The German Arms is probably my favourite German restaurant ever.

Huge on atmosphere with massive dining room, mezzanine floor, balcony and street tables.

Favourite lunch - The Arms Giant Hot Dog! (they mean giant, we just share one of these for two people)

Favourite dinner - Rindsrouladen Aged Beef

With a schnapps and a huge tap drawn Lowenbrau Original, fabulous!

Highly recommend trying this place, atmosphere, service and price - spot on!

Approximate cost: $18

This is a lovely place to visit for the foodies delights! Delicious lunches, cheese samplings and wonderful people.

They showcase their own cheeses along with other fresh local produce. Truly inspiring, great service, very friendly, children's menu. Very worth visiting. Pricing refreshingly good value for money.

Approximate cost: $12

Wow experience. Went here with a work colleague and had a great time. Had the best cocktail ever from the bar, cannot remember the name, but it was exquisite.

We felt very comfortable here and when we were ushered to our table we ordered the Chef's 3 course dinner. The food was beautifully presented, the wait person explained exactly what was in each dish and we were very happy.

I loved this dining experience and it was just the place for a wind down after a busy work week.

Highly recommended, worth every penny. No rush or pressure the restaurant is geared for enjoyment. My mouth waters when I remember my evening at Joseph's.

Traditional Bed and Breakfast Sydney inner east with 2 queen rooms available in a delightful heritage terrace home.

I consider it to have been a privilege to stay at Kathryn's wonderful B&B. What a great experience!

Travelling on business, it was such a welcome relief to arrive at this tiny sanctuary and find clean, luxury accommodation with a host who looked after us like a special Aunt!

I had a room on the middle level of the terrace house that had it's own little balcony overlooking Queen Street with my own private bathroom down a few steps. My business partner was shown to the attic room, which had it's own small ensuite and a view over the Sydney rooftops to Sydney Harbour Bridge!.

Cannot speak highly enough of this accommodation and the level of quality and service. We had a massive breakfast laid out on the dining room table in the morning and it was wholesome and delicious with yoghurt, cereal, coffee fruit platter AND wonderful old time freshly poached fruit. Then we were asked how we would like our eggs! Great start to the day.

The rooms are divine with antique furnishings and special luxury extras like robes, fluffy towels, fresh flowers and quality toiletries.

Kathryn appears to be a very busy woman and we were told to make ourselves at home, which we did. Even used the front lounge room to re-sort our baggage as we were on a long trip.

Had to chance to explore the area and it was incredible. I had never been in Woollahra or Paddington areas before and found so much to do and see on foot. We walked out to dinner down the street, I went shopping in the backstreet and found excellent boutique designer shops. The bus to Sydney was out the door and we almost walked all the way to the city centre it is that well located.

Very exclusive luxury accommodation, it is quite hard to get a booking! I will be back to this Sydney bed and breakfast again. Loved it!

Now here is a great little Aussie country pub. It is what you could expect, with beer garden, bar and bistro. A favourite with the locals serving quite good pub grub.

I like the atmosphere here, you are made to feel welcome. Meals can be expensive but they work out to be pretty good size and value wise. Family friendly with high chairs and kids meals.

Have eaten here a few times. Think the place has undergone management changes and folks tell me things are improved over past years.

Anyway, I have been happy with my visits here, fills the spot!

I really like dining here. Very good service and authentic presentation and curries. The servings are not huge but the flavour balance is!

First time I tried it I took my son and we were very pleasantly surprised as we were thinking it might be quite westernised.

A friendly restaurant that provides a pleasant dining experience in the Western suburbs. Recommend you book although it isn't necessary.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this Medical Centre. Very friendly, usually not a long wait with an appointment.

For urgent attention you can just go in and one of the doctors will see you.

Bulk billing available. Great family doctors.

I saw Dr John Fotakis for about 6 years when living in Hoppers and I cannot recommend him enough. Fabulous, patient man who really listens and recommends best cause of action for myself and family members.

This is an excellent family medical centre. The doctors are thorough and easy to talk too. I don't go to doctor much and so it is really nice to have a local who you can trust when needed.

Bulk billing and good networking for specialist referrals.

Don't usually have to wait long when an appointment is made.

Palmwoods Hotel is a great place to go for a meal. Typical Queenslander pub with huge indoor outdoor areas. Lots of places to choose from to sit depending on your mood.

The menu is great and there is always a specials board. They also have different menu style nights which are surprisingly good. Like middle eastern that is very genuine.

Lamb shanks and port belly are another menu items we enjoy. The menu is so diverse that everyone is always happy here.

Very child friendly. The service is fabulous and it's just an all round great place to go - you are made to feel welcome.

Recommended!

Luxury accommodation in self contained spa cottages on a large farm. Beautiful gardens and amazing views.

Love staying at this place. There a 4 cottages and I have stayed in the oldest two and just loved it.

Both cottages have been really comfortable and welcoming. They are self catering but I recommend the deluxe package which has an enormous range of fresh local produce for breakfast and fabulous afternoon tea and other luxury items included. Like: Spa and beauty products you can try out in the spa baths!

Beds are really comfortable and the linen is luxuriously warm and light. There are wood fires in all cottages which creates a wonderful cosiness on cooler country nights.

There are two other cottages that are designed for couples and I had a peek in them...absolutely wonderful, new, clean and spacious.

The property as chooks which you can feed from compost bins provided and the gardens are breathtaking. There are all sorts of flower beds, little property walks, orchards, veggie patches and herbs you can pick and eat.

The hosts here are really interesting people and helpful with local knowledge and arranging and extras you want. I haven't tried any of the massage and day spa treatments as yet but will do so next time I return.

Cost is a little high but that is not a great factor because the place is like a retreat to just getaway from it all and just relax. It is very renewing, just being there. They have a lot of packages on their website to choose from.

Recommended for sole travel (very safe and friendly), couples or groups. The two older cottages are two bedroom with some flexibility for others.

I was impressed that they sort of think of everything you need and I found I didn't even have to worry about buying food the first night - their were gourmet curries (so yum) we ate!

Kangaroo Valley is a great place to visit with lots of incredibly scenic drives, a quaint little village with restaurants and thinks to look at etc. It is also close to Berry which is one of my favourite places in South Coast Sydney. So you are remote, but close to everything.

Well worth the trip to this one! And family friendly too!!
