This review is for Ringwood Florist, Ringwood VIC

verified email - 07 Oct 2009

Stopped here for flowers because it was on my through however will not be going back. Standard assortment, somewhat overpriced for the quality. When the man took them out of the bucket to bag and sell to me, the stems were slimey and going bad. Once bagged up they smelt horrid due to the slime on the stems and the smelly water being transferred from the bucket to my bag. They were to be a gift. I had to go home, remove the leaves from the stems, trim them, rinse them and re-wrap. They were otherwise no good for anything. What kind of florist doesn't change the water in their flowers? And if this is the case, what florist could bag them up in such a way and sell them for $15 without a care in the world as if they were lovely? Only a bad one not worth going to I say!

Approximate cost: $7-$30

This review is for Taronga Western Plains Zoo, Dubbo NSW

Heard lots of hype and good recommendations before visiting Dubbo Zoo. Perhaps this had my expectations too high? The zoo was good, don't get me wrong. Enough animals and nice grounds. It's a large zoo with various ways to get around including by car, walking, hiring golf buggies or bikes. We opted for bikes, which was a real novelty. The downfall of this park was the price. Entry is expensive and then they sting you even more for bike hire. Not that I expect these things to be free, but it's not a cheap half day out. I was glad to be riding a bike because it drew out the time, in a car, it would be all over in the blink of an eye. Worth a look in at least once in your life but shame about the cost.

Approximate cost: $45 plus $20 pp bike hire

We had an end of lease clean done by Violetta at On Call Cleaners. Result was FANTASTIC. Well worth the money, everything was thoroughly cleaned top to bottom and a receipt for the real estate. Would definitely recommend this business/service to anyone relocating.

Approximate cost: $195-$250

Fun activity for all ages in Coffs Harbour. Canoe hire is affordable, the owner is friendly and Coffs Creek is a lovely view. Best to go when the tide is in!

We've had our car serviced here numerous times. The staff are friendly and honest and the prices are great. No feeling as though you're being ripped off or taken for a ride.

This review is for Wins Thai Kitchen, Coffs Harbour NSW

Recently renovated/extended, Wins Thai is great for take-away or eat in. Service is good and the food is great. Big fan of the tofu pad thai and tofu panang. Prices are reasonable too and it's always busy here, people can't stay away!

Approximate cost: $12

This review is for Thai Chiang Rai, Kingston ACT

Yum yum yum! My partner has been here so many times and will not dare eat anything but the chicken panang because he believes it's THAT good. Well, I am vegetarian, the kitchen was happy to make my panang with bean curd and vegetables and oh my gosh, it was unbelievable. Truely. Other dishes tried were the prawn pad thai, vegetarian spring rolls and of course some rice. Everything was delicious and well presented. Staff were friendly and mostly prompt. Would go back time and time again for panang, really tasty!

We booked early and scored a table for three right by the fire. Excellent spot for warmth and ambience. The Porcini Pappadelle, Chicken Risotto and Chimmichunga were enjoyed by all. Lots of variety on the menu, something for everyone. Service was prompt and polite.

Approximate cost: $20-$30

Had a fantastic breakfast here. The venue was stylish and modern, the staff were really accommodating and prompt. Three of us - we had free range poached eggs with mushroom and kipfler potato; scrambled eggs with mushroom and tomato; and the atlantic omelet. Two coffees and a freshly squeezed apple and watermelon juice also did not disappoint. Would definately go back.

Approximate cost: $12-$15

This review is for Veer Indian and Chinese Restaurant, Ballarat VIC

verified email - 14 Jun 2009

Had a really enjoyable meal here recently. Staff were fantastic, they were polite, efficient and a attentive. They were also short staffed on this occasion which made the service even that much more impressive. Lots of things to choose from on the menu, everyone was catered for. Food was tasty, nothing mind-blowing, but well presented, filling and good. The venue itself is really nice. The only complaint I'd have about our visit was seating. We were placed next to a really large table of half adults, half children. It's clearly not the fault of the restaurant that the kids were incredibly loud, obnoxious and plain annoying, but perhaps something could have been arranged that this table were more isolated or at least no one else placed near it. Would definitely go back here in the future and look forward to it.
