I went here for waxing a couple of times. The service wasn't excellent. They seem to mainly be a hairdressers, I think there is only one person that does the waxing. There was nothing wrong with the waxing, but it was a little awkward as she didn't make conversation or anything. Just basically did the wax with a "turn over" or "hold your leg like this" etc every now and then. I must say she's quite thorough with the xxx brazilian though, with more attention to waxing 'behind' than other places I've been.

I think their prices are fairly reasonable. Underarm $18, full leg wax $50 and brazilian $43.

I went here with a voucher: $39 for a 1 hour private lesson for 2 including tea/coffee after the lesson.

I never got the tea/coffee! But I don't mind, I wasn't really there for a drink. This place is amazing. First they fit you with either skis or a snow board (my boyfriend tried both). Then the instructor takes you to the slope - an incline with this carpet-like material that revolves to create a backward movement. The instructor holds a remote which stops/starts the belt. You just stand on the belt and practice various different maneuvers. If you stand with your skis pointed straight for example, you glide down the slope. But using the backward motion of the carpet, you can slow yourself down or stand in one spot - this is used to teach yourself speed control and breaking.

By the end of the hour, I was exhausted. You use muscles in your legs that don't often get used and I could feel it for days. Excellent work out and I imagine a great way to learn to ski before a trip to the snow! Suitable for children and adults. See their website for prices and various different packages they offer. It's a little pricey, but a very unique and fun place!

Went here with a friend and a voucher each. I walked there from Moorabbin train station - it doesn't take too long to get there. Seemed like a bit of a dodgy location though, so I wouldn't recommend going in the dark. The classes were difficult but fun. I did 8 classes. Each time I went there were between 0-4 other people in the class with me, so I got a lot of extra attention. The lady teaching most of the pole dance classes is really good and is more interested in the athletic aspect than the sleazy sexiness that some other businesses go for in their classes.

My only complaint is the lack of beginner oriented assistance. They assume that you have a certain level of arm strength. Essentially, if you can't do a vertical pull up (lift your body from the ground with your arms), you won't be able to do most of the moves they expect you to do. Even when the class size was so small, they would have me attempt a move and then when I still couldn't successfully complete the move, they'd build onto that move! I got the impression sometimes that they were more interested in practising their own moves than teaching.

Aside from my inability to do a lot of things, it was fun and there were some moves I managed to get. Will probably return one day when I have more arm strength!

I went here with a voucher: guided tour and then samples and a pie/pastie.

It is an interesting and informative tour, where they show you the various stages of making their beer. The group was around 15 people, but there was plenty of opportunity to ask questions. Of note for tourists might be that you can't take pictures during the tour (basically to protect their workers who don't want their pictures taken).

After the tour we were taken into a private room and they brought out trays of shot glasses with various different beers in them. There were probably about 8-10 varieties, including a cider and my now personal favourite - Carlton Black (has a nice chocolatey flavour to it!). It was a help yourself kind of thing, so you could try as many as you wanted to while they were bringing random trays out and took a couple of requests before they cut us off the free samples (then you had to purchase your drinks).

I got the pastie and my boyfriend got the pie. I usually don't like pie, but I tried some of his and loved it. Avoid the pastie, it's fairly plain in comparison!

I went here with a spreets voucher, where I got the banquet for two plus wine for $39 (usually $142).

Booking was difficult - I rang up to book on the weekend and the lady said no problem. I told her I would be using a voucher, and she told me they wouldn't accept my booking as they had already filled their quota for voucher bookings for that night. In fact, for every weekend night until the voucher expired! Very dodgy. So I booked for a week night instead.

When I got to the restaurant they couldn't find my booking, but found me a table after 10 minutes (they weren't busy) and wouldn't let me sit downstairs (they have a 'den' which is worth checking out - the waiter let me have a look, even though he couldn't let me sit down there).

The food itself however was great. The best part was the lamb - it fell apart in your mouth. Once again, I had to ask multiple times for things (water, dessert etc). I believe they'd be more attentive to people without vouchers (though I'm not sure I'd be willing to pay their regular prices, fairly expensive for Turkish food!)

I've been here countless times. Many uni students go here for the cheap dumplings. Huge serves for somewhere around $6. The dumplings are usually out within minutes of ordering, sometimes even within the minute. There is free tea which you help yourself to (don't even think about asking the wait staff, they will just point and walk away).

Beware that this place is well known for its lack of hygiene or service. It smells fairly bad (vinegar smelling) and you're often forced to share tables. The cups and bowls are not dried after cleaning, so you need to wipe them out before use. Luckily there are tissues at the table.

There are much better places to eat if you care about service and cleanliness. Certainly don't bring anyone here that you want to impress. But if you're after a quick cheap meal and can laugh at the dodginess of this place, you should try it. The dumplings aren't amazing - but they're good enough! I personally like the steamed mushroom and vegetable dumplings and the prawn and pork wantons.

Approximate cost: $6

I opened my bank accounts at this branch and the staff were attentive, explained the different account options to me and are always very friendly when I do various transactions. I recommend using Commonwealth Bank's phone service too, as they take your calls any time of the day (I've called at 3am before) and are very helpful and friendly, making conversation with you as they look into your enquiries.

This is our local post office. The staff here are the absolute slowest post office staff I have ever seen - they walk, type and do everything slowly. It's a bit frustrating. There is usually 1-2 staff at the counter, sometimes 3. There is pretty much always a line out the door of people waiting to collect packages. I would avoid going to this post office if possible.

However, if you don't mind the wait, the building is worth seeing. It's very old, opened in the late 1800s I believe. There's a plaque in the entrance to the post shop with the date it first opened.
