Powerpoints, aerial, down lights, safety switch. Craig was friendly, punctual and professional. Will definitely use him again as our renovations progress.

Paul completed some patching from the electrician moving things, re plastered our shower due to leaking and fixed a sagging ceiling. Great service, prompt, excellent price. Friendly guy who tidied up well.

Approximate cost: $450

Food here is always fantastic. We generally get takeaway, and my only gripe is they say 20 min when you call to order, and its ALWAYS sooo much longer. I dont mind waiting for great food, but please just be honest and say, 'we are really busy tonight, it will be about an hour'. I respect honesty, and their food is so good that i would happily wait that long.

Approximate cost: $15

We have had take away from here a few times now and its always fantastic. On Friday/Saturday nights there can be quite a wait, however, I really appreciate that they let you know when you call that it will be 50 min, (better than saying 20 then making you wait around). Well priced and always fresh.

Approximate cost: $13

Have been here a few times and always enjoy the food.. today i indulged in a cocktail... and it was fantastic... and reasonably priced considering... i did wait to be seated longer than i expect and had a few staff just walk right by me.. but once seated the staff were friendly and attentive. live music was a nice touch... always find Shine to be a lovely place to catch up for a good chinwag with friends...

Babycinos really is like hanging out at a friends place who has an awesome selection of toys. The staff are amazingly friendly and accommodating, and this place has the BEST hot chocolate EVER!

the menu is limited, but delicious and they do their best to cater to your needs.

Its not a play center, its a homely cafe... and i cant say just how much we enjoy spending time there.

I love this place. Yes its a bit tricky to find, yes its a massive hike for us, and yes its small.. but we love it.

Its perfect for pre-school ages kids and the food is great (and mainly healthy). Service is wonderful, their hot chocolate rocks and the baby cinos are super cute.

My favourite part though, is the mums lounge where a huge sign proclaims that breastfeeding is welcome here.. if you dont like it put a blanket on your head...despite knowing that i can feed anywhere... seeing this so proudly displayed makes me smile everytime i visit.

We have visited here a few times and the kids do enjoy it. The big slides are great for older kids and even my 2 and 3 year old love them. I do worry about not being able to see the kids easily at times when its particularly busy.

The food is well priced but mainly fried.. my kids do love the jelly cups though, i feel entry is a bit more expensive that other places that the kids enjoy just as much.

Parking is a bit of a nightmare, but it is literally across the road from the train, so often we make an adventure of it and train it to the play center. The kids love it.

The craft room is great in theory, but in reality is a little disappointing. Yes there is paper and crayons available, but i expected a bit more and maybe a staff member to assist the kids in creating something they could take home. Our first few visits were during the week so i put the lack of craft down to it being quiet during the week, but we have also been on a weekend when the place is packed and still nothing really going on craft wise.

I find the staff efficient but, well, a bit surly for lack of a better term. They don't really engage with the kids at all, i would expect people who could at least pretend to like children to work at a play center.

Overall, its a regular hang out on our list, but not our favourite.

We had our first visit to the silly seahorse yesterday and the kids had a ball. I love that we could see the kids from where we were sitting, the meals were reasonably healthy (nothing fried), staff were polite about reminders about wearing sock.. anyone with a 2 year old understand the hassle of getting them to understand why they must wear socks, toilets were clean .. would like a toddler seat and step perhaps for little people (there may have been one in another toilet however, just not the one we used). Loved the lounges, a wonderful idea for mothers that need to feed babies (would love to see a breastfeeding welcome here sticker up contact your local ABA group if you would like one of these).

Probably wouldn't hold a lot of interest for school age kids, but for my 2 and 3 year old it was perfect.

Cost wise its pretty reasonable, for adult and 2 and 3 year old entry and lunch with multiple drinks for us all it was about $45.. had I been better organised i would have taken water bottles for the kids and myself.

Overall a really good center, bright and clean. We will certainly visit again.

We have had a party here as well as regular play dates when the weather is too hot or too cold and we love this place, staff have always been friendly and helpful, great healthish menu (chicken wrap is delicious), nothing fried so no battles with the kids about chips for lunch, lots of parking space. a regular hang out for our family and friends. Very well priced entry compared to some other localish play centers we have been to.
