I joined rewards central a few weeks ago and have found it great so far. The rewards for surveys are usually pretty good compared with others, and the extra points for surveys etc are also a nice touch.

A great place to go and have a coffee and browse through some books, as they have a really great range. Prices are probably a bit more expensive than online, but it's worth paying a little more as its a nice outing. The playground for the kids is also a nice touch.

The prices at the book depository are always fantastic, and I love how they all include free shipping to Australia. The shipping times are a little slow though, it can take up to 2 weeks for a book to arrive, but hey, it's cheap!

Delicious bread, and really tasty pies! The toasted sandwich we got wasn't the best, but all the other things were really great. Yummy!

We got some take aways from this cute little cafe. The food was really tasty and fresh, and there were heaps of tasty looking and unique foods to try. The toasted beef foccacia and ham and cheese toasties (for the kids) were lovely, and the pork and apple sausage roll with home made chutney was delicious! Coffee wasn't really that great, a little bit warm so had to ask for it to be heated up, but apart from that, it was all great. I'd definitely go back.

We went here for a family dinner and it was fantastic. The food was fresh and tasty, and it was very reasonably priced too. The decor and setting were also really nice, making for a great family night out. Will definitely be back!

I ordered the chicken tenderloin salad, but received a pile of fatty thigh instead which was pretty disappointing. When I told them about it, they didn't really do anything about it, just saying they had run out of tenderloin. I would have preferred to know this when I was placing my order though, as I would have chosen something else. The other meals ordered by my friends were okay, but not that great, especially for the price. Probably wouldn't go there again.

Great food and service in a really nice modern setting. Steak sandwiches are awesome! Fairly expensive, but nice for a treat.

We went here for lunch after seeing a sign out the front saying, '$1 kids fish and chips', but were disappointed to be told after we sat down that it was only for dinner, not lunch. The kids meals were $10-11 each, and were very small serves so that the kids were still hungry afterwards. The mains were great though, and good value at $15 each. The adult meals were really tasty, fresh and different. Great service and friendly staff. I would probably go there again, but would go at dinner to make it better value.

Approximate cost: $15

The service here was great, very attentive. The food was fine, not spectacular, but good though. The coffee was delicious and it is a great setting to sit for a coffee with friends.
