These guys have some great products. Their enviro.giene can be used for pretty much anything, toilets, windows bathrooms etc, you can buy it in bulk and make up your own solutions as needed. They have a wide range of products for kitchen and laundry and the best thing is they are Australian made.

We went here for some foodie, wine and music experience. The food was pretty much all franchise style food, nothing unique, the wine was not good and the apple cider I had was sickly and disappointing to say the least. The music was good but pick up your game on the wine and food side, we were expecting gourmet and we got trailer trash :(

The menu at this place is wide and varied and would suit most tastes. Entree of salmon bruschetta was great. My partner opted for reef and beef, my daughter goat curry and for me fishermans plate which included mussels and prawns with a delicious sauce. My partner said he had never had a reef and beef with so much seafood, the steak was cooked beautifully. The last time we ate there I rodered the goat curry and had to wait over 1/2 an hour after everyone elses mains came out. Not this time, the mains came out together. Great service, great food, highly recommended.

I have been here a few times, the menu is great, including a modern slant on Chinese cuisine. Excellent service and excellent food, the menu was so extensive it was hard to choose. Any menu that has XO sauce on it has my approval!

I decided to try Mountain View after a disaster at my last hairdressers. A good hairdresser needs to be honest, and Rachel was. She managed to fix the colour problem from the last hairdresser and did a lovely job, I was happy with the finished product. Rachel was very friendly and easy to chat to. I'll be back again. There was one guy who dropped in for a trim who travels from Philip Island regularly to visit Mountain View, that's dedication!

Lunch for 5 (3 kids 2 adults) flake, dim sims,potato cakes and chips ($60), fish was great, dim sims average, chips and potato cakes average. For fish and chips on the island eating down by the bay a bit dissapointing. Flavour was lacking.

Can't believe that this "attraction" is still in business. $55 later for a 20 minute tour for 2 adults 3 children ( was told at least 45 minutes) came away decidedly disapointed. The website portrays a lot more than there actually is.. Expensive to get in and honestly the chocolate was not exactly top quality..give me lindt at a much cheaper price. Set up for tourist suckers.

We dropped in here for dinner whilst spending a night in the city. The number of patrons is usually an indication of a good Chinese restaurant. This was packed but they managed to find us a table for 2. The menu was extensive and varied, we chose a banquet to get a good cross section of their food. Having travelled to China and eaten in great out of the way restaurants there we were dissapointed. Most dishes lacked something. Service was ok but overall a dissappointing dining experience, glad I didn't choose the abalone at $60 per dish.

Spending a night in the city for an earl airport pick up in the morning. The room was clean and spacious for a city hotel and surprisingly quiet. Great location, we walked to Chinatown for dinner. View left a lot to be desired. Brekkie was included, continental breakfast basic but ok. Twinings tea in the room was a plus and newspaper at the door in the morning was also appreciated.

Dropped into the new Sooki lounge recently, Drinks expensive and tapas overpriced for what you get. We ordered a tapas plate to share and there was 1 stuffed date ..were we meant to chop it in 2 to share? The place is beautifully decorated and would have liked to stay for the live music but we had a movie to attend. One thing offputting, the waitress poured herself a glass of tap water and placed her used glass back into the clean glasses rack without even rinsing the glass...eeewww. It's obviously a place for the touristsm the locals can't really afford those prices.
