If you are like me and love asian inspired homewares, then this shop is for you. I wanted to buy everything. They have furniture and homewares and their stock changes every 6-8 weeks. Well worth the visit and the staff are extremely friendly. The owner of this store also owns the Geelong store.I will be going back there again soon!

Don't let the front of the store deceive you. Once inside, you will see there is a treasure trove of old painted lacquered furniture, unusual lamps and statues and other odds and ends. When we visited there was a 30% sale. It can be pricey but if you are having an asian theme for your home and are looking for a stand out piece of furniture, then this store is definetly worth a look. They have more furniture upstairs which you can look at. This store is there warehouse and they have another small store at 300 Bridge Rd.

Approximate cost: $500

I stayed at the hotel next door for work and went here for a meal. It was so good that we went back the next two nights. The seafood platter for two was amazing as were the desserts. You will not be disappointed!!Wide variety of foods on menu-caters for most tastes. Friendly owner who likes to listen to customer feedback.

We signed a contract in December 2008. Our home is not currently at lockup and does not even have a roof. It is a double story home and the frame has been exposed to the elements for the past 12 months. There have been numerous site supervisors and errors that have been made re the building of our home. Major errors including using two different types of mortar on our home!! Extremely dissapointing and frustrating experience. Excuses after excuses regarding the delays and still no definite time frame for completion.My dream home has become an absolute nightmare. I dread when friends ask me how my home is progressing. No good communication channels. Based on the above, you can judge for yourself as to whether you would want your home built with this company. Would I do it again-NEVER!!
Just an update to this review. Yes, I am now in my home after waiting 2 years and 3 months to get it finished. It was a long journey but a terribly stressful experience to go through.
