Absolutely LOVE Cobblestone Lane. Best value is to go for Lunch when you can get a set menu of 2 or 3 courses for as little as $30.

Great for winter and when it is just too hot. Great play area for older kids, but could expand are for under 2's. Can get quite crowded in school holidays, but this a given.

Wonderful, kind and caring vets. Dr. George and Skye seem to love and care for the animals as much as the owners.

Located on the trendy shopping end of Keppel Street, Legall's is a must for pastry lovers. You can't go past the Beef Bourginon pie, or the Bon Vivant cake. A bit pricey, but to die for!

excellent friendly and very knowledgeable. Great to get a quality service at a reasonable price. Can also look after cars that most service centres aren't able to.

Any visitors, or locals for that matter, have to try Annie's. It has long been an icon in our town. Even have gluten free products!

Limited range in store but will be happy to find what you need. Not to be confused with Bathurst Bolts and Fasteners (which is just around the corner).

Our child has just started at West Bathurst Preschool and we could not be happier. Staff are wonderful, classrooms are neat, and communication with parents is great. In the few short weeks my child has already learnt so much in this caring environment. The school is also nut & egg free. Also staff that were there when my niece attended 8 years ago are still there - says something about a good work environment

If you want to impress with flowers, then Florabundance should be your only consideration. The arrangements are unique and beautiful and the presentation is wonderfully simplistic. Priced a little higher than average, but you get what you pay for and the recipient will surely be impressed.

I was recommended to use Scallywags by a friend, who told me that it was a great place and that they were very happy with the service. My child only attended for a very short time, but I have to say that the experience was not at all positive. The staff were very friendly and competent, but the centre itself is very shabby and run down. Not at all what you would expect from the council (or maybe it is).
