Our normal place to buy take away pizza was closed & we were looking forward to a pizza....so we decided to try here. I looked at the prices & they were quite expensive...but we ordered any way...for memory it was about $26 for 2 larges.
I have to say they were quite nice...we were not disappointed. We ordered the garlic/cheese & a 4 corners.
Customer service needs be improved greatly.
When my ordered was ready she called out my number & dumped the pizzas on the bench turned & walked away, which I found so rude. No thanks, bye, have a nice night...when I ordered she wasn't overly friendly either...we wouldn't choose to come here again.

We stopped in here, we'd heard lots of advertising for it & that it has a kids playground.
How disappointing...we came on "2 for 1" Tuesday, which we thought was great. Hubby got chicken parma which he said was ok, I had a Mediterranean chicken + veg...yuk. Chicken was ok, sauce just tasted like cream, curried potato wedges were only just cooked, the asparagus was stringy & over done & the roast pumpkin was dry/overcooked.
The meals we had were priced at about $22 each - but you get 1 free...the portions and quality certainly do not equate to $22 for the meal.
The kids had spaghetti & enjoyed that.
The salad bar was also disappointing & lacked variety, 2 types of coleslaw, 2 bowls with plain lettuce & tomatoes & 1 of spud salad...
Kids like the indoor playroom.
The staff were not rude but were not overly friendly either. Even my hubby commented that the barman wasn't very chatty/friendly...
We are not in a hurry to return unfortunately.

This review is for Lakes Entrance Bowls Club, Lakes Entrance VIC

We have eaten here many times before, but this latest time we were happy with some things but disappointed with others...
Firstly, kids play area is great...it is fenced in near entrance so good they are safe, annoying when they want to go in/out/in/out all the time!
We were there for lunch. Kids had toasted cheese sangas, which was great because that's all they felt like. Hubby + I ordered the chicken burger...which was yummy once we got it...unfortunately we waited for about an hour to get it...and they were not overly busy...
One the plus, desserts were yummy & so was the iced coffee.
We would happily come back next time we are in town.

This review is for Killara Holiday Flats, Lakes Entrance VIC

We were looking for affordable accommodation for the school holidays..(which is hard to find, especially with 2 kids) but I stumbled upon his place on the RACV site & we decided to book as the prices were very very reasonable, we booked a 2 bedrom self contained unit for $95 per night.
The pics looked ok and I'll be honest we thought being 3 stars it was going to be very average & outdated... boy were we wrong!
Cheryl the owner was LOVELY, she greeted us at the car as we arrived & offered us 2 different units that we could choose from (in my experience you get what they want to give you) which was great, she was very friendly & welcoming. The property was beautiful & manicured.
The unit was spacious & had everything we needed.
The beds were good, it was spotlessly clean & we loved it.
They have a bbq area with tables & a swing set for kids...laundry, fish cleaning facilities & fish fridge outside.
Location was good too, not in main part of town, in a quiet back street on the Eastern Beach side of town...
This property to me deserves at least 3 & 1/2 stars from AAA tourism!
If you want somewhere that has space, a little home away from home that is comfy & well priced...this is the place
We will definitely be coming back to stay!

Approximate cost: $95

This review is for Traralgon Charcoal Chicken, Traralgon VIC

Love getting dinner from here. Delicious fresh chicken, scallop potato's, chips, burgers & salads. The shop is ALWAYS spotlessly clean, and the staff are always lovely. The service is fast too, even if the shop is packed you will generally have your order in about 5 mins.
The prices seem to be fair & about average to me. I'm happy to pay what it costs because the quality is always great. Yum!

This review is for KFC, Traralgon VIC

verified email - 13 Aug 2013

Who doesn't love KFC? But this store needs to be improved massively! Unfortunately the restaurant cleanliness needs work. And it has the slowest drive thru & walk in service I have ever gotten anywhere. Some days I have waited 10-15 in drive thru for service & walking in can be just as bad or at times worse.
There never seems to be enough staff and no real system to get food to customers quicker.
It has been like this for years...but the food quality is ok, as expected. The staff are always friendly & we are happy to come here on a quiet night!

This review is for O & H Bar & Bistro, Warragul VIC

verified email - 13 Aug 2013

We stopped in here for lunch on Sunday. They offer a limited lunch menu selection, that all cost $16.95 & include a beer/wine or soft drink...so not bad value. The options were ok...parma, schnitzel, steak, chicken salad, burger and a few others. Hubby & I both ordered the porterhouse steak.
The meals were lovely but we got half a bit of steak each, which for me was ok, buy hubby was left a bit hungry - but the quality was great. Kids enjoyed their kids meals too.
We also treated ourselves to desserts, the kids choc mousse was YUMMY and they gave them a massive serving each so mum & dad got some too! Hubby had the berry cheesecake which was also very yum.
The staff were very friendly & helpful.
Kids loved the indoor playroom too, kept them occupied & happy!
We would happily come back for lunch or dinner :)

This review is for Coles Insurance, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 24 Jul 2013

I have switched both my home/contents & car insurance to Coles insurance. The policy covers were pretty much identical as I had with other companies only a bit cheaper. What makes it worthwhile to me is the added bonus of extra flybuys points which quickly add up!
The application process was easy to do online & you get a further 10% if you complete online.
I did have to call them a few times & the call was answered pretty much immediately & the staff were very friendly.
I cant comment on making claims yet. I am hoping I will never have to!
Like all insurance, you have to make sure it suits what you want for the money you can afford. For us Coles offers great value for money.

This review is for A Maze 'N Things, Barrabool VIC

verified email - 06 Jul 2013

Good, fun day out for a family.
It cost us approx. $40 for 2 adults + 2 kids to do the mini golf & the maze.
The mini golf is set out like a maze. Good fun, but in need of some maintenance, in a few areas the path bricks were all wonky & unstable, quite a tripping hazard.
The maze was lots of fun & very frustrating! We were lost in there for about 1 & 1/2 hours! You get a card to get stamped at each of the four towers you have to find & when you have done that & get out, the kids get a little prize which was nice.
There were plenty of emergency exits if you are totally lost!
We would come back again, if the kids love it we are happy!

Approximate cost: $40

This review is for The Carousel, Geelong VIC

verified email - 06 Jul 2013

A must do when in Geelong. The carousel in enclosed indoors which is great & it has toilets! All important when you have kids! It's located right on the waterfront so there are lovely views as you spin around.
The ride goes for about 5 mins & cost about $4 per child, and I didn't have to pay to get on with out 2 y/o which is always nice.
The kids enjoyed the ride on the horses which are all beautifully restored.
The only bad comment I have is when I was at the counter purchasing the tickets the girl excused herself in the middle of serving me to go and open the gates for the people getting off. So maybe they could have a better system for that.

Approximate cost: $4
