We went here for a 70th birthday for Sunday lunch. Firstly was extremely busy! We have 2 kids (6 & 2) and they were bored, very busy & overwhelming for them. Having said that, the kids meals were great value & yummy.
We found our table very squishy & my seat was in front of pole so very hard to get in & out of.
The meals were nice, I had dips & hubby had calamari. The service was good too.
Perhaps better suited for people without younger kids. We did have toys & colouring books but they got bored quickly, and we had driven 2 hours to get here, so they wanted to move around, but too busy & squishy!

I love going here to see what they have got! Always good quality products. They have everything, clothing, nik naks, lots of furniture, shoes, bags, bedding, toys & books. I pop in a few times a month & nearly always leave with something!
The staff are lovely. Easy to make donations to them too, large bin outside for a/h and a smaller bing at door for during the day.

We stopped here for lunch on a Sunday - BOY was it BUSY! Took me about 5-10 mins just to get served, people pushing in everywhere...very disorganised service. The staff were running around everywhere...
Our pies were delish & so was milkshake. The decor was great too we loved all the wood carvings. Plenty of seating inside.
We would happily come back, maybe not when it's rush hour though!

What a wonderful experience! The trains run between Leongatha, Korrumburra, Loch & Nyora. We caught from Korumburra to Loch. The prices are fantastic - was about $39 for 2 adults + 2 kids (2 & 6). Korumburra station is gorgeous! And they have a museum & lots of old photos. The train trip was lovely & the guard on board wasa lovely man too! The kids LOVED the cow that races the train! Very funny! And that they could talk to the driver & toot the horn! It was a wonderful trip & we are planning to come back!
Everyone involved was just so nice (all volunteers) Thanks for a wonderful day out!

What a lovely cafe in a gorgeous town! We stopped for afternoon tea...we had a choc berry cake & baked cheesecake & they were both home made & delish. The iced coffee was lovely & so was the milkshake for the kids. Hubby was happy as he could have a beer too! The price was very affordable (slice of cake was $4.50 very reasonable!) The owner was lovely too. We would happily come back again.

We stopped in here for lunch on a Sunday. Lovely pub, I can remember coming here as a child & it was always packed....got to say we were a bit dissapointed. The inside looks more set up for a band night not a nice pub meal, no tables etc.. like in the picture on website. Bit confusing where to order/get menus from. The outside balcony area is lovely overlooking the bushland & river.
We had our 2 kiddies with us (2 & 6) so they were quite bored with nothing to do...and on balcony there are 2 staircases each side with no gates on them so we had to keep them away from there...
The meals were ok. We had nachos each (which were lovely) & kids had nuggets. The kids meal was dissapointing for the price, they were only thigh nuggets & kids don't like them...
The staff were average too, not many smiles on the day we went...
Overall ok, but coming from a family perspective was not really suited. This pub could be a gorgeous place to come to...but felt more like a local hangout to us.

It is so hard to find a place that is really child friendly...we saw this place as we drove by & decided to stop for dinner....The kids (2 & 6) loved the moving dinosaur out the front. The indooor playroom was FANSASTIC, we didn't see the kids the whole time we were there, apart from when their dinner was ready! The play room is suited for the younger kids prob 3-8ish, not much for little ones (that are crawling or cant climb yet) and not much for older ones - maybe a few playstations would be great for older kids...

The kids meals were ok, they had hot dogs + chips. Hubby & I had hamburgers. The meals I would say are very dissapointing for the price they charge, nothing spectacular..unfortunately I have had burgers from the fish n chip shop that were nicer & much cheaper!
I think if they looked at improving the meals it could be a fantastic place. The staff were friendly & it was clean...
I wouldn't describe as a resturant, the atmosphere, food & decor is more like a licenced play centre...
We would come back purely for the fact that the kids had a great time! And if they are happy we are happy!

Approximate cost: $15

Gorgeous stuff in here! Brands they have include Guess & Pandora & some giftware pieces too. They always seem to have good sales (especially around Christmas) and the staff are always friendly & know what they are talking about.

What a lovely nursery! Well set out, nice gift shop & lots of outdoor statues. Staff were so helpful and were around & available to ask for help. Prices are great, and they have a little play area for kids which is always a bonus! Well worth a visit if you need plants!

Unfortunately I find the Traralgon store dissapointing. The toy range is good & prices are as expected...I'd rather support a smaller local business, but the service here lets store down. We go in here quite a bit & feel almost unwelcome. I don't think I've ever been smiled at by a staff member. My last experience was he most dissapointing, the lady who served was not very friendly, I was putting things on lay-by, and had my 2 y/o in my arms, he was getting fidgity & as I was struggling with him & trying to get money out of purse she was looking at me with a "fed up" kinda look...I felt like I was holding her up or something....I almost decided to not do my lay by, but unfortunately they were the only store in town that stocked what I wanted... On the plus they do have a few things the kids can play with in store, Lego table & a train set....
