Tin Pan Alley is a favourite for us to take the family to for dinner and to get takeaway pizza too. The mushroom pizza is amazing. They also do tasting plates to share (or have as an entree) , I love the spiced cauliflower fritti with paprika mayo. They do a small seasonal mains selection which are great too. Always a great changing menu. The dessert doughnuts with honey are incredible.

Approximate cost: $15 for takeaway pizza

Yummy pies that are made in the store. Great value pies when you buy two family pies you get one free. The best chicken pies in the area too.

My children have been having lessons here for about 18 months. They love going especially my 3 year old. The instructors have given my 5 year old so much confidence as he was very anxious about swimming and would not put his head in the water when he started. Now he swims under water and can float on his back alone. They are members of Surf Life Saving Australia and use their Swim and Survive Program.
The school is in an old warehouse & it has communal showers & one family change room which is enough. It's also a club that has swimming squads & training too.
They're only closed 2 weeks a year so the kids get lots of continuity.
I've been really happy with the way my children are learning to swim here and would recommend them to anyone that needs to learn to swim.

Approximate cost: $14 per lesson

I send my kids to the casual care here. The staff are friendly and nice enough. The centre is brightly coloured with lots of plastic toys. There is no outdoor garden as such because it's not on the ground level but they have a big outdoor deck area that they are making more child friendly.
My son love doing the craft activities and it's good for him for a couple of hours. Suits me when I'm at the gym.

We had dinner on Friday night and most of us ordered the open lamb souvlaki. It was delicious but the salad was a let down. The meat was chunky and tender and well seasoned. I could have had a plate of that and diips and bread. We also ordered some calamari for the kids and that was yummy too. Some potato dish- can't remember it's name but it was supposed to be crispy potato with crumbled feta just tasted like dodgy burnt home made attempt at crisps. With about a teapoon of feta all over. Yuk!
The food was good and bad. Would go back just for the lamb but on a half price tuesday.

Approximate cost: $28

Really friendly professional salon. Have only had waxing done but they do spray tans and other beauty services too.

Went there for dinner this week. Had a delish calamari but it was sooooo salty. The rest of the meals were nice. Hot chocolate was just bland. Dessert crepes were yummy.
Waitress was a bit vague but nice enough.
Will go again but ask for no salt.

Approximate cost: $25

Recently went there for dinner.
Awesome french influenced food and the desserts are fabulous. Try the chocolate fondant or the creme brulee.
They just need to sell coke!

I have bought meat from here a few times always with dissappointing results. The cuts of meat are cheap and nasty and that is why they were cheap. Grisle and fat is hidden on the underside of the packaging. Sometimes you just get what you pay for.

The staff at this centre are fabulous. They are so great and genuinely love their jobs.
The centre is great with really natural themes and no garish coloured rooms like many other centres I looked at.
The food always smells great when I arrive to drop off my kids.
They have a very strong environmental focus, they teach the kids how to be green There a child let philosophy that runs through the centre.
