This review is for Hot House Pizza, Point Cook VIC

Would say the pizza's are mostly good, the few i have had were full of flavour and lots of toppings. But as another reviewer has mentioned its their customer service which lets them down. Admitting they were busy both times i went in to order but not the friendliest bunch. Lots of other pizza places around the suburb that deliver and a 2min drive from here in the town centre so unfortunately they lost one customer.

Firstly have to say its a great place for overseas visitors, we have family from overseas come with us and it was a great experience for them to see aussie wildlife up close. They have a great tour at 11am where you can tour the park and they let you touch koalas, wombats and show you the other animals around the park with a short walk. Not the biggest park but enough for a few hours, loved that you get to feed by hand kangaroos! not a whole day activity but great for a personal experience with the animals.

I agree with the previous review, had a family lunch and the group of 5 of us were the only ones in the place so not much atmosphere. Great spot along the bay there and by the park, on a nice day would be nice sitting outside. As for the food, pizzas were pretty nice with lots of topping but the pastas didnt look to flash. No fresh herbs or anything so would grab a pizza if i went back.

Approximate cost: $18-20

Not a bad pub but not a great one that you want to go back to all the time. Agree with one of the reviews that it could be a great summer pub with a big outdoor area, a few wood bench tables instead of the plastic table and chairs they have wouldnt hurt. Fairly good menu and a TAB and pokies it has something for everyone. Side bar is a good one to watch sport and have a drink but if its busy not much room.

Came here and had an early flight, they were happy to hold our bags and then called when the room was ready. Got into our two bedroom apartment fairly early so happy about that. Very close to the city only a 10 min walk to the city, 10 min to the harbour (peppers resort) and only 2 min to Cataract Gorge . Very happy with the accommodation here, heaps of room in the apartments and very nice decor. Recommend the apartments as the have cooktops and balconies which is nice.

This review is for Commercial Hotel, Launceston TAS

We came here with a group of people and didnt book but they were happy to accommodate a larger group. Dining area though was another story as it was like a 1970's bistro feel with the old carpet and school type long tables and red chairs. Anyway apart from the dining area they had nice pub food and nice outdoor area but not much going on after dark. With the 40 year old dj and a bubble machine it was a bit of a laugh.

This review is for Belle Amour Soy Candles, Melbourne VIC

Found these candles through a friend and have dealt with Christine from Belle Amour numerous times now. These are fantastic, lots of different scents to choose from and she is happy to accommodate any requests i had. Lovely professional jar candles which are all soy wax so non toxic for the family home which is great. Highly recommended as sometimes i paid $40 for soy candles and Belle Amour does exactly the same for half the price and all handmade. Friends love them so an easy gift to get someone :)

Another great spot and not too busy, its Lebanese cuisine which i hadn't had before but pleasantly surprised. Great menu with heaps to choose from. The bread and dips to start was great, loved the bread. I had the chicken skewers and they were amazing, lovely flavours. Really nice place with the decor topping it off, would go back for sure.

Approximate cost: $25

Great japanese takeaway and sushi here, only thing is its only open during business hors Mon - Fri. They have lots of hot dishes with rice and about 10 different sorts of sushi to choose from. You can also order off a menu. Not the best quality but heaps for your money. They have a little dining room but only about 10 tables.

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for The Wharf Hotel, Melbourne VIC

Just started working around here and have been down here for a few lunches and after work drinks. Great spot on a summers day as they have a big outdoor space with heaps of seating. The meals were your typical pub meals which are great and the range of beers is great. I have heard and one review says it also that a sunday here is fantastic which i hope to do soon. Not the best spot as its away from the main drag but works sometimes and it has a great spot beside the river.

Approximate cost: $25
