I love this place. It's a favourite for sure. Great for a date night with hubby or a coffee with the girls. It's a little pricey but worth it if you want to indulge. I highly recommend the white chocolate chai! Yum! And the waffles! Hubby also enjoys the crunchy pizza! (Think a thin pizza base covered with melted chocolate, marshmallows and cornflakes!) never had a issue with service or cleanliness.

This is one of our favourite play centres. Have been going here since dd was 6mths (now 2.5) there's lots of space for them to run and burn energy. Plenty of safe play equipment. I like being able to have a coffee and know my daughter is in a safe play environment and won't get barrelled over by big kids. Deffinelty worth a visit.

This is a good playcentre for younger kids. It's not too big and its pretty clean. The food is good and there's a little and big kids play area though the "big" kids area is prob only suitable to 10yrs. Which is fine for us as we have 2.5yr old who can take advantage of both areas. It's nice and bright in there too which is great as alot of play centres are quite dark and hot.

We have took our 2.5yr old here a few times. During the week in school hours is best cause its nice and quiet. She likes the little kids play area well enough. The bikes and jumping castle are good. However she LOVES us taking her up on the big slides. The food is ok and the prices and staff are good here. I also find it clean which is good. Worth a visit. Particularly if you have older kids!

This is SUCH a beautiful little store. So colourful and so many wonderful wooden and natural toys! I went here with my father who splurged on a gorgeous set of Grimms blocks for my daughter and they are just so lovely! Its not near by for us but they have a online store - though i do think its worth the drive! So many wonderful toys to marvel over. Be warned though like any quality wooden toy you pay for what you get.

We took our 2.5 yr old here the other day. It was quiet and it was just us in the store. My daughter enjoyed the experience. perhaps a little bit young for it but it was cheaper then expected and a fun little activity for my family. Will consider a party for next year for her.

This is one of my favourite places to go for steiner toys and crafts. A lovely small store with a mixture of handmade and mass produced products. Reasonably priced and good service. You cant leave here without buying something!

I have purchased a couple of these nappies in the past and although they are fine and do as described i have found the customer service to be a little lacking. The fit is ok but nothing special and they dont have any stand out feature that would make me say to a friend "you MUST buy them". They are australian and hand made though and thats always a good thing especially for those of you who are conscious about supporting small local business.

I was given one of these when my daughter was little but sold it without even using it on her as it seemed way to bulky. As a toddler these were recommended to me so i thought i would give them another try. I just LOVE THEM. wonderful fitting nappies with fantastic absorbency. I will say that i bought 2 lots second hand and both i had the elastics break soon after purchase so i did wonder if they dont wear well long term and i have not purchased any second hand since - however i have been using some i bought new for a few months now with no problems and i recommend them to everyone.

We went here recently after going for a drive randomly one night looking for a bite to eat. The bistro area was quite nice, not very fancy but its a small rsl so thats to be expected and the meals were huge and great value for money. The children play area was also a nice feature and our daughter was able to play safety while we ate. Would go here again.
