Wow, love it! This French restaurant has the best mussels. It is on my list every time I go there whether it is entree or main size. The snails are worth a try to and as I had never had them before I was very pleasantly surprised. The staff are just great and very friendly and will try and help you with whatever you need including trying to squish in your pram which a lot of people won't. Very quaint and cosy atmosphere!

This little cafe is always buzzing with people and any wonder. It has a really large selection of meals, cakes, cookies and snacks. Great coffee and for those of us that love tea you get a large pot of real leaves. Great location so close to offices and shops so great to meet the hubby for lunch.

Great little Bakery! It has the most convenient location and there is heaps of parking and a stopping bay right outside the door if you are in a real hurry to duck in quickly and grab a yummy cake or pie. Heaps of different bread products and there are too many cakes to choose from. The staff are always ready to serve you or slice your bread just the way you like.

I recently renovated my home and enclosed out back patio are with custom made blinds. From the service being 100 per cent fast and efficient to the best presentation and consultation with the representative to the fitter being neat,
tidy and I was more than just another job. Installing these wonderful blinds has given us another room in our home to use and sit outside in my new fully enclosed room without the rain, wind or mozzies! I would totally recommend this local family business as they are all about giving you what you envisage for you home and the attention to detail is second to none.

I can spend forever in this shop as it has so much stuff in it and you want to look at everything. they have a really good gift range with beautiful glasses and cups to suit all occasions. the kitchen wares side of it is amazing......things and gadgets I have never seen before. I bought another cookie cutter that I had been searching for and it really wasnt that expensive when you see what good quality all their goods are. You will find all the top brands including pots and pans, serving ware etc. Give yourself a bit of time for this one!

I find this chemist hard to get things from unless you are after a lovely gift. Great service from the staff if it isnt busy and the baby weigh station is there for you to use even if the nurse isnt available which is handy. They take part in the rewards program also which works well if you purchase a lot from your chemist.

I have had a few parties through Partylite and they are always a success. Everyone loves the products and flavours even though they are a little expensive but still so worth it as the flavour goes all the way through the candle so even if you relight it it smells again and you don't need too many of them going to acheive the scent. They also have a lot of accessories like stands, votive holders etc. They are party plan and you get a large commission from your party to spend on products so it is worth having the party. You may even like it so much you want to become a consultant!

Jolly Beef is run by a lovely husband and wife team that are super friendly. The salads are freshly made along with some traditional Phillipino desserts etc on site and the BBQ chickens are so good and the southern fried chicken is amazing.

Not a bad takeaway place, fresh oil used which is hard to come across. You can get pretty much whatever you ask for done in either crumbs or batter. Staff not always the friendliest but whatever, all I'm after is fresh cooked quick meals. When you ask for no salt you get no salt which again is very hard to get as everyone covers all your food in it. Calamari is tender and you can also buy fresh fish to take home and cook yourself.

A novelty to walk up to the window and choose your own steak, meals are huge but lovely. The staff are very laid back almost to the point of too laid back but it is still enjoyable. Prices are reasonable and drinks mostly pub prices. Great old building well spread out for those friendly get togethers.
