Every school holidays, we go to rent out DVD's. They have a great selection and most movies are available at all times. I couldn't believe my luck when they had an old Schwarzenegger movie Red Sonja available. Bill and his staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Bill said they have been in business for 25 years, so have built up a great selection of movies. I appreciate the discount coupon you get with each purchase, for your next hire.

My family and I love going to the hotel. They have a lovely menu but it is a bit pricey. So we go for their specials on a Tuesday night ($10 rump or schnitzel) or Thursday ($12 schnitzel with toppings, chips & salad). The portions are good, the food fresh and tasty. It's comfortable to bring the kids and sit on their lounges. We go at least once a month. A great cheap night with the family!

Whenever I'm at the shopping centre, I'm sure to drop by and stock up on meat from Joe's. They are very well priced, have a great range and appreciated being awarded each time I shop (stamp card when spend over $15). The veal schnitzel is so tender and they have the cheapest chicken tenderloins anywhere I've seen. See you again next week!!

I went to the Fish Fair grill where they were sampling the marinated herb and garlic John Dory fish. It was so delicious, I bought some to cook at home. Were a not big fish eaters, but this was tasty, fresh and well priced. The girls service was A1.

I have been banking with ANZ for many years. But the service provided by the Sutherland branch is outstanding. I am a regular customer. But I am still amazed that the girls remember my name as I enter the office before I swipe my card. This and their attention to detail and more is what I consider outstanding customer service. Special mention to Greg Clarkson and Jenny in Home loans.

The best butcher I have found. The meat is always tender. The range is well priced - not cheap, but good value for money. The boys are always friendly and knowledgeable. I always buy my veal osso bucco from there. Great quality and selection of sausages.

I am amazed at the beautiful creations and colours painted on the chocalates. A true artist at work. I love the Gianduia chocolate and the chocolate cards I bought for Mother's day. Maria at the frnt is so friendly

Whenever I have a party, I go to this shop. All products are well priced and there is a huge range to choose from. Especially great to pick a boquet of balloons and a pinata

I LOVE this shop. The smell when you walk in, the great assortment of chocolates and the yummy sample they usually offer you. The Cointreau truffle and Balieys Bomb are my favourites

A great selection of the "seconds" Sandhurst range and products from overseas. My husband loves the dill cucumbers they stock (and no one else does). Sometimes annoyed when the shop closes at lunch time but that's when I can go
