I was treated to time away here for my birthday and it was very lovely but I do feel service could be looked at.
When checking in and out it's pretty average no lasting impressions there.
No takeaway menus supplied in room to give you an idea of whats in town, or tourist attractions its all at the front counter.
Found it quite annoying not having numbered parking for the rooms so not always guaranteed a spot near your door for unloading.
We had a fire alarm going off (extremely loud) in our room after calling front desk we found it was attached to a sound system in the room and it was a false alarm but maybe they could have communicated sooner that it was being investigated.
It's looking very tired our verandah overlooked the lagoon going around resort but all pillars were full of bubbling rust, the bathroom had mould in shower.
I just figure for the cost and look of the place it needs freshening up from buildings to staff.

WOW .... I cannot speak more highly of a restaurant.
We caught up with friends here on the weekend and my husband and I were blown away by the service, not once did we have to refill water glasses, wine glasses etc.
The food is cooked and presented to perfection.
Waiter made the specials list sound so inviting much better than just reading it out.
And after a suggestion we left room for dessert oooohhhh banana crostata is to die for.
Atmosphere was comfortable , modern appearance and plenty of staff on hand.
Had such a great time we were the last patrons to leave dining area, other than function in function room.
Can't wait to share this little pearl of a place with family and friends !!!! put it on the to do list

The girls here were really nice, really busy being a Sunday but they still manage to get through everyone in a timely manner.
Had a pedicure. Price is same as competitors but they have a loyalty card avail which is good if your looking for regular visits.
I just wish these places would make you feel a little more welcome , they dont talk they rarely give eye contact its a very awkward environment , but results are obviously well worth it.

Approximate cost: $30.

I was really disappointed after my visit to this store and even more so that is now at my local shopping centre.
I had an iced coffee , filo roll and salad.
I find the servings way too small for the cost .
The filo was the most flavourless, chewy one I have eaten and they bring this long plate out with a child's serve of salad I mean really how much does salad cost ??? little enough Im sure to at least make the plate look full or shove some chips on it they're cheap enough....
Unfortunately took my mum here on a recent shopping trip and left really disappointed and there was one older staff member looked about ready to rip someones head off..... younger girls are beautiful but really the whole air about this restaurant makes it no where near worth the cost they charge.

After a long day of shopping , dropped in here for afternoon tea / lunch with mum and my 2 littlies and the service was fantastic .... kids were given colouring sheets and crayons straight away which allowed us to peacefully look through the menu and order.
Prices are fairly average , little bit steep for cafe food but quality was worth every penny.

This review is for Flicks @ The Funky Barber, Penrith NSW

I can't speak highly enough of Felicity's barber shop.
Located outside the CBD of Penrith I found the location such a great idea making it easy for guys to just drop in.
I was a bit weary being a barber but I have never been made to feel so welcome and so at ease with someones abilities as I was yesterday.
The store furnishings look fantastic and for someone who has only had the business a year today she has built a great customer base that could be seen by how busy she was and I love that she remembers names and makes everyone who enters the door just feel so comfortable.
Its easier if you can make appointments as she has a lot of walk ins.
But fantastic service, great pricing and friendly staff I live in Narellan vale and will be making the trip back because she is worth it.

As far as christian campsites go this one is fantastic, set on the edge of a national park it is a fantastic place to escape from the rush rush but close enough to travel for a relaxing weekend with your peers.
Suitable for adults / and children from school camps to church camps , disability groups this place has it all.
Meals included, dietry requirements attended too , fantastic, dedicated staff and enjoyable aussie bush surrounds.

I am so disappointed to have moved from an area that had a good variety of good take away shops to living so close to an extremely disappointing one.
Hot Chips are so ridiculously overpriced its ridiculous I mean for the $4.50 we were able to feed 4 adults and 2 children here you're lucky to get enough for 2 adults.
Last weekend we attempted to try the burgers. So bland and had herbs added to meat that were off putting. not only that you gotta love paying $6 for a burger they cant even put the top on !!!!! it's not like it was a big order 2 burgers and a chips so not only are they not family friendly cost wise they cant even make a hamburger correctly.
So very disappointed that they don't even make an effort.

Mobile tinting service by Ben FaNtAsTiC !!!!!! Very professional and end result worth the $$ charged over other dodgy operators.
I really appreciate tradesman that can make me feel like i don't have to be watching their work like a hawk to know they arent cutting corners and Ben is one of the good guys.
If you are looking for a guy that will come to you definately look him up

Having just moved to the area I was really impressed with the down to earth staff at this store.
Very welcoming, knowledgeable and processed transaction effectively and efficiently.
Would definitely return for further supplies
