You do get what you pay for! Young bunch, all very skilled with hair, if you want the man himself be prepared to pay, he is definitely wonderful at transforming hair, i could not afford to go every 6 weeks though. The rest of the team is also fabulous & a little more affordable. Booking essential, great as a gift idea as a treat...you do feel great after wards.

Approximate cost: $200

Cut wash & blow dry $25, in & out very fast. Best make an appointment otherwise its first in first served. Not much English is spoken but if you take a picture & explain what you want they understand. Like most hair dressers, they don't spend much time giving you a hard scrub so if your hair is oily or very dirty i would wash it also before you go.

A very sweet place, unique with hundreds of tea pots decorating the inside of the house, alot to see, very cosy. Bookings are essential on busy times of the year & weekends, you can buy any tea post you see. By the time your done looking around all the bits & pieces for sale you can sit down to a nice cup of tea & warm scones, i love the hug cups of jam & cream! hey offer high tea as well which comes out on its own trolley with the english flag on it.

A simpler style old pub, great place to stop & have a steak. Very reasonable pricing & you can buy your bottle of wine from the bottle shop at this hotel & take it in to the dining area to eat with your meal, no other hotel i know lets you do this. The menu has a good variety, steaks, pasta, soup of the day, home made pies, sunday roast & kids menu etc. If your driving to the Blue Mountains check it out.

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for La Sangria, Surry Hills NSW

I love this place, yummy food. The owner is from Madrid so you know what your eating has traditional flavours, very tasty & well priced. The Sangria is a must, and the Paella is also delicious. Being tapas you can enjoy a large variety of dishes & you must end it off with the churros, a spanish donut served with thick rich hot chocolate!

Approximate cost: $15

BEST RICOTTA canoli ever! Original traditional & always good taste & value, no imitations here. Love the old style simple shop, not modern & over the top, just enjoy the smell while getting your fresh pastries & cakes!

This review is for T2 Tea, North Ryde NSW

A gorgeous shop with the T2 tea house opposite it, very practical. I love the variety of tea's & also the summer chill selection. I gave overseas visitors the Australia selection which they thought was very unique & souvenir east it did not say "made in china" as it was a souveneir. Very dangerous little cakes & sweets too...

I don't think it lives up to all the hype. Food was ok but nothing amazingly unique, over priced & could the staff perhaps not make the same mistake 3 times. Had a glass of scotch refilled with water. They had to replace it over & over again....
