We were recommended this place by a friend when we first moved to the area and have been going here ever since! The food is always divine (their 'burgers with the lot' are to die for!), the prices are really good and the service is great. I particularly love that they stock one of my favourite soft drinks - L & P - which is a drink from NZ and not exactly easy to come by!

Approximate cost: $Varies

Friends and I have been going to the Redcliffe Coffee Club for years now. It used to be our regular catch up place for Sunday morning brunch. Over the years, their service has remained the same - very good - and we always enjoy the food. Added to this, the location is second to none - directly across the road from the water of Moreton Bay and the Redcliffe Jetty.

Approximate cost: $18-25

I'd previously been to the SpecSavers at North Lakes (also fantastic) but decided to try Kippa-Ring as they were much closer to home. The service I received was absolutely brilliant! The optometrist was very thorough and answered all of my questions (including thoughts on lasik surgery) and Tracey, the assistant who helped me pick out the frames I wanted, was amazing - unbelievably helpful and very friendly. The price of the glasses was expensive but as I wanted rimless titanium 'frames', this was to be expected (though I managed to get half of that back from my health fund). Their other frames are VERY decently priced though, especially considering it's a '2 for the price of 1' deal. I would most definitely return!

Approximate cost: $500

I'd heard about the MediPedi that Body Bliss offered and decided to give it a shot. I was absolutely blown away!! The MediPedi got rid of all the dead skin on my feet (considering I'd just had a cast removed after 8 weeks, there was a LOT of dead skin!) leaving my feet soft and smooth as a baby's bottom. Totally unreal. I also had a spa pedi and gel toes to go with it - I left feeling very impressed and knowing I'll return again.

Approximate cost: $150

I've used WashWorx probably half a dozen times since I moved to the area just over a year ago and every time they have been AMAZING. The service left my car looking fabulous every time (regardless of which service I went with, whether it was a basic wash or a full detail) and at a really affordable price! As well as that, they have a beaut little cafe (with comfy couches!) where you can wait while your car is done. For the environmentally conscious, they use rainwater/recycled water and do 100% hand wash & hand dry, which is what attracted me to them in the first place.

Approximate cost: $Starts from $19
