Little Dynamos is the best indoor children's play centre I have visited thus far, and I have been to about six of them. It is very large, with a decent amount of equipment catering to each of the age groups. It is imaginative, colourful and really quite fun. Biggest problem is that there is barely enough parking, which I wish they would address. Also, I see a lot of rule breaking and dangerous play by kids in the play centre, the venue would benefit from several staff supervising.

Approximate cost: $15

Bay Blu is a wonderful seafood restaurant nestled in a beautiful location in Blakehurst. If you love your seafood and seafood cooked right, this is the restaurant for you! The food quality is great and the customer service is notable.

Numchok Thai is a great Thai-food take-away addition to my local area. It is fresh, and have a delicious menu. I was very impressed with their customer service and delivery times. I will be eating again here soon.

Il Lago Pizzeria is a local gem in the Illawarra and worth checking out if you love your Italian cuisine. The menu is vast and the portion sizes are very generous. The staff are warm and treat patrons like family. I thoroughly enjoy their homemade pastas. Well-priced and they do delivery also.

Vacanza Pizzeria is simply amazing! If you appreciate authentic Italian pizzas cooked with fresh ingredients to the highest standard, than you must check out this restaurant. If pizza is not for you, the delicious homemade pastas were just as divine. I love it here and it is always packed with customers which is a good sign. Highly recommended!

Khluk Street Food is an exciting new Thai/Asian restaurant in my local area. The menu has something for everyone and the customer service is impressive. I ordered via Menulog, and the food was at my house in 20 minutes! The food was fresh and inviting, unfortunately it was a bit average tasting and lacklustre. I would like to try some other dishes from there, so they may or may not get a second chance with me.

Napoli Centro Pizzeria is both authentic and delicious, my friend and I had a really positive experience dining here. The ingredients and the dishes are all traditional, and really yum. The restaurant is obviously a local gem, it was packed the entire time we were there, with a constant stream of customers coming in to collect take away. Highly recommended!

Paris Seafood looked really promising from the outside, but after receiving my food was really disappointing. The staff were helpful and friendly. Unfortunately my food was not delicious at all, in fact I ended up leaving most of it and going home hungry. Maybe they were having an off day, but the food quality was not good and I will not be eating here again,

Headland Hotel Bistro is a great asset to the Austinmer community. Nestled on the Austinmer peninsula, the views of the beach and local area are simply stunning. What a spot to enjoy a delicious meal! This little treasure is popular, and I do suggest getting there early for a parking spot and the optimal table. The food is bang on delicious, with something to please everybody on the menu. It is a tad expensive, but worth it for the overall experience.

Aria is simply amazing! It is everything I thought it would be before I dined there and more. The produce of the highest quality, and the dishes themselves are both refined and decadent. The service is the brilliant, they certainly are on the ball and treat you as special guests of the restaurant. The view from most seats is beautiful and even the restrooms are quite nice. Aria is expensive and certainly a special occasion restaurant for someone like myself, but anyone who gets the opportunity to try it will certainly walk away a satisfied customer with a full tummy.
