What a friendly place! Once I walked in the door, I was greeted straight away. The service centre is so roomy and bright, not like at the side door in some other places. I need my car serviced which usually handled by my husband. This time I was on my own. The staff made it so simple and stress free for me. When I turned up for appt of scheduled maintenance, my car was getting checked out straightaway. I was working on my laptop while waiting also enjoying a nice cup of curtesy coffee. The place is so big, every customer was able to have their own table. The car was ready within the time frame they promised. Most impressed by its professionalism, efficiency and decency.

It was one of my worst experiences at a Chinese restaurant in Australia, sorry.The outside looks impressive, but the interior and service not matching it. It was cold and dark inside. The food was average, westernised and far from authentic. There were two large tables when we dined, and maybe that's why we didn't get any attention by the staff. They were under staffed and couldn't be bothered with some random 2 adults and 2 kids diners. It took more than 15 mins to get a bowl of rice while we waiting for our food with hungry kids. It was hard to get the staff's attention. The food took so long to come. The bill was not cheap but so not worth it. Won't go back again.

Approximate cost: $25

Very friendly staff and always fresh sushi. The sushi platters are great value and impressive looking. Kids also love their mini sushi. A great healthy option for on-the-go snacks.

Approximate cost: $2 to 3 dollars per roll, $39 for a large platters enough for up to 6 people

They are very professional, reliable, efficient and good value for money. Our Gardener Dean comes every 2 weeks mowing a small front lawn at $35 and leaves the invoice in the letterbox, and we just pay by net banking. It is so convenient, and he is always on schedule never missed once. He also cleaned up our drive way and stairs garden bed at a very reasonable price. We are very happy with the service.

Approximate cost: $Reasonable

This review is for Amber Tiles, West Gosford NSW

We went to Amber looking for floor cover to the newly levelled backyard. The staff was very helpful. After hearing our family needs, he recommended synthetic grass. We chose the highest grade which cost similar to paving. It was easy to lay the grass as they come in rolls. We are most impressed by its quality - it looks real, feels soft and instant draining after rain. 5 years on, it is still as good as new. Recommend it to family with young kids without the hustle of lawn mowing.

I am very proud of this local cake shop. Cakes are really delicious and reasonable priced. I used to take a $6 walnut and dates loaf to the office for afternoon tea, and everyone loves it. I found that they have more personal touch than those big chain cake shops. I always get cakes from here for all occasions.

It is the best kept secret on the Central Coast - unbelievable seafood buffet, home-made ice cream, exclusive cottage accommodation and private beach! I dined there at a work function. The seafood buffet is 5-star hotel quality with a great range of selection plus their own home made ice cream. The food was so delicious and fresh, both cold and hot dishes. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout booking, event organisation, front desk and serving. It was absolutely a pleasant dining and function experience. I will go back again for some special occasions. It is expensive though, $85 per person for dinner buffet. This place also has beautiful private cottages accommodation, all with ocean view and some with private swimming pool. If you are looking for a couple's relaxing and romantic weekend away, you will find it just right - because no kids are accommodated here.

Approximate cost: $Buffet $85 per person, accommodation starts at $270 per perspon per night including 3 meals

This review is for Little Kickers Soccer, Erina NSW

16 Oct 2012

My 3-yrs old daughter loves it! Kids are having great fun during 45 mins session. The instructors are so good with kids, and kids listen to them! Each session has plenty of games, and kids learn basic soccer skills as well as social and listening skills thru those games. Most parents can just sit there and relax watching their kids having a good time. Kids wearing their uniform are super cute. I would recommend this fun and fitness program for parents, if your kids are interested.

Approximate cost: $Initial enrolment fee plus uniform plus 6 session = approx $145

Its famous YumCha lunch is as good as those in Sydney Chinatown. It is amazing to see how Central Coast has quickly accepted YumCha over last few years - it used to not that busy on the weekend; but now you have to book a table or wait for a table if you come after 12pm. And incredibly 90% of diners are non-Asian! Our family always enjoy the food and service here. It's good fun and great food choice for the whole family of all ages.

Approximate cost: $15 to 20 per head depending on what you order

This review is for Australian Reptile Park, Somersby NSW

16 Oct 2012

We have an annual pass and go there almost every month And always had fun. The shows are fun and entertaining- don't miss the crocodile show. The park is not overly big, so it's great for young kids to walk about. You are able to touch most of the animals there, including kangaroos, emu, koala, ducks, wombat (if it comes close to the fence) and tortoise. Zoo rangers will walk around with python, baby alligator and lizard for you to touch and take photos. The BBQ and picnic area is ideal for family fun. There is also a great kids playground inside the park. A great family day out experience.
