We bought most of our baby furniture here and were extremely impressed with the price - they were the cheapest by far and we shopped around. They have an extensive range and there is nothing you can't find for baby in this massive store. The only downside is the staff - I placed an order on something that was meant to come in by the end of the week and didn't hear from them for over 3 weeks. I had to chase them up on numerous occasions as no-one seemed to know what was going on with my order!!! There seems to be a lack of communication between the staff as I then received 4 phonecalls in one day to notify that my order had finally arrived!!! Still - they are the cheapest baby furniture suppliers around so I guess you can't have it all.

This is the perfect place for coffee and cake. The quality of the food here is fantastic and everything seems so fresh. Their range of cakes, muffins etc is great and the coffee is perfect (especially if you're fussy with coffee like me). One of the great things about this cafe is that it is located right next to a small kids playground, so you can enjoy a coffee while the kids play and you can watch them from the cafe.

Admittedly I'm not a gardener so I don't come here for the nursery but have had coffee/breakkie/lunch at the cafe several times. I like that you have the option of either sitting outside on a nice day (and bringing the pooch along) or sitting inside on the cooler days which is really cosy. The food is great and so is the service/staff. As for the gift shop inside - it has some great ideas for gifts and homewares but is extremely expensive. They have a great range of greeting cards which are a little different/unique from what you would get in a newsagents.

My husband and I went here on a Friday night and had to wait about 10 minutes for a table as we hadn't booked so probably best to book in advance. It was worth the wait because the food was so yum. It was warm and inviting and the service was exceptional. The manager came and asked if I wanted a cushion to sit on (I'm heavily pregnant) and tried to make me comfortable even though they were busy. The food took quite a while to come out but we didn't mind because the ambience was so lovely and the food was delicious, it was worth waiting for.

Approximate cost: $20

The name says it all. My husband and I ate here for dinner a couple of weeks ago and it was so warm and cosy. The food was excellent and the service was spot on. Ensure that you sit in the front area of the restaurant rather than their adjoining room which is where we were put initially before asking to be moved. This room was too bright and loud! I'm not sure why they put us there instead of the main front area but it was worth moving. A really lovely warm place.

Approximate cost: $25

This review is for Thai Beach Cafe, Seaford VIC

This is the best Thai food I have had. The menu is extensive and is great value for money. I love eating in but it is usually too busy and take away is the best option. The food is absolutely delicious and so fresh and I know so many people who travel to get their take away from there. It is well worth it.

Approximate cost: $13

My work colleagues took me here Friday afternoon for lunch for my send off. There were about 12 of us. Our waitress was completely hopeless. She couldn't get the orders right and kept coming out to double check with people what they had ordered. The food took forever to come out and then when it did, myself and another colleague didn't get a meal at all. Apparently our waitress didn't put our orders through even though I saw her write them down. So by the time we got our meals everyone else was finished. VERY annoyed - especially given it was my send off!!! All they offered me was a free drink!!! The food was average, very oily and over priced!!!! Would NEVER go back.

This is by far the best Indian Restaurant I have been to. The restaurant is very basic but the quality of the food is fantastic. It's a nice family restaurant which is good value for money.

This is a florist/gift/book shop. The owner is friendly and helpful and her prices are very competitive. In particular her flowers are top quality and always so fresh. Her arrangements are beautiful and great value for money.

In particular I am rating the Beauty Room. The therapists are so friendly and down to earth and all provide a great service. I have never had a problem with any of the treatments I have had. The best thing about it is the convenience of the location and that usually I can just pop in without making a booking and also the pricing of their treatments eg an eyebrow wax only costs $7 where at other places you would be expected to pay at least double of that!
