Tickets are $13 2d, $16-50 in 3D and bargain days on Mondays and Tuesdays at $9 for 2D and $12-50 for 3D. Seats were comfortable with plenty of leg room. They also had a 'crying room' for parents with upset children. Toilet facilities were just ok and felt they were a bit busy to spare a 'toilet check'. Staff not overly friendly or helpful and as in most cinemas, the shop was pricey.

I used this company to move house after calling several others. They were quick to come and give me a quote and showed genuine care for my belongings. They were on time and worked very, very hard not wasting time.

I took four children and my husband to a dinner and show on a friday night. Staff dressed in themed costumes greeted us at the door and took us to tables in front of a stage. It did not take long for them to seat everyone that had booked in (must book). We were told of the nights meal being chicken schnitzel, chips and salad with a choice of three sauces. I was disappointed not to be offered anything different however the meal was huge and very tender and served with not much of a wait. All six loved their meals. The other disappointment was no dessert was offered or coffee and tea. The show that was presented was awesome and they involved people from the audience to participate in the show. The comedy was terrific also with ALL staff in costume. I would book again if their menu was to change or include different choices.

You can smell this restaurant down the road. Indian cuisine at its finest. Eat in or takeaway meals served in traditional copper bowls. I ordered a combination plate of butter chicken, lamb madras and a vegetarian dish with rice and cheese naan bread. The flavours were amazing. All dishes are labelled with mild, medium or hot so that u know how it will be. The meat to sauce ratio was terrific and a very generous meal. They also offer traditional desserts and cakes if you can fit it in. Indian music is played gently in the background and is a very popular place. They have recently opened a spice store next door also so you can purchase some yourself. The mild flavours are very suitable for children. Soft drinks and coffees are also served. All in all a wonderful experience of international foods and i will purchase again.

This review is for The Kent Hotel, Hamilton NSW

The Kent is a large 'old style' hotel in the main street of Hamilton in Newcastle. I purchased a meal voucher to be used here one month prior! The bistro area is at the back of the hotel and was a great atmosphere of sandstone brick and wood! The menu was amazing for the price including pastas, steaks, seafood, salads and breads. I had a pasta dish and my partner lamb shanks. I was unable to finish my meal due to the size but tried hard as it was so tasty and fresh. My partners shanks just fell from the bone. It was not table service but that was expected. Staff were polite and friendly. Tables and toilet areas were all clean. Drinks could be purchased in pub area but meal was definitely above an expected pub quality. Children are welcome to eat there also as there is an entrance thru the back carpark. We will be back for sure and am looking forward to it.

Approximate cost: $12 - $18

I organised a ladies day out here after seeing it advertised! Yum, yum...we ordered platters of fruit, banana bread, marshmallows, and pastries serves with pots of chocolate and caramel sauces. It was delicious. The marshmallows are made on the premises along with the chocolate! My coffee was smooth and rich in flavour presented with a chocolate coffee bean on the spoon. We admired the hand made chocolates for sale in the store and the eclectic pieces around the wooden walls. The front windows opened like doors so we could watch people passing by. Staff were clean and well presented and looked after us perfectly. I enjoyed my afternoon their immensely and decided to bring my teenage girls as a treat two weeks later at night. We were unable to get a seat without a booking and can understand why! I will return for sure....but make a booking....word is out...terrific!

This review is for Moonshadow Cruises, Nelson Bay NSW

We booked a dolphin cruise and that exactly what we got! We were not disappointed, getting up close with several pods of dolphins. My two children were also helped onto a net that comes off the side of the boat to enjoy the water and dolphins. It is a lovely area with staff telling you all about the surrounding areas and points of interests. The boat was clean and well maintained. Myself and the children were helped on and off the boat and constantly checked on to see if we needed anything. It was an awesome day out!

This review is for Tilligerry Habitat State Reserve, Tanilba Bay NSW

A beautiful cottage new Tanilba Bay Public School with displays and information about the area. They update daily noticeboard of where Koalas have been spotted so that u can take a walk to look. Boardwalk and gardens/bushland has been well looked after but found staff did not interact with visitors. I felt activites could have been provided to encourage the children to understand the importance of the area and how it should be cared for. There was a great enclosed area like a nursery but was disappointed when told we could not go in as it was looked after by volunteers. Was quite hard to find also and would like to see council put up better signage to direct you there!

This review is for Koala Shores, Lemon Tree Passage NSW

Lovely caravan park situated on the waterfront of the water systems of Lemon Tree Passage. We hired a cabin, but there were many camping spots available with electricity. We as a family enjoyed the hire of canoes. Their is a terrific kids club area with computerised games and visiting entertainers throughout the holidays. There is also a great park, basketball court and putt putt golf. We were lucky enough to see a local koala and plenty of other wildlife. You can fish off the wharf or the sand and enjoyed Flathead on the BBQ twice in our week stay. Staff are friendly and keep an eye on rules such as helmets on kids and hrs of pool use. Toilet facilities were clean most of the time but found parking difficult if u have a visitor or have taken a second car. There are only a few visitors spots before you must park out on the road in front of the park! A great place to go with family! Five minute drive to shops for supplies or half hour drive to major shops with cinemas etc! Awesome holiday location!

This review is for Lemon Tree Passage Motel, Lemon Tree Passage NSW

It is located on the grounds of the local bowling club and found this to be its biggest downfall. The noise of a live band was heard til very late when we then had to put up with people leaving the club at midnight. The motel itself is quite small but kept clean and tidy. It is close to shops, buses, local pool, newsagents and bakery. Service by staff was good and found them to be polite. It books out often due to the proximity to the bowling club (competition bowls) so book in with pleny of notice if possible.
