The service at this day spa is fantastic, the offer of services available are amazing and cater to both male and female. I particularly enjoy the pedicure and manicure treatment rooms where you can watch a movie whilst enjoying a foot scrub.

This is a great bakery located in a small shopping centre. Whilst not vegan they do offer vegan donuts and kransky's as I am always on the look out for vegan lunch spots to catch up with friends who are vegan. Their pasties, pies, mini baked cheesecakes and Danish pastries are delicious. Modern bakery with a bit of fun!

They make the best lobster tails which are these amazing pastry cones filled with a delicious custard. Not a common item on the continental cake shops. They also specialise in other Italian continental cakes and biscotti and make special occasion cakes.

Great hairdressers. Stephanie and Jiluannw are very good at what they do, well priced, friendly and quick service. Just starting out on their own so recommend giving them a go.

Visited this restaurant as part of date night and we loved the decor, just like Nonna's place with the mismatched old plates and glasses. Ate outside as warm night, beautiful atmosphere, candles. Service was amazingly prompt and very friendly to the point of removing a bug from my glass of wine. Dishes on smaller side but this was good as left feeling content and not over full.

We stumbled across Forge Pizzeria through our iPhone Siri recommendation, well done Siri!! We loved it and have been recommending it to others who might be going to Ballarat. The pizza's tasted delicious, the stuffed squid was superb and the kids ate and had a great time after colouring in etc in the kids corner. Bathrooms were modern and very clean, felt comfortable.

Very rude waiting staff. Cleaned my own table, went to order coffee's in meantime husband told we had to move as ordered burgers from other shop, went back to find husband in different spot. They would not let us take coffee out of their space even if we brought cups back, waitress placed our order on table and said you have to sit here and have it. Hence just left it behind after display of attitude, no refund, no offer to place in takeaway cups. Nothing. Waste of time and money. Recommend Brunetti corner of Collins & Swanston St instead.

The Franchisee of this mobile cleaning service for Bizzi Beez is very thorough, affordable and trustworthy. They were more than willing to use my cleaning cloths as I am a bit of a germ phobia and flexible to change scheduled cleaning days to the day prior to having a home party.

Approximate cost: $60.00

I love to visit this store as well as the one on James Place in Adelaide City to just have a look around and have that little kid feeling of excitement for lollies. The experience of the store is great with lots of different and unusual lollies eg they have the big colourful lollie pops, marshmallow handbags etc which I have used for bridal showers.
