This is a small business run by a mother and daughter team. They create the most beautiful hand made greeting cards at unbelievable prices and hand knit clothing for babies, children and dolls. They are at Niagara Park markets on the second Saturday of each month where you can buy items from stock or you can plkace an order either at the martkets or by telephone. Outstanding quality and service.

We first went there because it is such a quaint little building right on the beach at Avoca. We were pleasantly surprised with the comfort level, far better than some of the big theaters. You can get a glass of wine in summer or a cup of coffee in winter and take it in with you. Overall it is a thoroughly enjoyable experience. We have been back many times since.

This place is too big with not enough staff, however when you do eventually find someone they are quite knowledgeable and helpful. Some of the plants look like they need a bit of TLC. The quality is not the best but the prices are very cheap and anything we have bought has blossomed well.

I get my hair done here because they can always fit me in. They are not "precious" like some salons are. The staff are friendly and helpful. I have never come away without loving my hair. I had my hair cut styled and straightened for my school reunion and everyone commented on how good it looked.

Approximate cost: $70

This is a very reasonably priced restaurant. The food is always delicious and the servings are generous. Service is always quick and with a smile, the waitresses are very friendly. It is BYO and you can phone in for takeaway or home delivery. We go here often as it is quick, cheap and delicious.

This place serves the best fish and chips on the Central Coast. Due to its popularity it is usually busy and you do sometimes have to wait a while. The food and location are tops.

Al way have a good selection of fresh produce along with a well stocked deli section. Service is quick and always with a smile.

This is the store for anyone who needs a little Christmas spirit. You cannot go in there and not feel like a kid. It is a magical place that really knows how to bring Christmas alive. The prices are a little dearer than the department stores but the variety and quality along with the experience more than make up for that.

At last a local french restaurant that taste authentic. The food is exquisite, the servings are generous and the service is flawless. A little pricey but we go there for special occasions and are never disappointed.

I always have my Prius serviced there. The staff are friendly and helpful, (even when I forgot to pick it up and caused the receptionist to stay back late.) The rates are very reasonable and I can always get it booked in at a convenient day and time for me. Highly recommended
