Never tried here before. Felt like something different other than Chinese so hubby suggested here. He likes noodle dishes & I love fried rice.
Firstly, he is home about 15 minutes after leaving - so quick!
The rice was beautiful, I ate the whole serving! It was so fresh & tasty, and hubby loved his noodles.

Would happily come back here again! Very reasonable prices too...was $22 for the 2 dishes.

We decided to have a catch up here with a few other mums after we had heard it had been renovated & changed owners. I had come here years ago & they have a lot of space outside - good for kids to rum around...used to have a cubby house & toys inside...and the cakes + scones were delicious!

It didn't start off well...they are only open 3 days a week, so I left a message to make booking...was no call back to confirm ok. Turn up on time, lady wasn't overly friendly said table was outside, didn't take me outside to point out which one..go out, no table set up for us, so push a few together to make enough room.

She brings out menus + water, all good. Menu for morning tea not very substantial, no scones, nothing really for kids, and limited cakes (was 3 or 4 choices I think) So we all go to order...no problems, prices are ok.

There was only 4 mums + 2 kids & it took ages (we were the only ones there!) to get everything, coffees were luke warm at best, cake was nice, and one lady was still waiting for her coffee after we had all finished everything....

Service was very poor & she didn't give the impression she was happy to be there!
Not much for little kids to do outside now, cubby was gone, few games to play like quoits that kept them happy for a while.
We wont hurry back I'm afraid...could be a real little gem - so much potential..

Yum! I went here over a year ago for their Tapas & it was really good for memory I had garlic chicken, dips platter + churros for dessert.

But most recently I went to the front of the restaurant which they have converted into a little café that make great coffee & sell all sorts of tempting house make chocolates & pasteries..so good! You can get take away for sit inside or outside.

Great place for morning or afternoon tea at reasonable prices.

I would have loved to give this venue more stars but on the night I am writing about it was very very disappointing...

The venue is lovely, we sat outside on the Sunday night to watch the greyhounds race, which was awesome, kids loved been trackside. They also have a play area inside with a few toys but overly exciting & a playground outside down the other end of the complex to the bistro

Our meals were delicious & would happily dine there again. They are a bit over priced but food was good.

HOWEVER...our night left our 2 boys very sad...with the kids meal (which by the way is about $11) they state the kids get their meal, drink & toy/gift. On ordering we were told no toys...there was no offer to discount the kids meals, offer a dessert in it's place..nothing...so my 8 y/o was very distraught & crying (it's like the end of the world when u are 8 and promised a gift & u get nothing!) so I promised them a dessert...a frog in the pond did the trick.

We go to order dessert...sorry no frogs in the pond...they don't want ice cream really...just jelly...ok option 2 a hot choc fudge sundae - who doesn't love 1 of those? So I order & confirm it comes with hot choc fudge not topping.. yes...when it comes out what a surprise...not choc fudge just topping. I was a bit over it by this stage so didn't bother complaining...it was still nice.

Overall the night was good, but could have been a whole lot better.

Awesome business! Coffee is always great, driveway service with a smile, and great value for money. Love that they also have muffins (orange poppy seed is my fav) pies, toasted sandwiches, freshly squeezed oj & giant cookies which the kids love!

They have a customer loyalty card - every 6th is free. Babychinos are free if you buy a coffee or 50c on their own which is great value! A medium coffee is $4.

Well worth stopping in for a drive thru coffee, hot choc and/or a snack!

We just happened to pull up to the Maldon station at the right time, the train was leaving in 15 mins & the kids really wanted to go...so we thought why not...so we paid our $75 family fare for the return trip.

Due to dry conditions they had a diesel running not the steam train...but it didn't matter.

It was a great little trip from Maldon - Castlemaine & took about 45 minutes. The kids enjoyed seeing the countryside, farms & we even saw some kangaroos.

The only negative thing I have to say is the windows needed to be washed on the carriages, but on the way back we sat in a different carriage where the kids could stick their heads out the window so they were happy.

Well worth a visit, a great family day out :)

Approximate cost: $75

We used Bosse for our new Colourbond roof. The quote was competitive & they gave a discount of about $500 if we confirmed the job within 7 days of his quote. When I contacted to get a quote he came on his way home the arvo.

The roof was finished in 2 days in the middle of a Victorian heatwave! So they guys came early (6am) & finished by 1ish.

They guys were all polite & cleaned up the mess before they left.

Wouldn't hesitate to call them again if we needed a plumber or roofer again.

Approximate cost: $9500

Love the pancake parlour, you can go into any one of them & know your meal will pretty much taste the same.

Staff were ok, very quick to see if we wanted drinks - we had only just sat down & not even picked up a menu...which was kind of annoying. Then once we had our meals we asked for 2 glasses of water that never came...

They are still very expensive, it cost us $67 for 2 main size tabriz pancakes & 2 kids cheese pancakes & 2 kids drinks...
They charged $7.20 for kids pancakes & my son wanted apple juice so charged $4.10 for kids juice...they need to look at making it more family price friendly, at least include a drink for the kids...

The restaurant & restrooms were clean.

Coming here is a treat, there's no way we could afford to come here too often...but the food is very tasty :)

Approximate cost: $24

I found this motel on a last minute accommodation site & they had a deal for $195 + breakfast so I rang them direct, she firstly told me $195 for the room only but after I asked about the online deal she said they would do that for me. (I wouldn't have paid $195 room only...there were a few other cheaper options)

We stayed in the family room with a queen + 2 singles, it was very clean & large for a motel room. Linen was good quality.

They offer free wifi & have indoor pool, spa + sauna.

Good location on the highway, but also very quiet. We weren't bothered by road noise at all.

The breakfast was a continental buffet, so we ate up! (they had cereals, toast, fruit, yoghurts, juice, coffee (cappuccino/latte whatever you likes) hot chocolates & tea) The man in there serving was very friendly & quick to replace things that were running low.

The staff at reception were ok, polite I guess, but not really talkative or friendly.
When I checked in the man took a call while serving me, didn't say "will you excuse me so I can answer call..." or say to the person on phone please hold on for a moment I'm serving someone which I found a bit annoying...

When we checked out we weren't asked if everything was ok/did we enjoy or "see you later, enjoy your day" it was just thanks, bye. I don't expect a big fuss but making people feel welcome to the motel or wishing them a good day on check out would leave a better impression...

Overall a nice clean comfortable motel.

Approximate cost: $195

We loved coming here the first night we staying in Bendigo so much, we came back the second night for dinner too!

Beautiful relaxing resort décor in the bistro.
Great toy room for kids, 1 room with Xboxes & 1 with toys. They also had ipads for the kids at no charge, they just hold a c/c as a deposit.

They start serving dinner at 5.30 which is great as our kids are starving by then, and it was nice & quiet.

Service was very quick, the kids meals (which include a drink + ice cream) were on the table in about 5 mins from when we ordered. Our meals were not too far behind...when we finished the plates were collected also within a few minutes.

Great selection of meals for adults & kids, including lasagne's, nuggets, pie of the day, roasts, club sandwiches steak, steak s/s, pastas etc...

Would highly recommend for kids entertainment, quality meals & great value.
