Not the fanciest place in the world, but if you're not as rich as you thought you'd be by 21 it's perfect. The best location; it's quiet but a short walk away from the City and Bridge Rd. All the necessities are available including a laundry. And they often have special deals. Like I say it's not the Hilton, but a huge step up from backpackers and only a little more expensive.

Great prices, great range, I know a lot of the service staff personally and they're big nerds. I always ask them for computer advice. I noticed the store is badly full during busy times, but I also notice that doesn't stop them from paying attention to each customer as they come up. I buy all my computer stuff there.

Very friendly staff. I went for knee rehabilitation, and they helped me quite a bit. I think that's where they shine though, because a male friend went for back pain and said they were too gentle. So a good place to go for rehabilitation/if you prefer a female physio.

Approximate cost: $50

It doesn't take long to wait for service, but when they seat you it's now arranged so you share tables with other groups. I've never liked that, since it's used to just cram more people in. When I ate meat the food was delightful, but going there as a vegetarian wasn't (Japanese food isn't traditionally vegetarian). So meat-eaters enjoy, just not for me.

Approximate cost: $20

If you need natural alternatives, then this is the place to go. Price is as you'd expect for a natural/organic store, but they have things that are difficult to find just anywhere, so worth it for those particular items. The staff are always helpful and well-informed.

A gorgeous little shop with beautiful variety. It's a little on the expensive side, but no more than other quality lingerie providers. Has bra and brief/thong sets, as well as corsets and other fancy things. You can order online at their site as well.

Very friendly staff and lots of quirky merchandise. Great ideas for friends and family members. I walked away with a very cute bear!

Approximate cost: $20+

We used them to clean an old house we were selling. Very easy to deal with and they catered a special cleaning package that gave us everything we wanted at a reasonable price.

I went for an anniversary and it was lovely. We both sat down at 8:30pm so it was less crowded, which I would recommend. The staff were very friendly and checked on us constantly. The food was divine, we're both vegetarian so it was a rare treat for us to have so many choices. And not a clumsy meat-eaters attempt in the lot. The sit down menu was my favorite, the buffet didn't look that appetizing. It is more expensive that way, but we were going for fancy and romantic. Came to A$150 and we ordered 4 appetizers, 8 drinks, a bread, a rice and three mains

Approximate cost: $25
