Seeing a physio for a knee injury now for 3 mths.
Reception is friendly and fast.
[redacted clinical content]
Twice weekly has helped me get my knee back to being how it was. Great place.
Parking id either 2 spaces in front of the building or go to the free car parking station a few minutes away. Consults arent cheap but worth the cost.
Place is clean neat and tidy,play pit for kids too.

Locals I used to clean our carpet after moving recently
Nice man,booked a week before for 12 noon,then office rang me to say he would be late about 12:30. 12:30 comes no sign of him,12:45 after ringing office ,he shows up. No apology.
Did 4 rooms and oest control in 45 min. Looked good. So asked to do a mat we had.cost $10.
I chose them because the website said rooms start at $10 and discount for doing carpet and pest.
Cost was $150 but was quoted over ph $65 and $70. Not sure what $10 a room was or the discount . was fast, cleaning worked.
Did a good job,no mess no smell

Used these guys recently because they were close and a fairer price than most.
Showed up on time. 2 Strong guys to move our heavy furniture,a lot of boxes didnt fit in the truck tho,everything packed without hassle. Unpacked at new place with speed. The guys are friendly and charge $119 an hour,one guys wife handles the ph bookings and shes great,friendly and funny. One thing I didnt like tho,is they dont tell you gst is added . I got the bill at the end,cash only, and noticed another $30 odd for gst.
Other than that,things are packed and protected. Good,job,if we use them again we get 10% discount.

Close to home and I was sent here for workers comp. the dr I saw was lovely,like a family member.so laid back with explaining things to me and what he was sending me to tests for.
All paperwork was filled in,everthing done on computer with sending me to physio and surgeon,all organised in a few days. Place is looking new,clean,lots of drs females and males,different clinics inside,qml outside,plenty of parking and xray next door. Staff arent overly friendly but are nice enough.
have found me a gp I am comfortable with

Such an expensive fish and chip shop
Came saturday for the classic cars and got a late lunch. I ordered 2 pieces cod,small beer battered chips and 2 small cokes and a small sauce tub for me and my partner and it cost me $33 !
I can get 2 seafood baskets elsewhere for that cost with drinks
Fish was larger than usual pieces,hot and nicely crumbed and golden,chips were crispy and nice and nothing was oily.
Drinks could have been colder and were just cool ,waited 20 minutes with one order in front of me
The girl serving ice cream looked tired and kept pulling "what now" faces at customers.
The girl who served me was nicer. Waited for my beeper to go off to collect order which was down below the counter i was collecting from.
Wandered across the rd to eat ,watching the cars the ocean and people, lovely spot to have fish and chips. Clean and neat but way Expensive. considering the area i suppose the customer pays.

Approximate cost: $8

Our first time here and this place is top knotch.
What can I say but OMG
We got here for lunch early and only 2 before us,whilst we waited 10 min the place got packed with people waiting out on the street,lol score us.
We ordered fish each,potato scallops and medium loaded chips. Well I thought medium was the right size for us but never again ,we will get small lol the serving was enormous! beautifully cooked chips,loaded sky high that the double box doesnt shut and we were looking at it with wtf lol sour cream,cheese strips of bacon not the lousy bits u usually get.
Fish and scallops were cooked noce and golden,crumb was tasty.
Not oil on the box which is great as we could taste the food.
The packs are so much value for money. 14 pieces of calamari and small chips $8, 2 burgers 2 scallops and small chips for $15. Seafood basket for $10 with lots in it. The servings are huge.try it out and you wont be disappointed

Very happy spent about $60 for lunch and so filling.place is clean and layed out with plenty of room .loved it

Well friday night takeaway here had us ordering half and half family pizza ,prawn and something called sticky fingers.
I think maybe this place has changed management or cooks in the past 6 mths.
Service was 15 minutes which was good,place was near empty on a friday night at 7 pm whereas before we were waiting behind around 6/7 people.
The drinks fridge has been brought to the front of the counter which blocks the menu board behind it from where u order.
Tables and chairs inside and out,decor is the same but the food is way different and below what we were used to from this place.
The pizza base was chewy,the toppings were chewy,prawns wernt fresh as they were also chewy,maybe cooked too long who knows. Couldnt really taste anything distinct.
The sticky fingers half was far from that.ham,chicken fillets? Were just small bits of chicken,mayo,beef ,cheese wasnt gooey ,was over cooked and harder. One bite and you pulled the rest of the ingredients off as well . We both thought the pizza was dry ,couldnt taste any sauce . All in all quite unappetising now.
This used to be our go to pizza place above all but not anymore. Pizza standard has fallen for us.
If you are around bullcock st tho and fancy pizza its ok I suppose. We wont be going back .
Pizzas are $29 for family pizza.
The garlic bread pizza used to be soft and fluffy and cheesy now its like cardboard and the cheese is all cooked away. Shame really,was a great place
They also,have a limited drink choice and pastas. Eat in or takeaway .open for,lunch and dinners

Came for morning tea recently and was a great place to meet up.
Parking is crappy tho ,street parking and meters.so watch it
The place is under cover in the centrepoint building off the main st at bullcock.
You cant miss it on the corner of leeding.
Tables and chairs inside and out,old,photos on the wall is a nice touch and talking point
Open 7am until 2 pm
Staff are lovely and helpful with orders.
Chairs are a bit hard and can be windy outside .
We ordered amd prices are very reasonable and so affordable
Chicken pesto open grill and fish and chips were what we ordered. I had a thick shake and my friend had coffee.
Meals were only $10 and the drinks were $6 and $3:80
The fish and chips were done really nice and not greasy . The open grilled chicken pesto was really pleasing to my friend and she liked the fresh taste and it wasnt soggy.
We will go,back again soon to try more meals and its great for a catch up

This place is so aromatic. Not hard to find,parking is fairly ok outside.
I come here to find spices i never find anywhere else. Can a,ways find unusual ingredients as well.
Its open 9-6 so i find it easy to collect stuff on my way home
Staff are very helpful with answering my q on what things are used for in cooking.
Lots of items from all over the world but if cooking indian thismis the place to be.
Its only small but has lots of stuff.
