Accommodation was a lot older and more run down than I had expected. The carpet was old, quite stained and dirty. Buffet breakfast at Niche Cafe was nice - we did have to wait about 10 minutes for a table on a Sunday morning though, and when we got one, it wasn't even that full/busy...? Staff were friendly, however after arriving early, we were told that we would call us when our room was ready to check in to but they didn't. Probably won't go back there again.

Great central location. Our 2 bedroom apartment was a good size, good layout, furnished well, and offered all the facilities we needed. Probably wasn't as clean as it could have been but overall presented relatively good value for money.

Went here recently for dinner with an entertainment book voucher. Was a busy Saturday night and there was a line, however it moved quite quickly and we didn't have to wait too long. Staff were friendly and helpful, and even though it was busy, they were very attentive. The meals were nice, enjoyed the sweet potato chips and pork belly, however the ramen was a little bland. Overall a good experience!

I had an absolutely appalling experience with this business - I can't even comment on their cleaning ability as they never turned up when they were meant too!! Communication was basically non existent - I continually had to try and chase them up and rarely got a response. Won't ever be contacting them again, and would recommend others to not waste their time either...

I was very hesitant of their heavily advertised "2 for 1" glasses, and what extra hidden extras there would be. However, I was pleasantly surprised that it was actually possible to get 2 pairs for the price of 1 without having to pay any extra. The quality of the glasses is as you would expect - you get what you pay for... There are optional extra's that they offer but there was no pressure to have any of these. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Eye tests are bulk-billed and the optometrist was very thorough.

Great way to check out and compare a range of products, and find the best prices at local stores. Site is very easy to use, and always has accurate/current specials.

Since recently re-branding from Safeway to Woolworths, I've (coincidentally?) noticed a markable improvement. Usually only shop here when at Fountain Gate for something else as it is convenient. Products and prices are just like any other supermarket, however I've had 2 recent experiences with lovely younger staff members there! They were both very friendly and chatty, and seemed genuinely interested in me as a customer. It made for a really nice change!

Went here at 12:30pm on a weekday and they had no plain pies!! Weren't very impressed with what we did get - the pies and sausage rolls were average and only just warm.

Stayed here recently and were disappointed with the dirty windows on our "city view" room - could barely view the city through those! The room had very cool black out blinds - it still felt like the middle of the night at 9am in the morning! Overall though, the room was pretty basic and we were definitely expecting something much nicer for the price. Breakfast was easily the highlight of our stay. The buffet breakfast was AMAZING - have never seen anything like it before. Very very impressive. Wouldn't stay here again but would definitely go back for breakfast!

My husband and I shared the Surf and Turf platter for two. At first it didn't look like much there when it came out, but it definitely filled both of us up. Overall it was nice - wasn't super tasty or anything to rave about, but was good to try. Good spot for a quick meal when at the casino.
