This gym has great facilities, including plenty of classes and a steam room. The club is set up so that you can get ready for wherever you need to be afterwards in relative comfort and with irons and hair styling equipment provided. Plenty of space, great views, great equipment. Only problem is the price! It is fairly similar to most clubs and the hours are good but it is an investment.

Approximate cost: $25/week

Went here for a party and overall is a very trendy club with a bit of a hipster feel compared to the usual. Drinks were very reasonably priced (and delicious sangria); staff were friendly and efficient. Plenty of seating as well as room for a dance floor. Only problem would be that the bathrooms get pretty unusable quickly (ladies and gentleman's) and the dance floor gets really humid. Bookings available, 7 days, 5pm-5am.

Went here for dinner, got a great special (large pizza and a drink for $15). The pizza was huge, expect to get through half of it or to be very full if you finish it! Great options for flavours, pretty homey interior, not too flash. Would definitely come here again for a relaxed pizza or pasta. Lunch deals look like good value too; vegetarian options available.

Approximate cost: $15-20

These guys sell dippin' dots! Totally yummy ice cream, 3 sizes starting at $3.50. Service was friendly and they sell coffee and other treats too. Great place to stop on the way to work or one the way home from dinner.

Went here for a function, loved the feel of the place. It was kind of like having a house party hosted with a bar! Wine was quite good and prices were reasonable. The design was great, although the bathrooms are a little bit dingy. Overall I would recommend it for a function if a relaxed, mildly hipster vibe is your scene. Not open Mon-Wed. Cool place.

This place is great! Really authentic feel and taste, you can even watch the chefs pull the noodles and cook the dumplings through the glass. Reasonably priced and lots of options, including vegetarian.

Approximate cost: $8-12

Yummo! Went here with my father and partner. Lots of options for everyone, they are a bit more expensive compared to some of the other cheap, yummy thai places in neighbouring suburbs but that is made up for in ambiance. I had the Pad Ew and it was absolutely excellent and I didn't manage to finish which is always a good sign. The veggie spring rolls were as expected and the Satay sauce was good. Would definitely recommend the coconut juice. Service is ok but not very personal. Nice place to eat if you don't want to break the bank but want a nice atmosphere and some decent food.

Approximate cost: $15-17

This review is for Unique Sydney Tours And Cruises, Sydney NSW

Went on the Convicts, Castles and Champagne cruise with my boyfriend to Goat Island. The service was timely and friendly and the riding the tall ship through the harbour with bubbles was definitely a great start. However, when we arrived at Goat Island we were led into a dingy shed for the lunch component. The vegetarian food, which is optional if you give notice 3 days ahead, is just the potato and pasta salad without the meats. Overall food wasn't great, but the free beverages did continue. The tour in general seemed to be lacking, a significant portion of the talking time was spent on where the roof tiles came from, the current caretaker and a squatter incident from about a month ago. The castle was a gunpowder magazine, the convict aspect is hearing about the work life of 1 convict on the island. Overall, was a nice day in the sun but I would not recommend it.

This review is for Spuds N Crepes, Sydney NSW

Looked like a great place for a simple crepe with lots of options and different ingredients. Buzzer lets you know when the food is ready so can sit whilst you wait. So service is as expected for take-away. The crepes however were somewhat sickening, by boyfriend and I both felt gross after. They were loaded up with the cheapest ingredients and barely any of the rest. Overall it wouldn't be my pick of the great variety in the shopping centre.

Had a coffee with my partner here on Sunday morning, lovely outdoor seating complete with a cute blanket to help with the cool morning. Staff were friendly, timely and honest. The long black had a great strength to it and was very decent for Sydney coffee. The mocha wasn't particularly sweet, but there is raw sugar on the table so not a biggie. Didn't venture into the food but looked wonderfully varied! Overall, nice little spot for a relaxed morning coffee.
