Had my car cleaned whilst i waited, the guys are friendly,though staff changes a fair bit,sit and have a coffee or go around the corner to the Chinese restaurant to have a quick take away lunch. Across the road are plenty of eateries.the guys are fairly quick washing cars and they always end up spotless and the windows streakless. Cafe inside is clean and neat and bright. Not a bad place to relax whilst waiting always done a good job

Approximate cost: $25

A
Ways stop here when on our way to sydney. Beautiful view of the harbour whilst eating outside. Place is clean, friendly and yes there calamari is excellent, gets me in. Fish actually tasted fresh and wasn't greasy. Wide variety of seafood and reasonably priced. Staff have always been really friendly. A must to stop by and have a break

Always extremely helpful. Especially peter or jackie.the store is set out nicely,prices are comparable and most times cheaper than any other store.its big and bright red and you cant miss it. Parking isn't much though,a few spaces outside the store.overall im happy with the office chairs and the desk i purchased.

Giving this place one star is pushing it for me. Short story,i won a night at this hotel. Booked it for the night i wanted,was never told anything else other than thanks and see you . Arrive on the night with partner only to be told there is a $200 deposit! I was never told this when i booked and told the woman i had won the night there. So after a heated disgusted conversation ,the manager was brought to me, he wanted the 200 deposit as well, i ended up giving in for $100 still disgusted. Given a key and told hope u have a nice stay ,no directions to our room we found it though. Ok room was overlooking the car park ( king room mind you) nothing to see and hear but noisy patrons, checked out the bathroom omg! Why this place has given itself a 5 star rating is mind boggling. The bottom outside of the toilet was dirty and dusty,there was a long black hair on the shower wall! The sink wasn't that clean,the bathroom looked like it had a lick and a polish nothing more. The bed was quite comfy though but the flashing lights of cars and street neons up the road were annoying even with the curtains shut. Next morning at check out we had to wait 20 min whilst someone checked our room to make sure we didn't take anything we weren't supposed to. Made us feel like criminals or school kids being chastised .i did complain again about winning a room and having to pay a deposit and not being informed of this in the first place. No apology just "its policy" i thought it stunk and i also mentioned the dirty bathroom. I wouldn't ever even consider staying there again even for a special occasion. Over priced and no service what so ever, who wins a contest and has to pay $200 deposit? I did email a letter of complaint but never even received an acknowledgement. Good luck if you want to check it out hopefully staff and management have changed and the cleaners also

Approximate cost: $300

ive been buying online from these guys for about 18 months now. nothing is over $3 ,rarely anyway. you can get all your pantry, bathroom and cleaning items for far less than any supermarket, postage is about $12 + depending where you live but mines usually 12 and they have specials on postage sometimes free sometimes all you can get for $7 post. takes mine about a week to arrive.example pantene shampoo is $2 lots of variety los of fun to check it out online,if they run out and its not in your order email them and they deposit the loss back into your account right away,never had a problem and glad my bestie got me onto them,its the only way i do all of the above shopping now

This review is for Sushi Train, Aspley QLD

Cant say enough about these guys, happy ,welcoming, fresh,clean.i love any of the prawn dishes and the steamed dim sims. The wagyu sushi is so tender .always packed on thur fri nights. Always superbly clean. They do takeaway as well and have a vip card where you can gain points every time you pay and then end up with a free meal when you save them and cash them in or you can use the points each time you're there to make it a cheaper meal.my daughter enticed me to try and since then we have gotten my son into it and another friend. Worth a try ,its not all raw most is cooked

This review is for Freestyle Tout, Fortitude Valley QLD

Adore this place ,just dnt go on thurs fri or sat nights and not expect a fair wait,the line is out the door. Exquisite desserts esp the brioche that i cant keep away from with a jug of chocolate to pour over the brioche accompanied by fresh raspberries and vanilla bean ice cream, my mouths watering already! Brilliant shakes,hot meals. Very comfy inside with lounges and pilows against the walls. Outside is winter is charming with supplied light knee blankets and heaters on. Does get very busy and noisy, outside is better for intimacy lol. The wait staff are very friendly and always charming and willing to answer or find out the answers for your q's . A friend had a weird drink one night made on palm sugar and condensed milk but she did enjoy it. Love the place and will keep on returning

This review is for Yatala Pies, Yatala QLD

verified email - 19 Aug 2013

Yatala pies is a good rest spot between gold coast and Brisbane. Love the family pies though a little higher in price than most.all chunks of steak in them and not sloppy or fall apart. I love the steak bacon and cheese with added potato lol piggy i know. Have had many family pies. They aren't the best on fancy presentation. ,very rustic but great meals. Plenty of parking and tables to sit. Variety of hot foods and drinks and ice creams. Enjoys many stop overs over the years. Its a must, cant go by
