My husband still raves about this as the best place he's had breakfast in Melbourne! And it certainly was a yummy breakfast... The eggs were cooked perfectly and the sourdough bread was fabulous, the juice & coffee were great. We must go back again sometime...

Probably the best pizza place in Darwin. A great place for a big catch up with mates. If you're a Darwinite or you feel the cold make sure you take a jumper - the aircon is always up really high (a plus I guess, if you're feeling the heat in Darwin!) We'll be back again...

THE BEST Indian restaurant in Cairns. What more can I say?! The food is fabulous, the staff are lovely and the place is fantastic! We can't wait to go back!

We love this place - great food, great atmosphere, friendly & helpful staff! We had a catered pre-wedding gathering here, which was great - they brought out heaps of lovely pizza slices! We often take friends here for a meal. It's the best place (and least pricey) to eat at Southbank and has lovely views over the Yarra and across to Flinders St. Station.

This review is for Lilydale Dentist, Lilydale VIC

Dr.Ang is a great dentist and she did a good job with the kids' teeth. My parents go there too and think she is fabulous. There was a bit of a wait in the waiting room (although, isn't there always?!) and it seemed a bit pricey - though maybe it was the particular health cover we have.

This review is for Victoria Fruit Palace, Ripponlea VIC

This place has lovely fresh fruit, vegies and herbs. It also has some breads, pastas etc. and a freezer full of frozen berries and other fruit (must buy some frozen mango sometime - yum!) and frozen pasta dinners, as well as a fridge section with cheeses, yoghurts etc. Almost everything you could need for a yummy dinner (especially if you grab some fresh fish from Ripponlea Fish supply next door!) Slightly pricier than the fruit shop down the road but it has a bit more variety - and all the extra non-fruit and veg things!

Lovely fresh fruit, vegies and herbs. I often pick up some fruit on my way to the train station to take to work - yum! The staff are all really friendly too.

This review is for Brumfield, Seville VIC

This has to be the best winery we've been to in the Yarra Valley. It is is lovely, small boutique winery and the owners David and Anda are so friendly, helpful and informative - we learnt a lot about wines and winemaking from chatting with them. The cheese platter had very generous portions and was very tasty and the other food looked delicious - and it's all fabulous value! The fact that the place is also an artspace for local artists and has an open fireplace, makes the atmosphere absolutely perfect! I can't think of a lovelier place to enjoy lovely company, fine wine and beautiful food. We can't wait to visit their new premises onsite and see their vines growing!

This review is for Crabtree River Cottages, Huonville TAS

The loveliest place we stayed at on our Tassie honeymoon! We loved staying in the self-contained crabtree river house section (though the cottages look amazing too). The place has beautiful decor and wonderful fresh provisions for breakfast. The owners Gary and Anna are friendly and helpful and made it a great stay. It's a beautiful place and we still rave about it to all our friends - if you're going to Tassie you must stay there!

This review is for Brunswick Medical Group, Brunswick VIC

Dr. Tina Toh (at Brunswick Medical Group) is THE BEST doctor I have ever seen - she has been so helpful, understanding and professional. The nurse is also fantastic (the flu shot and other vaccinations I've had didn't hurt at all!) and the reception staff are all very friendly too. There is bulk billing for students under 26 (which was great when I was a student under 26... sadly I am no longer!!), children and seniors. The only problem is this medical centre has become so popular that it can be hard to get an appointment (I don't think they're taking on many new patients at the moment) and waiting times can be a while (though aren't they at any medical centre or doctor's surgery?!?)
