Nice little cafe serving good quality meals. Better than the pub grub in the area, and the atmosphere is nice and relaxed.

Pretty standard pizza, maybe just above the average, but not gourmet in terms of quality. Cheap, local, good enough for an easy Friday night.

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for Hulm's Bakery, Colac VIC

We were in the mood for a tasty treat on the way through Colac, and found Hulm's Bakery. It looked good from the outside, but when we got inside, nothing really inspired us. We selected the Chocolate Hedgehog, which was admittedly fantastic! However, my usual vanilla slice didn't look too great, so I bypassed that option. The ratings show 3/5, however it's closer to 3.5 on each. The prices were very good.

Approximate cost: $2

We went on a Friday night, and this place is primarily a take-away place. It has tables and chairs, but you need to order like a take away. They did, however, bring the pizza out to us, so a tick there for that. The Mexicana pizza was lovely, plenty of toppings, very juicy and tasty, and was a Special as well. The service was OK, although there were a lot of signs in the place: Do not move tables and chairs, no BYO anything, no changes to various pizzas, no unruly behaviour, no, no, no!!! That was a slight turn-off. I'd go back for take-away, definitely not eat-in as there's no ambience.

As far as Fish and Chip shops go, I have to say, "Wow!!", these guys are fantastic. The fish is very fresh and the chips are perfect. We sat out the front, as we were passing through Colac, and the owner made sure he brought out extra serviettes for us. A very nice touch. I'd go back to Colac just for the quality, and the service is also brilliant.

This review is for The Victoria Hotel, Port Fairy VIC

The venue was really nice and well put-together. It was not too modernised, just nicely done. The food was excellent. I had the chicken parma which was fresh chicken, beautifully done, and my partner had the BBQ chicken which she seemed to enjoy, except it was drowned in juice... therefore, the Potato Rosti was soggy. The service was adequate and friendly, but took a while to re-order drinks. The bar areas are really cosy, and I could see myself spending a lot of time and money in front of the open fires during winter.

Approximate cost: $25

This place looked popular due to the crowd as compared to other venues, and the prices looked quite reasonable too. I had the Big Brekky which was nice, but not as 'big' as many others I have had in my time. My partner had the Eggs Benedict which was lovely. The staff were OK, but could have been more attentive... for example, we asked how big one of the soft drink bottle were, they found out and told us, and walked away... there was no offer to order it!! So, they lose marks on service, and the food was slightly better than the mean. Nice overall, and I would go back!

Approximate cost: $15

This place was really lovely for a relaxed weekend away! From the lovely young lady at check-in, to the quality of accommodation, to the location, this place was better than advertised! Will definitely go back! Even the car gets a locked garage, and you can walk everywhere!!

Approximate cost: $130

This review is for Pizza Cafe At The Grand, Mildura VIC

I'd give this place 5/5 for everything, but for pizza, it has to be the BEST pizza I've ever had. This pizza was REALLY good, so if possible, would have said 4.5/5. The toppings were generous, and the size was great. The pasta was also great, and this is someone who isn't a big pasta fan. The service was good, we had a big group but were looked after well. The value was unbeatable for what we had, so very happy about that. If I'm ever in Mildura again, I'll be heading here for a treat! 4.5 Stars overall!

I don't normally review a fast food chain, but I had to this time... these guys sold me a burger that actually looked like it did in the picture!! I was totally amazed! So that was great. However, their service was poor, and the chain does not provide very good value overall, as a rule.

Approximate cost: $6
