This review is for Aloha Lane Apartments, Main Beach QLD

Booked this through wotif.com for $99 per night which is a fairly good price for what it is - a 3* apartment on the Gold Coast. Just a couple of streets from the beach, and not far from a bus stop. Perhaps its best point is it's close to seaworld's bus service, to save you $$$ you can just jump on a public bus and be there in a few minutes. Nice room, 2 bdrms/2 bathrooms. Heated pool not so warm but ok if it's not cold

Approximate cost: $100

These guys have a huge selection of seafood to try - like the fish/chips/salad for $9.95, huge piece of fish included, or the calamari that is MASSIVE! Went here on holidays and would definitely go back again. Quick service and a friendly smile that doesn't always come from a shop in a food court.

A great range of fruit at often great prices - and a nice selection of fruit juice/cordial at good prices too. A fair place to shop as far as greengrocers go.

A massive plate of meat and sides for $12, you don't get much better than this. Enough to feed 2 grown men. Great place, albeit not a huge dining area.

Having lived in Indonesia for 10 years, when I found this place I knew I'd found somewhere as authentic as they come. The food is genuine Indonesian - you know this too because there's always Indonesians eating there! Tasty and fairly good value for money too.

Approximate cost: $10

They're a cafe with an Indonesian restaurant type place inside. The cafe stuff is nice and well priced - especially their iced coffees which are to die for! The Indonesian (mainly just available at meal times) is authentic and tasty with a good variety.

Approximate cost: $10

Agree with the other rating - food is ok, but just a little place with a few tables. Price is about on par with what you'd expect but nothing special. Very friendly staff & did knock $1 off the price.

Have eaten at 2 italian restaurants in the last week & this one was by far the better. Boscaio (?spelling!) pasta was really nice and the pizza good. Kid's meals would have seemed a bit pricey but they had a special from online where kids meals were free if you came before 6, were happy to honour this (though had to be re-reminded when the bill came).

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for K's Drycleaning, Burwood NSW

After an expensive experience elsewhere I tried these guys for a special order dryclean (a santa suit) and they were great, did it for me overnight and did a fine job, cheap but not nasty. They also do tailoring etc & based on my experience with them I'd trust them with that.

I had a specific item (actually a Santa suit) that needed special dry cleaning. Yes, they were able to do it but the cost was a good $10 more than other friends with the same item were paying elsewhere. What's more, the opening hours were just average - to finish work and get it there the same day was almost impossible.
