As a Grandma I was excited to see they stock the old Little Golden Books. I mean the ones which were first published in the 1940's. It is great to buy my grand daughter the same books I bought my children when they were tiny. This store has everything. The young man who serves saturdays is a delight. They are really helpful too. Will order books in for you and their specials a good. You can afford to buy yourself new books because you can get 5 for $25 and the specials include some really well known authors.

Consistently great quality red meats and chicken. I always shop here particularly if cooking for guests as I know without hesitation that the meat will always be tender, Best T Bone steaks in the south. Can be a tad expensive for some things, but some items like chicken thighs and breasts can be cheaper than supermarkets. All in all it balances out. The quality far surpasses supermarkets. Staff are friendly and really efficient. Display is good. The shop looks and smells clean. Variety is excellent. They make good sausages. Make sure you order your xmas food here too. Easy parking and no horrendously long waiting lines. Worth a drive if you don't live nearby.

I would be lost without this fruit market. They far surpass any of the fruit and vegies found in the supermarkets. Try leaving mandarines out on kitchen counter for a week. Supermarket ones would be mouldy, but the quality from O'Halloran Hill is great. Produce lasts longer, tastes better, looks better and they have the best value nuts in the south. They also open really long hours at xmas time making it easy to shop before work. Its hard to move around the store, but this inconvenience is overcome by the great food. Problem is I spend more than I intended, because I can't resist buying extra

I found Cafe De Paris disappointing. Only went once with a friend. Food was fine - as you would expect from a shopping centre cafe, but the service from the waitress who brought our coffee to the table was poor. The coffee slopped all over the saucer and made quite a mess. We felt she just threw the cups down on the table. It just spoiled the experience. Don't like to be a whinger but I would rather have carried it myself. I agree that prams are welcome and it is a bit easier to fit in here than at other venues.

Yes Rosiney, They seemed to forgot our whole tables mains because we waited a long time, but we eventually got them. Couldn't get too upset because good friendly atmosphere and they are very very busy. Big groups. Popular spot for birthday parties. Had my nieces 21st birthday there. Very loud so don't go for a cosy quiet dinner. Good gutsy Italian food. Word of advice. Servings are generous. I had Fettucine Vegetarian - delicious. Next time I would share this with a friend and then have room for one of their beautiful desserts which looked wonderful, but alas couldn't fit any dessert in. I would definitely go again and would recommend highly to others as a noisy, lively, enjoyable place to be especially on a winters night with hearty food to warm the soul. I love Italian and its good!

I purchased an entertainment unit on Friday and it was delivered at 8:45am Saturday morning. Their delivery is excellent. Cost of delivery $45. I have been looking for an entertainment unit for some months now and I not only found the one which looked great but was cheapest of all those I looked at. $299 - bargain. I now wish to purchase a desk and have my eye on one in the store. The staff were friendly and helpful. Great items for sale. Good location with easy parking. The catalogue is online so you bring it in and staff will show you exactly where the item is in the store. I was really impressed.

A special outing for the girls. Make sure you dress up to make it more special. For lovers of Audrey Hepburn and anything pink. Makes you want to go home and paint everything pink. Beautiful cakes and high tea while expensive is a lovely experience. Go for the decor and beautiful china more than anything else. I take both my Mums and they love it and girlfriends who need a girly day

I have been using BlueBird Bakery for 3 years now to cater for birthday parties, engagement celebrations at home etc. They have the best hot pastries, small cakes and celebration cakes - made to order, absolutely delicious. I would never go anywhere else. If you want to impress your guests you won't be disappointed. Staff are good - efficient and helpful. They are always busy

This is one of my favourite cafes and I have been going for a couple of years on weekends now. Very rustic. Good atmosphere particularly if you are dining alone. Very interesting Marilyn Monroe decor. Good wholesome food with healthy options on the menu. A very friendly and relaxed atmosphere which permeates the diners as people are friendly toward one another. A great pity it is not open in the evening. I would go here for a quick cheap casual dinner with friends quite regularly if it was open in the evening to get away from those quick pasta places. Highly recommended

If you need a gift for someone who has everything, then ABC Shop is for you. A great range of DVD's and books for people who have specifics interests. I particularly like the series DVD's you can buy. I purchase all gifts for my father here and he loves the DVD's. Anything from fiction, science fiction to real life and adventure. It has something for everyone and great for kiddies too. One of my favourite shops. I can't walk past it. If you are waiting for you show to begin at the cinema, take a little walk and call in. You won't be disappointed
