Its hard to know how to rate this business. Whats not to like about movies watched in a recliner chair complete with wine & food. More that you would think unfortunately. Since this opened it has changed considerably from a top notch experience (aside being pricey) to a pretty poor one. Lets start with the ticket price. Depending on the day/time if you buy at the counter - the cheapest ticket you will get is $23 and it ranges up to $35. Thats assuming you don't want to book on-line at another $5 a ticket. Not cheap, but some would say justifiable if the experience was worth it. Unfortunately its not. The food on offer is poor value, and is essentially highly overpriced cafe food. At the moment the deserts are terrible - not one on the menu seems to be worth its price. I even gave up on the desserts for a choc top, but even that was half melted! At $45 for three courses, or $17 for 5 "spring rolls" and a bit of dipping sauce your wallet will feel the pain. The wine list is fine, although someone should teach them how to pour to the line, very miserly serving. Overall the place is starting to lack its polish. You used to be greeted at the door, now you are lucky if a staff member makes time for you. I am not sure why, but the cinema itself now seems to have noisier patrons, particularly if its a group in the back row. I suspect its the patrons responding to the overall feel of the place. I so wish this place would pull its socks up. Bring back the churros, and the menu specials. Vaccuum the cinema in between the screenings, and consider putting in toilets within the GC area. I would still go, but its now situational. Go on a Monday, make sure you are a member of their movie club, and you will get a free martini. And stick to the drinks! For shame!

Approximate cost: $40-100

The recent reviews on Womow reminded me to revisit this place on my return to Hobart. I am glad that I did! As other reviewers mention the pizza is quite pricey although no more than other gourmet places in Hobart. There are some things that offset the costs which is nice. No corkage, bring your own wine and they will provide glasses for you (there is a Big Bargain bottle shop right nearby at 621 - 623 Sandy Bay Road). Chilled tap water is provided free (bottle in the fridge) with glasses. They also have a frequent pizza card - so in three pizzas you can get a garlic bread, seven (I think) and its salad. And at 10 you get a free pizza. It appears cumulative. The pizzas are very tasty, although I prefer mine crisper so I plan to ask them to cook mine a little longer next time. They do not taste as “heavy” as the chain bought ones and are better ingredients. Yum! They have tables inside but its very pokey - seats around 12 from memory. There are also tables outside in good weather. They seem to do half and half readily, so if you can't choose between two types you do not have too. The pizzas are pretty filling so the best value seems to be (at least for two people) a main pizza and a small dessert pizza. I think from memory it was roughly $30-35 for that, adding on the cheap plonk and it's a pretty good value all up (hence my rating). Lovely location right near the beach should you want to eat picnic style. There are a few niggly things they could improve on. The floors need a little bit of a cleaning, and a little bit of a spruce up would not go astray. Also the place is small so when it gets busy it crowds. As a warning the toilets are the public ones a short walk away, so you need to factor that in but that's no biggie. The service seemed fine, a little hurried but really the pizza is the star here. All in all you could do far worse. Its worth going back to again and again – and that's not something you can say about every Pizza place in Hobart! I know I will be back.

Dined in - poor value for money. Toilet there is staff only, despite them knowing the public one around the corner does not work (vandalised). This place was packed but I am not sure why. Bellerieve must be very short on good takeaway. $17 for a main that should have been $12. Chicken was a breast cut - but so overcooked. Potatoes had been boiled and then placed in sauce - so tastless and watery

Approximate cost: $17

Unusual to find a baby store in an out of the way location. About 5 kilometres from Devonport. Small shop but packed to the rafters (lterally) with the practical and not so practical baby raising gear. Lovely quality and seems to be open on odd days like Sunday (check with them) - so very accessible. You may want to set a budget as some of the stuff is so gorgeous you may want it all. Unfortunately they are not established enough to have contacts like who runs a nappy service, but the owner is friendly, and she will gift wrap for free.

This used to be Kenar Park Boarding Kennels, which closed. It has now reopened under a new name (Same owners) and added a Cattery. I can only comment on the Kennel. Owners are very caring and give your dog a wash before handing your pooch back over. They are a little inflexible with changes of arrangements, so if you make a time to drop off/pick up you need to try and stick with it (check with them). The dog housing arrangements seem unusual as they tend to let the dogs play together in runs, some dogs may not suit that - but for others it can be great fun & relieve boredom. Have dealt with them many times and there has never been a problem. My dog always seems to come back tired, but happy and does not seem to mind too much in being away.

Local run tourist information centre. 5 kilometres from Launceston Airport. Very well situated. Operates out of a historic building, which also has a display on the local area and small souvenir shop. Provides Internet access/phone/photocopier (charge) and tourism publications/limited booking service. Good chance to chat with a "local and get to know about the area. Be warned if you ask about their local hero - Lt Col. Harry Murray VC, CMG, DSO and Bar, plan to be there for a while! Runs on donations which are voluntary (other than where they have to charge to cover costs apparently). They also seem to be able to give some advice on things to see & do in the local area, and further afield

Very underated tourist attraction, in the CBD region (short walk from Post Office in city centre). Amazing insight into Colonial History. Ghost tours are run of an evening (very scary). During the day there is tours. A little like Port Arthur, but on a smaller scale and not in ruins. Suitable for pretty much anyone but just be careful with younger kids as they do tour the "hanging room". All sensitively done, but those were tough times. Very good value, and volunteer run

Approximate cost: $16 2A, 2C

Swimming Pool in the Suburbs of Hobart. Gets fairly heavy use from school children so if you are looking at swimming laps make sure its in the evening or lunchtime or be prepared to share. Sometimes there may not be much room for kids to swim. There are barbeques for use although the yard outside is quite small. They need to improve a few things, water is too cold, and they need screens on the showers. Cleanliness can be a real problem too, and its a bit sad to have kids playing in the showers for 15 mins wasting water when there is a pool! - more supervision in that area is needed

Approximate cost: $5

Seafood was very tasty and could not be faulted. Unfortunately though it is way to pricey given the serving sizes and the fact that side dishes are separate and cost extra again (the pictures on their website are not anywhere near what we got) and the other tables serving looked worse (like a kids meal). Wine was also expensive. Nice location, nice interior. Given that they have a takeaway section go for that instead and BYO some wine, there are plenty of places to sit outside in the park on a sunny day. Loose all the expensive and pointless glitter and let the food speak for itself your wallet will thank you!

Approximate cost: $35-40

Late minute travel plans left us in Sydney Domestic early morning for 4 hours. If you can get access to this lounge, its a nice little oasis in a very busy airport. They have recently refurbished the place and it looks good. Breakfast was continental themed and quite solid. They need to work on the toaster though as the bread gets trapped and burns - A LOT. Just as well the extractor fans do their work. The bar service does not start till 11am, but if you ask nicely they may serve champagne to you - which is just a nice touch in my opinion. 11am they move onto munchies, wine and a light lunch, all quite tasty. The theatrette is good. All in all if you need to kill time and don't want stress its worth heading there. Definetly nicer than Melbourne Lounge. Single Entry to Lounge $30 if bought on-line (need to fly with Virgin) or about $35 if using a third party scheme like priority pass

Approximate cost: $35
