The Cheesecake Shop cakes and cheesecakes are the best available. They are more expensive than your supermarket cakes and cheesecakes but they are a lot larger and much much more delicious. I would highly recommend using them next time you need a dessert in a hurry.

Approximate cost: $22

Any treatment at Ella Bache is wonderful and their skin care products feel great on your skin and smell delicious. They are a little bit pricey but for an occasional treat it is worth it. If you choose to purchase their skin care products they too are also quite expensive.

After comparing prices Rex Gorrell are very competitive in the new sales market and reasonable on trade in price. There service department however leave a lot to be desired when it comes to price. Our car went in for a basic service and suggested we spend $1200 on new parts. After taking our car to another mechanic for a second opinion we found out that these parts were not even necessary for another 15000-20000 kms. We sold the car before then so luckily that second opinion saves us quite a few dollars.

Buy this book if you ever go out to dinner, have takeaway, hire cars, book accommodation and you will get your money back very quickly. It is full of great ideas for a dinner out or family day out. It only costs $50 in regional areas. I highly recommend this purchase.

The food at The Mex in Ocean Grove is great. During summer it can be quite busy so you do have to book. They offer 'early bird' sittings at a cheaper rate. Overall this is a great restaurant with good service, reasonable pricing and the food is fantastic.

The food at this Italian restaurant is amazing. The place is a little small so you do have to book early to get a table on a Fri/Sat night. The meals are very well priced and the service is also great. Well worth trying out.

We used Trevor Cooke as our wedding photographer and he did a wonderful job of the photographs. He takes a large number of photos for you to choose from in a variety of formats. They are presented in lovely albums. Trevor has a great personality which helps every stressed bride/groom relax and get great photos of your wedding day.

Nando's burgers are by far better quality than any of the other takeaway chains. It is much a restaurant quality burger from a fast food store. Their buns are crunchy and delicious and the chicken is good quality. The only drawback is that they are more expensive but you do get what you pay for.

Lovely cakes and great coffees. Lovely atmosphere. A great place to go with children during the day because they have an outdoor kids playground. They also have a segregated non kids area for those that don't want the company of other people's children.
