My child has attended swim classes here for some time. The facilities are great with a wave pool, toddler pools, shallow learn to swim pools and a lap pool. There's a gym, creche, spa and sauna too, but I have not used those facilities yet. The change rooms are ordinary and usually crowded when I attend, but are adequate. I've found the swim classes OK, but are a little impersonal. The teachers are under great pressure to get them in and out within the half hour, so the next class in not running late. There are 4 kids to 1 teacher. That might be standard to all swim schools (not sure). I wish it were 3 kids to 1 teacher. I continue there mainly due to the great value of being able to swim after wards with my son in the wave pool etc.

Very good website, easy to navigate, search and order online. I found them to be extremely competitively priced. I replaced my old washing machine. They took my old machine away at no cost and installed my new one in a jiffy. I did have a bit of a service hiccup however. I never received the promised phone call in the morning to advise of expected delivery. When I finally phoned them I was told a time. At that designated time I got another call saying another later time. It did get delivered but I wasted my day waiting around. I would however still order again and assume this was a one-off service failure.

I dined here with 4 adults and 5 kids aged 2 to 10. They open for dinner early for families at 5pm. Great concept! The pizzas were great and we loved the salads too, though we didn't really need them (we got talked into them). The service left a bit to be desired. We had to wait a long time for pizzas and then again for dessert. One pizza never turned up. It was noisy and chaotic but this made it a good atmosphere. I guess top notch service is a tad difficult when you have a restaurant full of kids! I was still happy with the dining experience though.

Approximate cost: $20

I've dined here twice so far (with babies/toddlers) at lunchtime and will do so again. The food is excellent and the service top notch. They provided Ikea high chairs for the toddlers. LOVE LOVE LOVE restaurants/cafe's that do that. The kids meals were the best I have seen - colourful, creative and not too large. We spent about $50 a head (glass of wine, a side, main meal) but if you can get a light lunch only for about $15!

Approximate cost: $30

I use this gym specifically for the pool - 25m. I swim in the morning but after the work crowd. I usually get a lane to myself (which is great as I swim pretty slowly!....am pregnant). The change room facilities are really good, the usual plus hairdryers, iron. Always clean. There is a great cafe overlooking the pool too.
