I love this little old store. You can get an almost new book for half the price. Exchanging books can be a bit of a hassle though - if you buy a book from here make sure you do not bend the pages at all - if there is a crease in the book whatsoever, they tell you they cannot take the book. There is a lot of choice from this store and I love that it is open on Sundays!

Positives: They let you add your name and email you out a list of the upcoming pets, plenty of parking and free, the service is friendly. Negatives: They would not provide me with the puppy's breeder, merely saying they were from "over east". So overpriced - $1400 for a male schnoodle puppy who had an extra dew claw that would require surgery to get it removed. They are way too relaxed with allowing people to hold the puppies - people ask to hold the pets, the girl was serving me didn't even tell me to wash my hands (people can bring disease especially if they have touched other pets and not washed hands and the puppies have often only had their first vaccination). I have witnessed twice now people bringing in their pets all grown up that they previously bought there. Problem was one of the times, there was a puppy out in the open pen and the person's dog came up to greet the pup nose to nose through the pen fence - I thought this was really poor as the pup had only had it's first vaccination. One of the most disturbing things I found was the pictures out the front of the glass pens. They often display the mother and father if possible on a picture outside the pen. One that particularly caught my eye was one of a pitbull or staffy type dog that looked so run down - she was underweight and the photo had been taken of the dog laying on concrete right next to a cigarette tray bin. The dog did not look healthy at all so I was surprised that they displayed the picture on the pen. The girl had told me that "only once had they been given pups and told they were one breed when they later found out they were a mixture of different breeds!"

Every child needs to visit this candy store! Pleasantly located near the bay, you can take your children for a swim and play in the park then finish off with a visit to the store. They make a lot of things you would not see in your average general store and there is so much option! Best of all, the candy and chocolates taste great!!! There is nothing bad to say about this store - we visit every time we return to Bunbury.

Had a fantastic time down here. 3 bedroom 3 bathroom unit. Pools were fantastic (there were quite a few to choose from) and right on the beach. There was even a very small gym. We took our own food and cooked. The only thing I was not impressed with was that there was a curfew time for noise which I thought was great, however, come 2am and the unit across from us was hanging out over their balcony drunk and playing music, we decided to contact the front desk people for help. They phoned our unit about 1 hour later after they were going to investigate and told us they could not see any noise! I invited them up to our unit so I could show them and let them into my grandmother's room so they could experience the noise however they said they would have another look. We never heard back from them again so the service was not good nor honest service that you would expect from a resort.

Approximate cost: $318 per night (5 adults)

I phoned up this company after I told my father my car light had blown and I was unsure to change it. My father had a look and told me that the radiator needed taking out in order to change the globe!!!! So, me not thinking properly phone Automasters and told them what my dad had quoted. The man asked me what type of car I had and I told him, he then said, "Oh yes, that's correct" and then asked me to drop my car down to them and leave it with them for 2-3 hours (so they could change the globe!!!) The man quoted me the costing around $180 "due to labour". I booked in my car, but did not feel right about it. I then phoned another car servicing place and said the same thing to them and they told me to bring the car in and they would have a look at it. I took my car to the second place where the guy literally grabbed a globe off their shelf, opened the pack, I popped the bonnet of the car, and he stuck his hand near the engine and about 1 minute later it was finished! They only charged me for the globe. I was horrified that automasters were going to happily charge an arm and a leg for something that took less that 5 minutes to fix. I am certain, them being a car place, that they would have known that the radiator does not need removing in order to change a globe! Never again

Approximate cost: $Expensive

The price is the main reason I go here along with big, good looking plants. I bought a big beautiful boganvilia from here not long ago. The plant was about twice the size and cheaper than had I bought it at one of the larger commercial stores. Parking is a breeze - it is better to park across the road though as it is easier to get out if it is busy. Can't believe the price of the plants here and they are home grown with loads of TLC!

Approximate cost: $cheaper than average

Healthy good looking horses, riding instructors who care about safety and that the children have fun, safe and quiet horses, undercover arena for wet days and hot days so lessons can still go ahead as planned, book well ahead as places fill up quickly for prime times eg, after school

The kids love going here. Once you've paid, you need not pay again. There's loads to do for the kids and I liked that they had a separate fenced off area for the younger ones. They also have a sitting area with tables and chairs for the parents so you can keep an eye on your kids. One thing I was disappointed about was that they do not like you taking your own water into the place (they want you to buy it at their cafe) which I found most disappointing, especially since it gets so hot in their in summer.

Approximate cost: $7.50 (for young kids)

This is a gorgeous pet store and they have the utmost respect for the puppies allowing them to run in larger pens than in small glassed cubicles. One of the things though that horrified me was the price! On a good note, if you are looking for a particular breed, then chances are you will find them here. However, be ready to pull out the credit card because they are not cheap! The pups look very healthy and you can get a lot of dog clothes and items for your pooch - again, make sure you have enough in the bank! I would only recommend to someone who was well off or someone who was adamant about getting a particular breed of dog that can't be found any where else at the time.

Approximate cost: $2000

One of my favourite places to eat. You often have to book especially on weekends in peak hour because it gets busy! They are very friendly, very willing to please, and the food is the best Chinese I have had to date. They take a while to bring your food out but it is well worth the wait. They also have a children's menu available and high chairs for the little ones. I love the way they fold their napkins into origami!
