Great for custom-made couches

Great for custom-made couches

I bought a black leather (faux) couch and ottoman here. I'd seen one in the shop but wanted mine a bit different and they were happy to make to my requirements. The service was so good I later bought a big custom-made corner lounge suite as well. Everything was exactly how I'd ordered it - good quality fabrics and structure. Bonnie is great.

Good food and nice decor - just needs more life!

Good Food and Nice Decor - Just needs more Life!

My husband and I ate here about 4 months after they'd opened. It's literally an old church schoolhouse that has been converted into a restaurant / cafe. The decor is really cool and the food was great too. Will probably improve further as it becomes more popular.

We went with friends (4 of us in total) and it was a great casual night out. The food was of a really high standard (very tasty) and it was very reasonably priced.

Good cafe in a great location

Good cafe in a great location. I've been here for coffees many times and had breakfast and dinner here - usually with just a couple or 4 of us. Its pretty standard food - usually of a good quality and there's always something for everyone. With it's location on the water it's beautiful during the day - try to get a seat near the windows. Sometimes the service has been a bit slow but that's not what I come here for anyway.

Great personal trainers

Great Personal Trainers

I trained here for about 4 months when I was in a bit of a health rut and needed some extra motivation. Danny - my trainer was excellent. Not too pushy but enough to make sure I was committing to getting fit. Some people might have heard Craig Harper on Gold 104.3 or Sports Entertainment News - he knows what he's talking about!

I used this gym for about a year - mainly the cardio and gym equipment, but sometimes the pool as well. I also did some Spinning classes here - which were great.

Great mobile dog washing service

Great Mobile Dog Washing Service

We've used Tracy to wash our two large and rather hairy dogs for many years now - first from our home in the Northern suburbs, and now in from the South. (Not sure where she's located). She always does a great job with them.
