A great site to research where to stay and read reviews of people who have stayed there before. I find this site an invaluable tool for finding out the "real deal" for where to stay.

Great range of tapas food, reasonably priced, quick service and good for a large group. Great pizzas with non traditional toppings. The sangria is reasonably priced but a bit watery.

Approximate cost: $15

Best yum cha going and great for a special chinese meal. It describes it's food as fusion, and that's what I like, all your favourites are there but they are done really well and with a special extra something. It's not cheap, but the food is very very good

Approximate cost: $15-25

Great staff - happy and bubbly, nice owners. They take appointments, but if you're after a quick haircut or wash and blowdry they can usually fit you in within the next hour - so you can go shopping and come back

Approximate cost: $30

Not really a place to dine in, although there are a few laminex tables, but the takeaway is great. Food is freshly cooked when you order (before your eyes) and tastes wonderful. They also deliver in about 30 mins

Open from breakfast to dinner. Great coffee, great range of cakes, good cafe style meals. Nice outdoor seating area, that caters for small or large groups. We've had family brunches for up to 20 people (babies to great grannies) everyone found something they loved from the big breakfast to fruit salad and yoghurt, with coffees and juices it was about $20 a head

Approximate cost: $15

Best chocolates around. Lovely owners who care about the product. Make sure you have a coffee - it includes one of the chocolates....hard to pick which chocolate is the best, but passionfruit in white chocolate is divine. Prices are really competitive - about a $1 each

They have yummy cakes and homemade pies and sausage rolls, but their best items are the little cakes, just a mouthful, but so so yummy. Great to take as a gift instead of chocolates

Approximate cost: $1.00
