I have been to The Dam Hotel for meals on quite a few occasions in both large and small groups. The food is consistently good and there are different specials on each night. There are Chef's specials as well as (eg T.Bone Tuesday). The standard menu is excellent and there is always something for everybody. There is a small play- ground outside for children, a separate bottle shop, Karaoke some evenings but I just go for the great food at very reasonable prices.

My daughter and I shared a pizza and a pasta dish. Both were fantastic. Total bill under $36. They offer better than average pizza toppings and the restaurant is bright and cheerful. A great offer of 2 courses for $24.90 or 3 for $28.90 (Tues, Wed, Thurs and Sun). Service was good and we will definitely be returning. Best Italian on NSW Central Coast.

Comfortable B&B Lodge run by very gracious and friendly hosts. 12 separate rooms, each with private bathroom, TV, bunks and large bed configurations serviced daily. Also upstairs lounge with log fire and TV for guests to meet for after-ski chat and relaxation. Breakfast room and ample parking. Handy to centre of town but in quiet residential area. Highly recommended.

Both my daughters have danced with The Ritz over the last few years and have loved it. They teach classical ballet, jazz, funk & hip-hop, cheer-leading, burlesque, eisteddfod troupes, exam classes and private tuition from tiny tots to adults. The midyear and end of year concerts are very professionally produced and the dancers are obviously loving every minute of it.

I took a fob watch to have the catch repaired. The gent told me he would have to send it away for a few days or I could take it to another shop in the centre and possibly get it done then and there. For his honesty and trying to give the business to someone else in order get me a faster service, I gave my little job to him. It was back less than a week later and fixed perfectly at a very reasonable cost. I would definitely return for other services he offers (engraving, keys, shoe repairs etc) as he gave me great service.

I went in to browse for the first time, and was immensely surprised at the range of fresh meat, frozen products, condiments, sauces and the PRICES. Far better than I had imagined. It will definitely be worth the drive to stock up the freezer every couple of weeks. I am most impressed.

A wonderful surgeon who specializes in KNEES. A fantastic surgeon who has worked wonders with my daughter. He has taken away her pain and given her back the joy of sport. I cannot speak highly enough about Dr Roe. He operates at The Mater in North Sydney, and consults at his rooms there. For convenience, he also consults at Gosford on a regular basis.
