and I think it is overpriced for the food, and feel that you pay for the location and given that most tables have no view - I would prefer to eat elsewhere.

This review is for Port Fairy Hostel, Port Fairy VIC

Firstly I would like to say that the staff at the hostel were fabulous - very welcoming and helpful. The hostel is in an old home andnot much has been done to it in a long time. I was staying in a single room which was pretty much in the roof/attic. It was tiny and stuffy even with the window wide open. I hate to imagine how hot this little room gets in summer.
The kitchen uis quite small but had everything you need.
The bathrooms were in an odd location and in need of renovations.
I was here for one night and that was enough.

Lovely hostel in old manor. I stayed in a double room which was huge. Lovely linen and towels provided. Helpful staff. A fabulous old style library with a welcoming fire. Huge kitchen with everything you need and more.
Bathrooms are unisex and as a woman found it a little odd to have urinals in open next to the sinks.
My room was opposite the kitchen and as I went to bed quite early the noise from the kitchen was a little annoying.
Overall would definately return and recommend to others!

This review is for Hostel 109, Adelaide SA

I stayed at Hostel 109 for a week when I was in adelade to attend a course. Firstly Malcolm made my stay SO much easier. He helped me in many ways including with car parking which was way above and beyond what I expected.
I stayed in a single room which had a desk, a wardrobe and comfortable bed. The rooms are a little dark. They have no natural light and open onto areas that have skylights and plants.
The kitchen is well stocked and a little small and gets very busy in the evening. WIth each room you get a key to a locker for your food and there are 2 huge fridges and one freezer.
There are several unisex showers and toilets and these are very clean - ou do need to walk through kitchen and lounge to get to these.
Overall I can't fault this place and will stay there next time I'm in town.

Glad we made a booking the night we went as it was packed. Lovely food - the Alambres des Res were amazing. The tacos great but the Enchilladas were a little disappointing.
Great night out!

This review is for Pennyroyal Farm, Pennyroyal VIC

My two little dogs and I had a wonderful relaxing 5 nights in Honeysuckle cottage. Honeysuckle has one double room downstairs and a lotf (with a ladder) with 2 single beds. The bed was devine with lovely linen. The spa bath was awesome. The highlight though is the deck and the surrounds....and on a cold night the fire. The kitchen was well stocked for self catering...the only thing missing was a coffee plunger.

The fantastic thing about Pennyroyal for me was how dog friendly it was. I have an escape artist of a terrier who was safely contained by the fences. The dogs have a lovely amount of land to run around with a mix of bush and lawn. The dogs had their own beds, bowls, dog towels and treats for when they arrived. There are also chains for if you need to go out without the dogs for extra security.

The only people I wouldn't recommend this cottage to is those with very young kids because the ladder is a potential safety issue...and some older people would struggle with it too.

I stopped here on my drive from Melbourne to Sydney. I didn't book and got the last available room at about 4:30pm on a Saturday. When I checked in staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Can't fault this place. Free WI-Fi is great.

Delicious pizzas with some unusual toppings. I love the dessert pizza - so wrong but Oh so right!

I tend to look and not buy too much here. The range of pastas and Anti pasta things is fantastic but their not things I use a lot at home. If you like cooking italian food - you'll be in heaven here - the deli at the back is great.
