The pork dumplings are pretty good at this little shop inside the dfo shopping centre. A good quick snack while you keep shopping. Think it was 5 for $5 or $6. Good value. The spring rolls are also nice. They were already cooked and ready to go but you can purchase noodles and other things which they make for you. Always go here for a quick shopping lunch.

Approximate cost: $5

This review is for Space Cafe, Nunawading VIC

The cafe is inside the shopping outlet. It is okay but not great. We ordered soup and arancini and it took ages to come out. The arancini ball was already there so they just had to warm it up and you would think the soup would be quick but it wasn't. Had a look around and looked like everyone was over waiting for their order. Also was fairly expensive so that is one of the main reasons why we picked soup as it was the cheapest thing at $9. Was fairly nice but nothing great. Good spot if you want to have a quick bite to eat and keep shopping though.

Approximate cost: $9

Amazing hot chocolates. One of the best I have had in a while and pretty sure they use real chocolate as it tasted like it,no powered stuff. My friend also got a coffee and said it was really good. They had a great selection of cakes and slices. Defiantly worth going to and after a whole lot of shopping it is the perfect ending.Friendly staff too.Going back for another hot chocolate.

This cafe is a great little cafe and look great inside. Chai latte here is pretty good but when they first opened it was a lot better so they must have changed the chai which is a bit disappointing. They have nice little cakes and slices for about $4. The only thing is that the cafe is trying to be too fancy for where it is and the prices for lunch is not the place you would go each day. Also the food is not as good as it sounds like or the price. Think this would be a great spot if they didn't try to be fancy. All friendly staff which is great to see.

This review is for Mexican Graffiti, Geelong VIC

Good and reasonable price food. I forgot what mine was called but it was a chilli beef wrap which was nice. It came with French fries as well for around $17. Service was a bit slow but that's because there was too many staff behind the bar not helping the floor staff. Was the perfect place for a family and group functions. Was probably a bit loud if you were wanting a nice quite meal. Overall it was a bit better than other Mexican places around so I would go back because it was a good meal.

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Ocean Grove Medical Clinic, Ocean Grove VIC

Great doctors, some better than others but you get that at any doctors. Very helpful and because there are a few good doctors you can be sure to get looked after just as well if you can not get into your regular doctor. Can be hard to get an appointment at the times you need so book early if possible. The also have a clinic in barwon heads which helps for more availability. Would defiantly recommend.

This review is for Shark Shack Fish & Chips Takeaway, Rye VIC

Very nice fish and chips. We had a piece of flake which was on of the best I have had. Chips were nice too and their hamburger was a decent size and tasted good. We were just expecting your average fish and chips but were impressed with these ones. Price were good too, fairly similar to every fish and chips but the hamburger and flake were a tiny bit cheaper than usual. Would go back next time we visit.

Approximate cost: $6

This review is for Red Hill Spa, Red Hill South VIC

We booked in for massages here to try it out as peninsula hot springs was booked out. Unfortunately this was nothing compared to the hot springs set up or massage. It was still a good massage but I wouldn't travel back there for another. Red hill is a lovely place and the girls there were nice but the set up was not as good as it could have been and same for massage. Paid $115 each so was expecting great things. They had nice relaxing music but the half way through loud upbeat music and people started talking.Thought it must have been a party near by but turned out to be the girls in the hallway listening to some other music and chatting.i had booked a massage to loosen up my back and neck and she did alright with the back but never worked on the neck much so still had a sore neck and had to get another massage so felt like a bit of a waste.Overall had better massages that cost only $80.They did offer a good range of herbal tea on arrival so that is a plus.

Approximate cost: $115

This review is for Peninsula Hot Springs, Fingal VIC

Great experience and a must go. They have around 25 natural mineral thermal pools at different temperatures. Very relaxing atmosphere onto of the hill surrounded by trees. Best to book during peak periods as they only allow a certain amount in. Cost around $30 for access into the public bathing area. I have been twice to the public part and really enjoyed. They empty the water each night so it is clean. Best to go first thing in the morning together the fresher water. Also been to the private bathing and massage which is amazing. Does cost around $180 but great for group bookings.

Approximate cost: $35

This review is for Black Bull Tapas Bar, Geelong VIC

verified email - 25 May 2013

Best tapas place in Geelong. The food tastes great and the value for money is very good. Great atmosphere and not a noisy place. Staff as always friendly. Great variety of food to try and all plates to share are around $12 and decent sizes. The dessert chef sampling plate is excellent. Would recommend this place to everyone.
