My car was repaired through my insurance company at BDS. I was a little bit disappointed at the lack of communication throughout the process, however, had a big chat to the owner who was extremely helpful and concerned with my complaint. The car did take a while as they had to wait for parts from Japan but when I received it back it was perfect. My car was only 8 months old at the time of a lady wiping out the entire passenger side so it was a big relief to get it back and have no problems. I can't comment on the price as I didn't pay.
I called in with a nail in my tyre, the guys fixed it right on the spot without me having to unload my 3 kids. I was back on the road in no time. It was so cheap and easy!
My partner bought me a voucher for my birthday which was for a massage and pedicure. The experience was lovely, a little expensive on some of the treatments and I was overcharged when I paid the difference to upgrade my voucher to have a deluxe pedicure. My feet were lovely after the pedicure, however, the nail polish starting peeling off the next day so I was a little disappointed.
I went to this restaurant with a group, I organized the dinner as I had heard good things. It's a really nice space and I love that I can see into the kitchen. Our meals came out very scattered, some people had finished before some people had even got their food. It was a quiet night so it was unexpected that it wasn't more consistent. The meals were nice, the menu offers a wide choice. Meals weren't overly large, but overall a nice meal. The killer was the 'cakeage'. Our table spent nearly $400 of food and wine. One of the girls bought a birthday cake and although I understand that restaurants have a right to charge and we should have pre-checked the price (or they could have offered the price when we arrived and our cake was taken to the kitchen) we were charge $17. After spending so much money on dinner, it would have been nice for them to thank us for the business and either wave the fee or charge a little less!! Anyway, as I said, their choice.

I purchased a jacket from this ladies and girls clothing and accessories shop. Despite it's size, there is a lot of variety and really nice stuff! My sister, who was with me at the time, bought her daughter a georgeous little skirt. I found the prices really reasonable. The jacket is great quality. Service was friendly and I felt welcome.
We ordered a smoked ham pizza, which was a spin on the standard ham and pineapple. It was quite nice. The let down was the tandoori chicken pizza. It came out and straight away I thought it was very flat, no volume in the toppings. I didn't enjoy eating it, it was very dry. There wasn't enough yoghurt drizzled across the top to help the dryness. For the 'gourmet' price, I was a little disappointed. Would I visit again? Probably not unfortunately. The staff were friendly though and the business is well presented.

I drive past Pauls Poultry often and look for the board out the front for the daily specials. On any day I can buy 8 or 9 kilos of different, quality meat for around $50. They are a wholesale meat supplier and worth a visit every couple of weeks to stock the freezer.
I had a lamb kebab, yum!! It was huge, the bread was so fresh and plenty of salad. $9 - worth every cent. Friendly, quick service.

Fast, friendly service. Does a lot of work for my dad and has always been reliable. Arrived on time, mowed as requested and cleaned up. Happy to use again.
Approximate cost: $40
Great place to take the kids - value for money as you can stay the whole day! The babies area suits my 1 year old and the older 2 swim in the middle pool. I would advise calling to see if all areas are open on the day as we drove 40 mins once only to find the baby area was closed, I wouldn't have gone on that day if I had known.
