We've eaten here a few times and never been disappointed with the food.
I like my steaks medium-well and they've always cooked it perfectly. The fish has also been tasty and fresh.
It's one of those pubs where you go up to the counter and order your food, and the queues can get quite long at busy times, especially on Sat night. This can get annoying when all you want to do is order some ice cream for the kids after their meal, and have to wait in a line of 10 people all ordering their mains.
The playground is a bonus, as it keeps the kids busy while the adults eat. If you have older kids, or no kids, I'd suggest getting a table away from the playground as it can get a bit noisy.

This review is for Dingley Village Mini Golf, Dingley Village VIC

My kids aged 5 and 7 love this mini golf (and us 'big kids' secretly love it too!) It's a bit pricey but our family always has lots of fun there.
There are two courses, with one being under cover so you can even play on a rainy day. My kids have lots of fun with the novelty of having to hit through/around things, and of course getting the ball in the water on some holes.
The under cover course is over two levels, with the ball coming down ramps from the top level to the bottom level on a couple of holes (which was a hit with the kids).

Approximate cost: $12.50 adults, $9.50 kids

My kids love this place, we've had 2 birthday parties here. The parties are great, very organised, lovely party hosts, and the party food is pretty good too.
We've also been once or twice just for a play but entry fees are a bit pricey (and not good form charging adults for entry!) Food prices are very reasonable though.
It's hard to talk to other adults as it gets very noisy inside, so recommend going early before it gets too busy.

This review is for The Cuckoo Restaurant, Olinda VIC

We have eaten at The Cuckoo before but this recent visit was the first time we'd taken the kids (7 & 5). Happy to report that they loved it as much as we do and are keen to go back again!
We went there on a Sunday night so it was lovely and quiet. There were no big queues for food and the service was exceptional. We were greeted by the owner at the door which was a welcoming touch. The restaurant was very well staffed and great service: they were amazingly quick at taking away the empty plates and making sure we still had drinks.
It was a great place for the kids: no complaining they're hungry while waiting for food as they can eat straight away, and the live entertainment and activity/colouring sheet also kept them busy so we could have an enjoyable night out.
Will definitely come back for future family birthdays!

Approximate cost: $50 adults, $25 kids

Jason has been mowing our lawn for over a year now and always does an amazing job with the mowing, and nice straight edges too.
He has always been reliable and turns up on time every month.
Our lawn has never looked so good!
