We had the breakfast with the birds here and my nature loving children enjoyed it a lot! For a family it is really good value as it is a huge buffet breakfast as well as talking to keepers and going on a number of tours with keepers where they explain about all the various types of wildlife in the habitat, not just birds. They all seem happy and well-cared for and live in a very natural environment so it is not like a zoo. We enjoyed it very much!

We had a great day trip to Low Isles with Quicksilver. Lots of information about the reef, snorkeling, morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea and lovely staff. We also had to wear the stinger suits as it was stinger season and all looked like martians but it was funny. The glass bottomed boat was another fun thing to do. Sadly my daughter got a bit seasick on the way back but staff were absolutely fantastic and very very helpful, Huge thanks from us and this company is highly recommended in every way!

Owned by the same people as Taste of Thailand in another street in Port Douglas, this small new restaurant has a nice location in front of the water and tucked away from the busy main street. It is much nicer away from the hustle and bustle. Staff are friendly and efficient. We ordered the standard banquet and were surprised at how much food we received for four of us, it was great! The food was delicious and served quickly, it wasn't spicy as we had kids with us. Overall we were full and satisfied and thought it was great value for money and a nice location with good food.

We went for lunch while on holiday from Melbourne. Friendly staff and lovely food! My Thai curry chicken spring rolls were flavor some and had a fresh salad. Other dishes included green tea calamari which were stacked on a bed of thin noodles. The desserts were gorgeously presented and so beautiful we took photos of them. The chocolate dessert was like a mousse sandwiched with biscuits with a mango sorbet and the white chocolate passionfruit trifle with blood orange sorbet was also scrumptious! Highly recommended and you probably need to book if you go at night.

We went here today for a birthday party and my daughter had a ball! It is great fun for kids of all ages and I think a wonderful idea for an older kids birthday party as well,ours was a ten year old. As mentioned in another review you get special socks which you can take home and being back the next time you visit. The parties have structured activities and there are different zones with different things to do. One area is only for more experienced jumpers and has an age limit. The staff were all friendly and helpful and it has a nice cafe where parents can sit and wait or parents can watch from viewing balconies above. As we left a whole group of adults were arriving and it is actually open to 10pm some nights, so maybe not just for kids. Just imagine a whole room full of different types of trampolines, it is such a great idea! My daughter's favourite had all these runways where they run off and jump into a big pit filled with foam blocks, sounds fun! The only downside is, like all of these place, the noise, it is crazy so bring your ear plugs! The entrance is small downstairs and gets very crowded as lots of people are coming and going for parties.

I saw the reviews on WOMO and they sounded very positive so I thought it was worth the call for installation of a new bathroom fan. Jim responded to my call immediately, came and gave a quote later in the day and turned up early the next day to finish the job quickly and efficiently. I was very impressed with his excellent customer service and will use him in future!

Found this shop when my son was doing a project that required special plastic construction stuff. What a fantastic place for people interested in either making models or specialized toys. The service was amazingly friendly and helpful and they also sell online. If you have a model builder that you know, they need to go here, also great for kids presents!

This review is for The Balconies Restaurant, Halls Gap VIC

This restaurant is part of the Mountain Grand accomodation in Halls Gap, it is in a lovely setting with big windows and a leafy view. The service was very good, however we were mostly disappointed with the quality of the food for the prices ( most places in Halls Gap are expensive) I guess being very far from cities makes it hard to get supplies but the dishes were very average, in particular my smoked trout was not good, but my daughter quite liked her pasta. We probably would not come here again, very standard food.
