tearing my hair out last year trying to find pink and white jelly beans for my wifes girls night in fundraiser party, i dropped into 'the berry bon bon' on the way through berry. the owner there was happy to order in what i wanted ,contacted the suppier on the spot and even stated that if the 'pink' jellybeans wern't the correct shade when they arrived [i was purchasing unseen] i could cancel the order! wow what great friendly service!
while i was there i couldnt help browsing there huge range of confectionary that transported me back to my youth [ like poprocks!!].
both times , when i placed my order and when i picked it up i couldnt help from making some small purchases. prices are average for this type of shop but quality and service is A1

on my last trip to kiama i needed to refuel befor heading home, so i dropped into addisons garage on the way out of kiama.
would you believe it in 2012, an attendant came up to the car and asked me how much fuel i needed! Extremely convinent for me as i was with my daughter at the time [4] and it is a hassle to take her into the shop top pay when you are in a hurry. old fasion service rarely found these days!
fuel price was on the expensive side of normal as expected from a small town but the service blew me away!!

when in gerringong i call into perfect break cafe. it is an awesome shop with great food, so good that the meat eaters [such as me] dont complain! i shared a mezzi platter with a friend, amazing dips, olives, marinated veg everything was great. nice home made cakes and HUGE coffee's and tasty smoothies. perfect break here i come!

Approximate cost: $12

I was told by my father about this tyre retailer/fitter. if he hadnt told me i wouldn't have known it was there! After calling around a few retailers i found that they had the cheapest price for the type of tyres i needed [ cheaper by $15 per tyre for 4wd/suv] they also did an alignment/ balance cheaper as well [$10 cheaper]. the mechanic afterwards told me that i can return the car for a FREE tyre rotation , a service that was extra at all the other locations.
excelent product and a1 service, my next tyres will be from here!!

Approximate cost: $129/tyre

we dined at coffeelicious a few months ago and i keep going back for their steak sandwich!
literaly the best steak sandwich i have ever tasted!!
tender sirloin steak with haloumi on turkish bread, make sure to ask for aged cheddar too!
my friends had an awesome caesar salad and the other had a HUGE protien salad, with eggs and chicken all quite large portions , quite good value for money.
nice coffee and deserts as well.
not your standard coffe shop!!

Approximate cost: $15

This is the first meal i have had at the huskisson since their renovations . The food was fantastic with many great choices to choose from. My friend had a steak sandwich that looked awesome whilst i had an eggplant parmigana.
Both served with a fresh salad and crispy chips.
Price was a bit more expensive than i expected but then so was the class of the meals, deffinatly not just a 'pub' meal.
I will be returning to try that steak sandwich!

Approximate cost: $20

i called into the rainbow pie shop on a visit to milton.
the service was ok, and the place could do with a quick clean. They had a great selection of pies and baked goods that were better tasting than the average bakery but not as good as i expected.

Approximate cost: $5

i was lucky enough to be taken to the butterfactory restaurant for my birthday dinner.
we enjoyed a fantastic modern australian fare , with many items being sourced locally.
i had ravioli for entree and pork belly for main.
the pork belly was great, one of the best i have had
the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. they went out of their way to accomodate my 5 yr old daughter with colouring books and pencils even letting her draw on the paper tablecloth.
price was a bit higher than i was used to, but it is a special occasion venue.
by the end of the night we had each had a fantastic meal and left our own piece of 'artwork' on the paper tablecloth
i will be returning to try their set menu.

Approximate cost: $25

a few months ago i was at a function at huski stone grill
The steak was awesome and the staff are very friendly.
the place is byo and there is a bottle shop 3 doors down.
for a meal you cook yourself there was a bit of a wait and the vegetables could have been jazzed up slightly , but the wagu beef was fantastic. I love the social aspect, cooking dinner and enjoying good times with friends or family. i will be returning again

Approximate cost: $25

i was invited to bottlerocket by friends of mine, and i wondered why i hadnt been earlier!
The inside of this place feels so confortable, standard 'bar' tables but with lounges too. bottlerocket has great music playing that isnt too loud so you cant hold a conversation. The service is awesome, they are happy to run a tab instead of paying as you go and treated me like i was a friend and been there 100 times!!
they do great cocktails and mocktails and even serve beer on tap from the local hopdog brewery!
the food is fantastic , we had pizza to share amongst our party and 'beer' snacks [ nuts olives n chips ]
the prices are a bit more expensive than i am used to in nowra , but its a place for a quiet drink not to get 'hammered' with the standard teen crowd.
they also have trivia nights and live music.
this is my new hang out place!
