We have been to this butcher a few times to try various cuts of meat to compare with other sellers and found that they are good with certain things but not others. Their mince is good value for money and tastes great in whatever recipe you use it in but we are not big fans of their sausages, they have an unusual taste about them and look grey once they are cooked which is not very appetising. The staff are generally friendly and helpful.

They make the yummiest cakes at the cheesecake shop. We got our sons birthday cake from here and it was simply Devine. Layers of fresh sponge, fresh cream, almonds and chocolate, absolutely delicious. They sell a wide variety of different types of cakes from Black Forest to mud cake ( vanilla, caramel and chocolate ) to sponge cakes and they are all made fresh. They sell individual portions as well as profiteroles filled with cream or custard. I really like the assorted cake toppers that they stock. From football teams to you child's favourite cartoon characters ... They sell candles both normal and numbered... The staff here are friendly and helpful and will happily help you find the right cake for your needs.

The bread products from here are always so fresh, my son especially loves the vegemite and cheese scrolls and the cheese and bacon rolls. My favourites are the pull apart breads, they go great at the table at dinner time with lots of different flavour combos. If you have a sweet tooth, you have to try their chocolate croissants and chocolate scones at Easter time. They are a bit pricey but the products are so worth it for the quality and the staff are friendly, smiling and helpful.

We love going to Stanhope Gardens swimming pool. They have 3 separate indoor heated swimming pools which include a wave pool and shallow kids area, a swimming lessons pool and a lap pool. They have a fantastic outdoor area of lush green grass where they have tables and chairs set up. They have a kiosk selling hot and cold food and are attached to a gym and library service. We recently attended the annual Christmas members pool party and were amazed with the services they offered. I will definitely be taking my little one back here. It has a great atmosphere and is a family friendly environment.

We love Oasis swimming pools, entry to the pools is cheap... $3.80 for kids and $5.00 for adults... They offer swimming lessons for $13.00 a week per child which allows you access to the pools 24/7 for one child and adult. Swimming lessons are run 48 weeks of the year. Inside they offer a gym, kiosk and a heated swimming pool with a shallow kids area. Outside they have a larger lap pool and children's playground which has just been upgraded. All in all this is a great family friendly leisure centre...

This is a great concept!!! A well maintained trampoline centre for kids, teens and adults alike. If you enjoy having fun and being young at heart then this is the place to be. At $15.00 for an hour session this is a fantastic place to bring the littlies to wear them out, interact with them and play in a safe environment. They also offer birthday parties which are held in an upstairs room that overlooks the trampoline arena. Parties run for 1.5 hours at a cost of $30.00 per person. This includes your own host for the duration of the party (1.5 hours), an ice cream cake, lolly bags, hot food and refreshments. The children can participate in party games or simply engage in free play. It is entirely their choice. Overall a great atmosphere and concept for the young and old.

Heaven's taste is a great little fast food/takeaway shop. They serve a wide variety of convenient foods from salads, to burgers, potato bakes and lasagna to hot chips. Our favourite in particular is their value for money chips and gravy. A small chips ( served in a hamburger takeaway container - generous portion) will cost you as little as $3.00, add gravy to that and you can expect to pay as little as $0.50. The staff are exceptionally friendly and customer service orientated and always greet you with a smile. I would recommend to friends and family who enjoy good tasting takeaway foods.

I love going to Plumpton Medical centre whenever the need arises to visit the doctor for myself and my family. It is such a convenient service especially now that they have the ultrasounds, etc there, add to that the pathology unit which means you don't need to drive here there and everywhere which is annoying when you have small children. Services that offer a one stop shop such as Plumpton Medical centre are very useful in an expanding community. There is always a great turn over of doctors on duty and there is generally no waiting longer than 15 or so minutes to get in to see the first available doctor. I have frequented the doctors surgery for the past 10 years even when I have moved out of and away from the area I always drive the extra distance to go somewhere that is a huge convenience. The reception staff are always smiling and there is plenty of them. The doctors are useful and helpful and work with their patients to manage illnesses, etc.

We have been here several times for brunch, lunch or afternoon tea with my mum and sisters. It's a great little place to catch up with friends and loved ones. The service is generally prompt and the staff are friendly and helpful. The food is great. Tastes like great home cooked meals, the pastries are delicious. Reasonably well priced. Recommended to friends and families.
