I purchased an INverter Panasonic Microwave oven here a week ago. This is my second purchase and I am not disappointed over the year that one item has been in my possession. This is an authorized refurbishment business. I saw it on ebay but have since just gone into the store to look and buy. I went to a big store and the price for the same item was double. The warranty the same for both. I am into quality as a priority for any item. Price is secondary to me. Service is of enormous importance as I will take a walk if service is not there no matter how cheap the product. These people are not talkers just wanting to dispose of goods in the SONY AND PANASONIC realm and a few other subsiduary 's of these companies and the items are top notch. This company has a highly rated stamp from ebay but my personal experience is that the goods are as good as you can get. A and B grade goods, B, being possibly cosmetically slightly damaged but A grade might be a box not looking too good. I could easily give wedding gifts from this shop at a great price and also park right out front and get helpful service for my knees in bringing the items to my car

Did this last sat. Only held on third and fifth sat of the month. 9am till 3pm on Uniting church grounds. Busy place. Variety of food stuffs, jewellery, second hand stalls, gardening , books. I found a delightful handbag almost new for $28 with a brand name. Food was not what I would call super duper but it catered for wide variety, prices over all were reasonable. ON a good day this is a nice place for an hour before a coffee or tea in town. Depends on your interest but definitely for the potterers looking for a bargain or just an interesting bit of craft. Not a foodies delight but food available is good.

This couple have a superb setting for their business. There are a few rooms which are nicely separated. Sitting on a hill overlooking a small lot of garden landscaped paths, I was delighted to sit on a small verandah outside my beautifully kept room. Absolute top notch attendance to detail and presentation, food was beautifully done for breakfast and privacy assured unless you needed your hosts. Worth leaving Hobart to find this place, A country property warm inviting so clean only problem being a little small but it did not dent my enjoyment and desire to come back. I could roam at will around the property as walks gave you vistas of splendour.

Approximate cost: $150 +

I spotted this company on ebay but then drove out to see for myself an outdoor chair which I wanted as a gift to my daughter to put her feet up on in the sun. Over the phone they gave me a good price and upon greeting me, showed me all the options. I found the personal service exceptional and the range they carry far greater than most stores when it comes to camping goods and fishing gear. I am not an expert and I have found since that the price I paid for this Hayman chair had gone down a bit but their discount card and bargaining allowance made for a very pleasant experience after travelling for an hour to get there. All went into my car at their hands and I felt confident that I could ring and get an honest appraisal of my needs in the future. Good aussie company which I am pleased to support. On line on amazonoutdoors.com.au.- Many other camping stores have only certain brands but this store had a wider range to choose from. Good parking and staff who knew their products in my case.

I wish this place could be world renowned. The views are spectacular. I was taken for my delayed 60th and what a disappointment for the 3 of us. We had a sat lunch booking so we could enjoy the beautiful day. I found the furnishing old, the food 3 star at best mainly done by less than able cooks who gave a budget buffett. Seafood was the most disappointing. If you looked at the floor particularly the steps they were dirty. Our service by a south american lady was second to none upon greeting us. I will not recommend this place and hope sincerely that someone with class gets a hold of the lease and gives it the name it deserves. In saying this, I am saying that the view was worth the $50 just to gaze but the food and ambience inside left a lot to be desired while not being so poor that you could not eat.

Again, a business that has stood the test of time. Good turnover. Lots of different pieces cut up for you. I got kg of wings this morning for $2.99 kg. Peters meats close by had them for $1.99 kg but I would prefer strong turnover to insure freshness. I am about to go organic and this store has very few choices in that area. Also they have a hot cooked section which does a good trade in cooked chicken and pieces and chicken hand foods. Always a special but like it because of its freshness mainly. I buy two small chickens for baking at $9 for both which is just over 2kg of chicken and find them good value. Cash only, no cards.

Large spring rolls, $2.70 minimal mince good flavour mostly cabbage but freshly made on premises. Small fried rice, $5.40 to large $7.80. Good flavour, not too oily, fresh with small prawns pork egg carrot in small amounts. This place has been there for a long time. It keeps fresh and does not taste like carb soda has taken all the flavour out of things. YOu can ask for what you wish and they mostly will oblige. Mixed normal eg; sweet and sour pork with rice small to large, $7.50 upwards. Not gourmet but much better than most take aways. Stood the test of time and the public speaks very loud on food.

Went in for a coffee and a lunch bite but found the place a bit pricey for just the sandwich or burger I desired. It is inner city come to the burbs and the clientelle was noisy as if they owned the place at the time I went in. Modern, well presented but a little too professional in service rather than warm in my opinion. It is new and no doubt trialling itself in the climate it is in. Well positioned away from main drag but lots of smokers with language did not impress but can say the food was very well presented. Open door larger style design so if cold you hide close to the serving area which can make the going a bit rough. Worth a look if you are willing to put out a few pennies

Approximate cost: $18 burger sit down

Down that way on sat last. Have frequented this store for mainly mens country clothing for years. All the well known lasting brands here. They do carry a range of womens wear in brands also. No junk and if you know what you want in Driza Bone and need sizing then this business has all the experience necesary. They have included these days some giftware also with good taste in such. They also have a store in MOss Vale and I can only say that the staff are well versed in their product knowledge and stand by their service and product. Prices when a sale is on are grat for such quality but I like the fact you can ask a question about a fabric and its durability and wash factor and somebody knows what they are talking about.

This business has been around a long time. Seem to supply other brands. This is the factory shop and a small array of goods is available. They are hand made but flavours seem to need a bit of up dating in my opinion. Small variety and prices that are only so so. Seconds available but if you want a special bit and are in this area then they can make it look good

Approximate cost: $2 upwards
