I love this place - the food is a little different to mainstream, and is just beautiful. The nursery is gorgeous to and my two little one's love it when we go there because there is so much to look at (although I have to keep them tightly restrained in the gift shop!!) The gift shop has some amazingly beautiful and original things - I think that most of it is local produce and artists etc, but it is very pricey too. We like to sit outside for brunch on a sunny day.

The most beautiful surroundings for a lazy and sunny afternoon - be sure to book a table on the balcony though, we missed out for lack of fore-thought. You have to walk across a bridge over a river to get to the cafe and it's just beautiful. Don't know what the main meals are like, we just did coffee and faccacias, but what we had was really good.

We took our baby here for professional photo's when she was aroung 9 months old. We had one of those free sitting and portrait vouchers. The service was fine, although the girl behind the camera seemed a little like she couldn't be bothered. The photo's were gorgeous, but you have to chose the free portrait when they do the sitting, so you have no idea what it looks like - and when we went in to view and purchase the pics, the only one that wasn't great was the free one (in fact it was awful, I would never hang it up!), I had to wonder if they intentionally make the freeby yuck so that you still buy the package. What's more, the package was really expensive, and even if you only want to buy a couple it was still outrageous. I'd probably give them one more try, but only when I seriously am ready to buy photo's, and only with a free sitting voucher, I wouldn't pay for it. I guess I went in because of the lure of a free portrait and was thus very disappointed. There wasn't any real pressure to buy.

The best Scrapbooking shop I have ever visited (and I've seen a few!!) They by far have the biggest range and heaps of great display stuff for ideas. If they don't have it it probably doesn't exist. I haven't been to the classes they hold yet, but they sound good.

This review is for Stanley Innes Chiropractic, Lilydale VIC

My family started seeing Stanley about 5 years ago after multiple recommendations from various people. He is the most gentle and experiened chiro - I have even taken my baby and toddler for check ups. Stan is honest, reliable and trustworthy. He has never tried to keep us coming for regular visits, which we have experienced elsewhere.
