This is a really quant little cafe also trading as a homewares/clothes shop. It is set back from the main road and really is a lovely place to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee. The owner is very friendly and accommodating . The coffe is on the dear side $4 for a large. Beware it is hard not to be tempted by the lovely goods while sipping your cappucino!

This review is for Burger Lounge, Eltham VIC

The burgers here are really delicious, fresh and on the healthier side for a burger! They are a rather substantial size and could quite easily be shared between two for a meal. Due to its popularity it can become crowded but the atmosphere is pleasant. The kids meals are very cute, containing a mini burger, chips, drink and treat. N.b. Family friendly

Approximate cost: $20 for burger, chips and drink

We dined here for a party so they gave us exclusive use of the upstairs floor with a karaoke machine. We enjoyed a set buffet style meal which included a large variety of flavoursome dishes. The food was fresh, very tasty and there was loads of it. The waiters were friendly and helpful and everyone had a great time. Would definitely go here again.

Approximate cost: $30

We took our English guests here. We ordered a value pack including 4 flakes, 4 dim sims, 4 potato cakes and minimum chips. It was a nice amount for 4 adults and two kids. The flake was quite chewy and not great but everything else was cooked crisply and to a lovely brown colour. We took the food across the road to a lovely scenic spot by the Yarra.

Approximate cost: $30

This review is for Hill Valley Garden Maintenance, Hurstbridge VIC

We have used Hill Valley maintenance for two years now and had exceptional service. We live on a 3 acre bush property that needs a lot of maintenance. Nev chops fallen trees for fire wood, keeps the grass low, pulls out blackberries and clears weeds, prunes, tidies paths and many of the other jobs required. Our property is far more fire ready now. He is a very hard worker and keeps our land in great shape. I highly recommend this service.

This review is for Billy Lids Indoor Playcentre, Hawthorn VIC

This is the best play centre we have been to in Melbourne. It is clean, has a pleasant atmosphere and the children are generally well behaved. The equipment is varied and stimulating and there are different sections for different ages. The cafe is very nice with healthy options though you can not bring your own food into the centre. It does end up being an expensive day out though, often we spend between $40 and $50 and we tend to do it only for special occasions. I have found it quite a nice place to take friends who don't have kids as we can have a proper conversation while the kids are entertained.

Approximate cost: $50 for two kids and snacks

This review is for Rare Bears, Eltham VIC

verified email - 07 Feb 2013

The kids always have a nice time here (5yo and 3yo). There is an under 3's section that has plenty of toys/equipment and a larger section for older kids. The kids can be entertained for up to two hours. The price is very steep however and by the time you pay for 2+ kids and potential drinks/snacks at the cafe it ends up a very expensive excursion (food is not allowed to be brought into the centre).

Approximate cost: $11 + per child

This review is for Bolton Pizza, Eltham VIC

The pizza is very tasty and at a reasonable price. The staff are a delight and always helpful. They always carry the pizza to the car when I am struggling with the kids and give them free M&M's.

Approximate cost: $12

I was given a voucher for a massage at the richmond branch. Jordan gave me a wonderful massage and further helpful information to deal with some RSI problems I have.

This review is for Eltham Leisure Centre YMCA, Eltham VIC

My family and I have been going to this gym for two years. As I go in off-peak times there are always available machines. My children attend the childcare and love it - they request to go each day. The atmosphere is very friendly, supportive and inclusive.
