The thing I loved about this cafe is that there are an assortment of comfy couches to sit back and relax on as you catch up with friends. I was a bit confused by the ordering system where sometimes they bring your items out to you and sometimes you have to wait at the counter but overall staff are very friendly.

There is also an amazing selection of cakes and tasty treats on display - the ones I have tried have all been delicious.

This is a very family friendly cafe with a relaxed atmosphere. A good one to try if you haven't been before.

While Botanica has both a Bar and Bistro menu, I have only ordered from the bar menu. The food is quite good quality and value for money but it is the great atmosphere that I really enjoyed. The outdoor area is filled with tropical plants which keeps it nice and cool plus you wouldn't even know there is a carpark just outside and busy Scarborough Beach Rd - it is a great escape from the busy suburb of Osborne Park. On my most recent visit I enjoyed the chicken burger and chips which was very tasty and would recommend for a casual lunch or weekend drinks with friends and family.

I have been to this trendy bar and restaurant a few times, most recently for some casual drinks but have been for lunch as well. While the mains menu wasn't extensive there are still a few options to choose from and I enjoyed a great lamb dish. I thought it was a little overpriced, but still an enjoyable experience. The service for lunch was reasonable, a little slow but the restaurant was packed so that is understandable.

When we recently went for drinks, it was lovely to sit outside with the fresh breeze and it is only a short stroll down to the Swan River.

There is a wine-wall where you can pour wine straight from the wall into your glass, but I haven't given this a go. Might be something interesting to try next time!

Approximate cost: $30-40

This is great cafe and the staff are really friendly. Both times I have been for lunch, I enjoyed the chicken fajita - I couldn't resist ordering the same dish again as I enjoyed it so much the first time. The menu is great value for money and the service is fast.

The cafe has a real relaxed atmosphere and they also offer a range of healthy juices.

Approximate cost: $20

This funky bar is run by the same people as Zoo Cafe and located just next door. They have a great range of cocktails and beers on tap, as I am pregnant the staff were kind enough to put together a few great mocktails for me too! The menu includes mains as well as sharing plates and tapas but we have only tried the tapas. There is a huge range to choose from and prices were of very good value. We had the olives, garlic prawns, barramundi, crocodile and squid. They were all delicious.

The owners at these cottages were very friendly and helpful. We will certainly return for another trip - next time with our dog as we didn't realise it was pet friendly when we first went.

The wooden cottage was adorable with lovely country furnishings. The surrounding bushland makes for a great atmosphere from the balcony plus some nice walking trails. A great place just to chill out and relax in Summer or Winter.

This review is for Chahoya Spa, Cable Beach WA

I went for a pregnancy massage here and it was not as great as others I have had. They have the special tables available for pregnancy but I didn't find them 100% comfortable. Also when they put you on your back, they ask you to lie flat which some people don't find comfortable, especially when you are heavily pregnant it is good to have a pillow under your hip. Overall it was a nice experience, but I think next time I go to Cable Beach, I may try one of the other spas available. The staff were very nice and we enjoyed nice refreshments following the treatment.

Approximate cost: $125

You could walk straight past this restaurant which has a very modest front. Once you enter, you feel as though you are entering into an Italian family home. The decor is charming traditional with a very intimate atmosphere. The food we had was amazing with very large serves. I would recommend sharing the dessert with your partner or friend as the servings are very generous. I had the gnocchi and my friend had the chicken breast and both had a great home cooked feel to them, full of flavour. Highly recommend the stick date pudding! The service was also very good.

Approximate cost: $25-35

I used to dread going to the dentist, Dr Behari is a fantastic dentist, very gentle and thorough. All of the dental nurses I have seen over the past three years have been fantastic and trustworthy. Means I am able to relax in the chair. The reception staff are easy to deal with and the business is run very efficiently. Highly recommended if you are looking for a dentist in the Claremont area.

The view from this restaurant is amazing! We have been here on a number of occasions mainly because of it's location overlooking Cable Beach (most recently for breakfast). The staff are very friendly and the food is reasonable but we weren't wowed but the over all experience. They do make really nice banana smoothies and the seafood is fresh. The adjoining cafe which is owned by the same people provides some of the same dishes at a reduced price and you can sit on the grass outside to enjoy. Worth a try if you are in the area.
