I know I commented above last month, but wanted to add a review. The staff are friendly and the place is very clean, however I am disappointed in the staff changes they have had recently. The new staff are not as knowledgeable as the staff that were there when my child started. Hopefully they improve as currently there is not a great deal of value for money going on.

Approximate cost: $80 per month

Nice big shop with an easy layout. The only downfall is that they never have enough staff on regardless of time of day.

This review is for The Sugargum Hotel, Sydenham VIC

We went in for lunch on a weekend and were the only ones there. The Food was a mixed experience - kids meals were good sized and filling. Adult meals - The scallops were inedible - shrivelled up, and when this was pointed out to the waiter the response was a shrug. Disappointing. Also had a bonus floater in my drink which was offputting. One of my children cut themselves in the play area on a sharp exposed edge, again waiter disinterested. We won't be going back any time soon.

Approximate cost: $20

Went here earlier this week - AMAZING food! Huge serves, couldn't get through the entree. Beautiful fresh seafood used in the meals. Great value for money. Only thing I would mention is that drinks are poured a little too strong. It's great if you're up for a night out, but when you have to drive it makes it a little hard to know how much you've actually had.

This review is for Ace's Place, Caroline Springs VIC

I'm not sure what's happened to Ace's place. The last few times we've ordered takeaway it's been pretty poor quality. Most recent was pizza and garlic bread - the toppings were sparse (maybe 2-3 pieces of chicken per slice on a large pizza), base was rubbery. Garlic bread was like a rock.
This used to be the best pizza and pasta in caroline springs, but I think we'll be avoiding it now.

I love this shop! All the old fashioned lollies, and the ones that you remember from when you were a kid are here. The owner is lovely and always friendly and chatty. The loyalty cards are a great idea, and it's very easy and quick to reach the reward!

Approximate cost: $30.00

This review is for McBain Milkbar And Takeaway, Latrobe TAS

The food here is ok, there's the odd thing here and there on the menu that's ok. The man who works here though is very rude - I'm pretty sure he's never cracked a smile in his life, and the way he speak to his staff in front of customers is terrible. That said I've also witnessed him being rude to customers.
I avoid this shop at all costs!

The staff at Toyworld Devonport are very friendly. They will go out of their way to assist you, see if you need anything or if they can find what it is you're after. Plenty of sales items most of the time. I'd prefer to shop here than Kmart or similar.

This review is for House of Anvers, Latrobe TAS

I love Anvers - I used to make friends and family post them to me on the mainland! Their chocolate is divine - especially love the choc orange slices. My kids enjoyed seeing how they're made, and I love being able to quickly pop into the shop they have on the premises. Overall fantastic!

This review is for The Honey Farm, Chudleigh TAS

This was a great little place to stop at and have a look around. The display was fascinating not just for kids but for adults too. Couldn't resist stocking up on some honey and purchasing a teddy bear. There are some gorgeous souvenirs to pick up here. Staff were very pleasant and smiling.

Approximate cost: $30.00
