A great bakery in Bathurst. The bread is so fresh! And the prices are really, really cheap. Their pies/sausage rolls and sweet snacks also taste great.

The pizzas here are really good. They are made fresh and you can tell the ingredients are fresh as well. The only issue is that on a busy night you might be waiting a while, and the prices are quite steep. However, you always pay more for better food so I guess it's worth it.

This review is for Ebay.com.au, Sydney NSW

eBay would truly have to be the best website around for buying and selling used and new goods.

The best thing is that you can normally find a good bargain, most items on eBay are cheaper than in-store. It's also really easy to sell things you don't want or need any more.

The feedback system means that as long as you choose carefully, you will never get scammed or ripped off. You can read every single piece of feedback that that particular member has received.

It's also really easy to find what you're looking for - eBay is so huge that almost everything you could imagine is on there. You can narrow down the search, for example, to items just in your area, or only items below $40.

eBay also has two main buying/selling formats. "Buy it now" for the fixed advertised price or you can bid in an auction. This makes even more chance for getting a bargain. They also have classifieds and best offer.

Would highly recommend eBay for picking up a bargain or selling stuff you don't want any more.

This review is for RewardsCentral, St Leonards NSW

One of the better rewards programs. There are two main advantages I can think of with Rewards Central; 1) you can earn points for shopping online and 2) you can link your account with My Opinions and transfer your points.

Of course, as with all rewards programs there isn't a lot of money to be made. I earned enough points to redeem a while ago, and the payments to your bank account are really slow (they do tell you this after you claim your rewards however, they say it can be up to 8 weeks). You might be better off getting a gift card, if that's any faster.

Overall, pretty slow to build up points however this is to be expected with all rewards programs. The payments are slow, but once again as long as they arrive I'm happy. Certainly one of the better programs.

This review is for Venue Cafe Bar, Bathurst NSW

Great Cafe. Although I've never had coffee here, the milkshakes and iced chocolates are great. The cakes & snacks are good also, but nothing special. The main meals are really good. Always taste great.

The service is great, really fast. They never miss your order or mess it up either. The cafe is clean and comfortable, conveniently located right in the middle of town.

This review is for Big W, Bathurst NSW

Big W Bathurst is a good place to get things like clothes, cheaper than some other places like the speciality stores. Obviously they have a huge variety of things to choose from, from many different categories.

Their return policy seems fair. I have always been able to get a return on something that was faulty.

I would not however recommend getting electronics here. Simply because what price you see is what you pay. At other stores such as Harvey Norman, you can bargain with them and get a good deal. Big W lacks this.

This review is for The Malaya, Sydney NSW

The food is exceptional. There is a wide variety to choose from, and it's all great. Really high quality stuff. The staff are professional and quick, you'll never be left waiting for a drink or to order. For the quality of the food, the prices are very reasonable.

From our visits to the Malaya, it's obvious they cater for large groups as well.

The views are good too, you're overlooking Darling Harbour and you can see the boats coming and going.

Would highly recommend.

This review is for Pacific Hotel, Yamba NSW

verified email - 03 Jun 2012

We ate here when we were in Yamba. The food was great, especially for a hotel. It was all fresh, quality ingredients, well presented and tasted great. The chips were the best I've ever had.

In daylight savings time, or at lunch, the view out ot sea is great. You can sit right up at the full floor to ceiling windows.

I would highly recommend The Pacific Hotel for lunch or dinner.

This review is for Blue Dolphin Holiday Resort, Yamba NSW

We stayed here in April 2012. We stayed in the best cabin available (Waterfront Spa Villa), and we certainly paid for it. It was $340 per night. Way, way overpriced. The beds were uncomfortable, kitchen hard to use and the lounge awful. Of course we weren't expecting motel room quality, but for $340 a night you expect much more than this (even when taking into account the park facilities).

The park facilities were good, they included two swimming pools, a games room, kids "play parks", giant jumping pillow and BBQs. And of course camping amenities.

The park is situated right on the Clarence River, which is good.

In conclusion the cabin we stayed in was way overpriced, even taking into account the facilities you got with it.

Approximate cost: $We paid $340 per night

This review is for Aldi, Bathurst NSW

Everything is so cheap here, and sometimes it's good value for money. Sometimes it's not thought, like for fresh fruit & vegetables. I wouldn't recommend shopping here for high quality items.

The actaul store is OK, but very understaffed. It's hard to find someone if you can't find something.

Good for people on a tight budget, that's about it.
