My family spent 1 night at this motel as a stop-over on our driving holiday. I booked directly with the owners via phone call and was pleased from first contact with the great service I received. The owner was helpful in giving us a suitable room for us four.

The room was spacious to fit my family of four and it was very clean and well kept.

On arriving the owner gave us fresh milk in a jug for coffees which was a welcomed gesture.

I requested a cot for my young bub which was available. When I raised my concerns/feedback about the cot with the owner the next morning, the owner was very polite and apologetic about it. Its always appreciated when business owners take the time to acknowledge customers.

Overall a good simple clean motel to stay in. Excellent service by the hosts.

This review is for The Strathmore Hotel, Adelaide SA

On our recent visit to Adelaide we absolutely loved our meals and the service too at this pub. Its a lovely bistro which was quite busy on the evenings we dined there. For me seeing a busy eatery is a good sign that customers know it to be good.

Our meals were great, we had schnitzels with different toppings. My little boy's kids meal was great too ... goodness knows what a fussy eater he is and he absolutely loved his pizza and ice cream with choc topping.

The waitresses were truly remarkable, very efficient and friendly.

Lovely establishment and I will definitely be back again when we visit SA.

This is a new cafe which has opened up in Epping North's shopping centre. Its a lovely modern cafe which has inside table seating.

they serve breakfast, lunch and dinners and from what i see from the menu they have a range of meals to cater for all tastes.

I have only been there couple times to grab a coffee while in the area. The service I received was excellent, the staff member was very friendly and welcoming. My coffee was a good strength exactly to my liking.

I will definitely be back again to try the range of meals.

Approximate cost: $20

A few of us friends met up for lunch here as we preferred a nice cafe atmosphere for lunch.

Staff were efficient and helpful in assisting us adjust tables and chairs to accommodate our prams.

We had a lovely lunch of different menu options include fish tacos, burgers and salads. We were all satisfied with our order and found prices to be reasonable about $20 for a main.

The blend of coffee used was quite good too.

This review is for Werribee Open Range Zoo, Werribee VIC

A very unique experience to be able to go on a safari bus to see animals in large open space.

The pathways are well set out so you can walk around the zoo at a leisurely pace.

My suggestion is to bring a picnic lunch as the food options in the bistro are a little pricey in my opinion.

There are parents facilities eg baby change tables in the bathrooms. However trying to maneuver in there with a pram is very tricky ... This is one complaint I do have with the design of the bathrooms I am sorry to say.

The gift shop is filled with lots of unique items including African beads, ceramic statues of animals, cuddly soft toys and heaps more.

Entry fee is expensive, but worth it for a great day out.

This review is for Cassandra Anne Photography, South Morang VIC

I met Cassie via a mutual friend and I was impressed at her work of taking such beautiful and natural baby and family photos.

Cassie has taken family photos for us which included our latest newborn to our family of four.

I was completely in awe at the beautiful photos she has taken of our family, which has truly captured the happiness of our family in the photos which not posed but are very natural.

Newborn photography I have learnt is a patience game. Cassie ensured her home studio was set at a warm temperature ensuring my baby was comfortable. Cassie was very gentle and caring in ensuring my baby and older child were at ease in taking their portraits. Babies can be unpredictable but Cassie did not rush the process.

Baby and family photography is a worthwhile experience as we now have beautiful memories placed in frames in our home to treasure.

I am very impressed at Cassie's professional and friendly nature. She truly is a beautiful lady who has now become a friend of mine. Of course I assure you I have written this review as a paying customer. This is a totally genuine and honest review of the work she has performed as a professional photographer.

Prices for the packages do vary but in comparison to other competitors I found it be very reasonable.

The quality of the prints are exceptional too.

Highly recommended!!

This review is for Turners Bakehouse Eatery, Mernda VIC

I have heard many friends and acquaintances talk about this cafe/bakery for a while and by chance earlier this week I had happen to drive past and we stopped for a quick lunch with my child.

Its a lovely old house converted into a cafe with an outdoor courtyard which is handy to sit in and enjoy when the weather is much more pleasant than our present cold Melbourne winter we are dealing with.

The waitress was very welcoming, big smiles and made an effort to talk to my 4 year old son by giving him a kids menu and engaging in conversation with him.

I ordered a kids meal (hamburger) and chicken schnitzel sandwich. Unfortunately the beef patty in my son's meal was burnt (these things happen to the best of us so I am not laying fault here), so I told the waitress who was very apologetic and offered him a replacement meal.

My sandwich was absolutely divine!!! crumbed chicken breast on freshly baked sour dough bread with coleslaw cheese and mayo (or aioli).

The menu looked impressive with tempting cakes for afternoon/morning tea, pies and savoury dishes.

we will definitely go back to this lovely cafe.

A massive shout out to the staff and management who were very friendly and very sincere in making mends a mistake with the order.

This review is for Darwin City Medical Centre, Darwin NT

While on holidays in Darwin my young child was feeling unwell, so I found this clinic via google.

We arrived at the clinic on a weekday as soon as they opened. After informing the receptionist that we did not have an appointment and were on holidays in the city and our child was unwell, the receptionist was very kind to fit us in to see a doctor as soon as practicable.

We were so grateful at being seen by a doctor at such short notice and no scheduled appointment.

There is no bulk billing available so we paid the consultation fee up-front.

This review is for Eira Cafe Lounge Bar, Eltham VIC

While in the neighbourhood I called in for a coffee on a quiet weekday into this cafe/restaurant/lounge which has a lovely modern feel to it.

Staff were very friendly and polite.

I was disappointed as there was not a vast selection of muffins/slices etc which I would have liked with my coffee. There were a couple of options ... biscuits etc but it was not what I was after.

This seems like a great restaurant to have a meal at from what I can tell from the menu.

There is plenty of parking nearby but be cautious as time limits apply.

This review is for Saint Thomas Cafe, Richmond VIC

I called into this cafe while in the area to get m coffee fix and was pleasantly greeted by the waiter who was very friendly.

I ordered a latte and a slice of banana/walnut bead which was a generous portion. I found it to be quite delicious although slightly cold (perhaps because of cabinet it was displayed in ??).
My coffee was perfect.

Great ambience of this cafe, bustling with customers and staff who were smiling and happy to be there.

I would love to stop by again to try their gourmet breakfasts and lunch ... i had a sneak peak at the menu for future reference
