The dirt buggies were a great experience. Mark was fantastic, guiding us through the tracks and ensuring safety while allowing us to have some fun at the same time. A bit costly at 100 for the first hour and 75 for each hour after. Would recommend regardless, we thought 2 hours were just right. Be prepared to get completely covered in dirt!

Approximate cost: $175

Probably the cheapest way to get to the airport (if you're not travelling in a group). Frequent, comfortable, friendly/helpful drivers, several drop off points at the airport.

Approximate cost: $26 return

Tasty food and the portions are huge for the price. The minced lamb skewers are particularly yum. A bit small and can get noisy during lunch hours. But if you're after good food, not fuss or ambience this is the place for Afghani food around the area.

Cakes to die for! Passionfruit brownie and peanut jelly slices need a special mention. A tiny place that is easy to miss. On the expensive side, but worth it's taste in gold :)

Approximate cost: $8.50

Best thing about Anytime Fitness is that members can use the gym 24 hours a day. Membership prices are average but it is good value for the all day access. Quiet in the mornings, but like all gyms, gets busy in the afternoons/early evening. Lots of cardio equipment and weights. Several TV screens for some entertainment while you workout. Shower/change room, water fountain. No transparent glass walls :)

Been there a few times. Good location, nice casual atmosphere, mixed groups of couples, families, friends & decent service from staff. The delizioso chicken calzone is amazing. Food in general is ok, used to be better.

Approximate cost: $25

Have been taking my 12 year old car here for the last 3 years. They gave me the cheapest quote for panel beating, although I had to wait a week or two as they were having trouble sourcing aftermarket parts. Job was done well and fairly quickly. Have since returned for routine servicing and a minor engine fault - competitive pricing, no fuss. Would recommend.

Stayed at these serviced apartment overnight. Excellent value for money - $125 per night on weekdays for a 1 bedroom. Great location just off Chapel St, although a little close to the train line so there can be some noise from trains passing by. Not super austhetically pleasing from the outside (just looks like an older residential block) but the inside is very well maintained. Nice and cosy with heating/cooling, a small TV, cooktop/oven/microwave/kettle/toaster/kitchen utensils, small dining table, couch and comfy bed. Toiletries, towels, sheets provided. Free parking and limited free wifi. Check in at Hotel Claremont (a short walk) was fast and easy. Excellent service from reception staff. Check out was even quicker - just needed to ring reception, leave the keys in the room and walk out.
Recommended if you're looking for a decent place without a high price tag.
