Was super surprised at the quality of food here. I had crispy Barra served on mash with blistered tomatoes, asparagus and hollandaise. It was awesome! Best meal I have had for ages. My hubby had chicken risotto and loved his meal too. The decor is lovely. This was a real discovery for us. Will definitely be back. Good job.

We used Phil to do a feature wall for us about 6 months ago. He did an amazing job and not been a wrinkle or problem at all. He is obviously an expert at wall paper hanging and would use him again without hesitation.

Well I am out $1600 as I have walked away from Coral Homes after paying the initial deposit. Take heed of these reviews people. I would also be a bit wary of a couple of the positive reviews! They always seem perfectly timed.

I feel foolish for losing this money. Unfortunately, I succumbed to the pressure of "If you don't sign today you will miss out on this offer". The cynic in me believed the offer would be extended, but the salesperson was very convincing saying "management would only hold the offer for me until the end of the weekend". The offer was invariably extended, but I was $1600 signed up by now.

However, I was happy with the floorplan and the costings seemed to be close to what I expected. Then a few communications issues started happening. I would be told one thing on the phone, then when I questioned it in writing the answer would change. We had agreed to get prelim tender sorted, but then this somehow got confused and ended up with another few weeks delay with nothing getting done.

Anyway, we finally get some testing done. I was over the moon to get a great soil result. To me, that meant that if my tender was priced on a H class soil and my results came in better, that I would save some money. Oh no, not with Coral. They managed to increase my initial site costs by over $3000. It would have been easily missed in the Tender document as they put the extra money in a different section. Check your figures carefully! Also keep an eye out for random fees like Prelim Assessments, unregistered block fees. I was charged these and shouldnt have been. A few other things increased in price like NBN, council fees etc You need to go through everything with a fine tooth comb.

A bit more transparency would have went a long way.

The Sale Manager got involved when it was all starting to look like I would leave. He seemed sympathetic at the start and said he would follow up a week later, but he never did. It wasn't until after prelim tender that I said I was out that he got back in touch. Again, more false platitudes, saying he would send me his email address etc to see if we could work it out, but he never did.

My land is now registered and the time is ticking with nothing happening. I am not keen on paying a mortgage with nothing yet sorted. I am now researching and looking for new builders/floorplans. An honest builder with realistic prices and transparency is what I am looking for. It may be difficult, but I would rather lose my money than be duped.

PS You may also be told that it is unlikely that you will lose your deposit (well all of it anyway). Don't listen to that either. I asked for a partial refund - I understand there were some costs for soil tests and contour surveys, but they keep the lot.

Do your research. Read these reviews. Don't look for their Facebook page as that seems to have been removed after lots of complaints on their page.

I have not gone into everything in depth, but I really do think I have learned a valuable lesson and had a lucky escape.

At last a restaurant that caters for people who like chicken breast. I hate thigh meat and like my meat to be very lean. Ajantha is one of the few restaurants that I have been to, that cater for fussy meat eaters. I think the food and portions are great and would recommend anyone to try it.

Approximate cost: $14
