3 times in a row i went to movies that started from 20-45 minutes late, no apology from the staff, leaving me to have to pay for parking that should have been free. twice the points did not accrue on my cinebuzz card and despite about 5 emails and a verbal complaint I have never received any feedback from the cinema. Very disappointing for a weekly movie goer especially when the price keeps going up and up.

Approximate cost: $25

the closest cinema to where i'm temporarily living in perth. great selection of foreign and contemporary films but a bit overpriced. popcorn could have been a bit fresher (it had been cooked that morning and sat there all day) and cheaper and disappointed that although there were cups, spoons and sugars and coffee on the menu, i couldnt actually purchase one. liked the tiny cosy cinema and the fact that the movie started on time, something sadly lacking in the bigger cinemas

Approximate cost: $20

Newly opened this week, great special, 2 huge rolls freshly handmade for $5. lovely husband and wife making their mark in a very competitive industry. am sure my frequent sushi card will be full in no time

Approximate cost: $5

portion sizes could be a little bigger but love the Monday night happy hour special with 30% discount on coloured plates. very happy to get my weekly sushi fix here.

Approximate cost: $15

as a new visitor to the city i was reccommended this venue for a sweet treat. whilst the signature churros in dark chocolate dipping sauce were tasty, they were very thin and overpriced. would have enjoyed a churro and coffee combo for the same price.

Approximate cost: $7.95

These are volunteer JPs who give up there time in the local community shopping centre to sign official documents. They are regularly available during business hours and were perfectly located when i needed identification authenticated for my new passport. very friendly and very thorough.

I tried this hair salon out after recommendation from a friend and have been going there ever since. Always a new student trying out their skills on my head but i've always been happy with the result. they are learning great people skills and developing confidence in their abilities and the price is just perfect especially on my tight budget. cannot understand how so many of my friends can afford over $100 every couple of weeks for the same treatments.

Approximate cost: $15-$30

we go here regularly for lunch, the staff are always friendly and service very prompt even when they are very busy. great sized and reasonably priced meals, very fresh foods and a really pleasant relaxing atmosphere.

Approximate cost: $15-20

Followed my doctor here when he changed practices and its even better. The receptionists are totally organised, very friendly, and ring to remind you for appointments which is perfect for those of us with super busy schedules. Very rarely left waiting past the appointment time.

decided that it was about time i should find out if i am able to have children and my first step was an examination at the qld fertility clinic. this detected a number of diseases in my body which could have killed me if left to develop further. thankfully i was able to get into hospital fairly swiftly and the nursing staff were great. thankfully most of the disease has been removed, so only time will tell. many thanks to the wonderful nurses at st andrews hospital

Approximate cost: $2500
