I've had two fillings replaced in the past 2 years and both times I didn't feel a thing. The appoints ran on time to the minute so all in all I've found this dental surgery helps me make the best of a bad situation.

A lovely little cake shop/deli combination. Great for adults to enjoy a cup of coffee but equally good for children. I love their mini-cakes as they are a perfect size for children (and me too when I have a hot chocolate and can't then stomach an adult sized cake or slice). Personal service and quality food. Yum!

A group of my girlfriends meet here every month for a catch up and I can't think of a better place. It looks good, it has an extensive wine list, and the snacks are superb. The spring rolls and breads and dips are so yummy. Highly recommended.

This store is huge and about to become much bigger. It has everything that your baby could ever need (and much much more). I found this to be the best baby store for advice. All of the staff know what they are talking about. Look out for specials to make products a little more affordable.

If I didn't have a young baby I'd be a regular diner. The teppanyaki grill is fun and very satisfying. The food is excellent and compares well with restaurants in Japan. I certainly can't afford to dine here on a regular basis, but as a fun night out with friends it is hard to beat.

Approximate cost: $50.00

Even when this place is busy they somehow manage to have your burger ready in quick time. Very tasty, and very filling. Don't order extras like chips unless you are super hungry! A good range of kids meals round out the menu.

Approximate cost: $10.00

This is a fantastic place for quality treats, and gourmet provisions (as the name implies). If you have a budget then this is the place for a special treat. If quality matters more than your budget then you will find no end of lovely fresh food - both sweet and savoury. A quaint little store that looks good and never fails to deliver. Express parking at the door adds to the convenience.

I stood in a queue for ages to order my food. The food arrived fairly promptly but wasn't anything fantastic. Pub food at fine dining prices. Disappointing.

Approximate cost: $25.00

This was the cheapest place for a car seat and cot mattress. Do your research though - in both cases the internet advertised 'sale' price wasn't displayed at the store, but they did match it. Great service on the car seat, mediocre service on the cot mattress, and poor service when I looked for a pram (the sales assistant couldn't tell me how to fold the prams up, how much they weighed, etc so I decided that I was better off paying full price at a store that could give good advice).

This is excellent food at typical Japanese prices. The Bento box at lunch is superb value if you are looking for a quality culinary experience. The service is superb and I just can't get enough of the Salmon Teriyaki Bento Box. A special treat.

Approximate cost: $24.00
