This review is for Anytime Fitness, Diamond Creek VIC

I had a 1 month trial at this gym after purchasing it at a charity auction.
The facilities are very modern and well maintained. There was rarely a time that I went that I could not use the gear that I wanted due to too many people. As a female I always felt VERY comfortable. Staff were polite, helpful and friendly.

Approximate cost: $15 p/w

This review is for Citywide Insulation, Eltham VIC

verified email - 27 Nov 2012

We had this company come to give and quote and subsequently install insulation for our house as well as some roof vents. Luke was always very polite and gave great information at his quote.
Work seemed a little bit slow, doing short days instead of long days, however - I can not comment on the conditions of having to work in someone's roof space when warm!
They always cleaned up after themselves and I felt comfortable leaving them in our home when we were not there.
There was some very minor damage that was caused inadvertently from the works and Luke was very apologetic and more than willing to (and did) rectify very quickly.

Approximate cost: $Varies

This review is for Teapot Cafe, Eltham VIC

I regularly go here with my young daughter before story time at the library. The staff are always very friendly and so willing to please. We have only ever had morning tea type food and it has been nice. The menu looks very good and I am keen to try out soon.

I did eat lunch here and it was terrible. My daughters fish and chips were cooked in stale tainted oil, the fish did not taste fresh. My focaccia was bland as bland. Will not be going back here.

Approximate cost: $12

This review is for House of Salad, Eltham VIC

We have now had 2 bad trips here. We gave it a second chance as they used to be really good and maybe had an off night. No, if possible they were worse the second time. Pizzas had very little flavour, one of them essentially had no flavour. The best food of the night was our daughters chips. Service was also horrendous, they were much more interested in talking and fooling around amongst themselves.

Approximate cost: $18

This review is for Springfree Trampoline, Kunda Park QLD

verified email - 30 Oct 2012

We purchased a large trampoline from Springfree after recommendations from friends.
Their product is extremely good, feels so high quality. The service throughout has been exceptional, we had a minor issue and they were on to it straight away with follow up phone calls and very generous support.
Our 3yo daughter loves it of course, it is a trampoline, I feel very very comfortable with her on this.
They are expensive but we hope/have confidence that this will last us for a very long time.

We had a lovely night here with 7 adults and 3 children. The food was very tasty and fresh and came out just as we asked for it. The restaurant is large and finished very nicely.

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Broadwater Parklands, Southport QLD

verified email - 18 Sep 2012

These parklands are amazing. There is a fantastic area for kids of all ages to play with a jumping pillow, a little bike/scooter area, an amazing shallow water man made “rock pool” area, walking track, grass areas and café. There is also a protected swimming spot in the broad water with netting and a beach area. We spent many many hours here with our daughter.
There is lots of shade and the parks were immaculate, every day we would see numerous maintenance people attending to the park.

Approximate cost: $Free

This review is for Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, Currumbin QLD

verified email - 18 Sep 2012

We were so disappointed with this. We chose this of all the large attractions on the Gold Coast as our daughter is only 3 and loves animals. Even though we were there at the right time, the lorikeets were non-existent, they did try and make up for it though handing out animal balloons… Their excuse seemed a bit lame as my relatives had more in their backyards up there.
The park was not well laid out and the animals / enclosures were all a little dreary.
Our daughter loved the train that goes around the park, and saves tired legs as well as the playground. We enjoyed the bird show, but they are pushing the eco message too much.
The park was tidy and had a volunteer to assist at every corner you turned.
We felt it was quite expensive to get in, on top of paying for parking, and everything in between, as well as the constant requests for additional donations for various causes.
We probably would not go back, but then we are a little spoilt with our zoos in our state.

Approximate cost: $33

This review is for Glow Worm Caves, Tamborine Mountain QLD

verified email - 18 Sep 2012

This was an interesting thing to do. Was a bit quirky and once you have seen the glow worms, you have seen them, but they were good to see and our little daughter loved it.
The staff were friendly, the surrounding winery and out door area was lovely and it did not cost much.
The tour went for half an hour and was just the right amount of time. It was not that busy so we got striaght in.

Approximate cost: $12

This review is for Tamborine Rainforest Skywalk, Tamborine Mountain QLD

verified email - 18 Sep 2012

I was a little disappointed in this attraction, I did have expectations which may not have helped. You didn't really get to see much more from the skywalk than we did on other little walks around the area on the ground. The cantilever was good. Was nice as a novelty but that was not worth the cost to enter.
Would be a nice place to sit in the café and look out over trees, also a nice little gift shop.

Approximate cost: $20
