Very interesting place to visit. fun exploring all the cells etc...
The man in the office was lovely & let us all do our finger prints on the way out which the kids thought was great.
Could be made into something a bit more wow, but from what I understand the goal is operated & maintained by the Lions Club, and they obviously rely on donations to maintain the buildings etc...
Shame that the council doesn't help maintain such a historical building in Geelong.
Our 7 y/o wants to come back & do the ghost tour next time...I might give that one a miss though!!

Approximate cost: $22

What a surprise this pub was! We were staying in Geelong & have a friend who moved to Bannockburn. We didn't know what to expect...all I can say is YUM!
The meals we had were delicious! I had a vegetable stack on Turkish bread....yum yum yum...hubby & friend had the parmi of the day (mushrooms) and they left nothing on the plate!
The kids meals were good value too. Was about $10 for meal drink & dessert. 1 has the spag bol & other has chicken parma. They were happy with meals too.
They have a great little playroom with toys etc...so kids were in there most of night.
We are looking forward to visiting again!

What a wonderful place to stay!
The experience started when I booked over the phone & spoke to a lovely lady who took the time to explain all the different options etc...
The cabin we booked was a crazy $115 a night for 2 bedrooms 2 adults & 2 kids on a school holiday special. This included all the bedding & the kids each got a colouring book, pencils & a puzzle. They were so excited!
I though maybe they would be very small & average "budget" cabins for that price but I was wrong!
The cabin was the perfect size, lovely & clean & had everything we needed. The kids LOVED that we were opposite the playground & also loved the jumping pillow.
The park was lovely & clean & everything was well maintained.
We have decided already we will return next year!! Thank you for a wonderful break!

This review is for Club Cats Bar And Bistro, Geelong VIC

Had a lovely dinner here. They have a wide variety of meals. The chicken schnitzel was delicious & a very generous size! The kids meals were huge & great value for money. The kids got the pizzas, unfortunately they are just half a roll with toppings & toasted, they must be pre made hours before as the base's were extremely soggy & the kids wouldn't eat them. (even I couldn't stomach the mushy base) The waitress was happy to return them & they made up 2 whole new plates of nuggets for the kids with no fuss, which was great.
They have a little toy/play room there & they gave kids some pencils & pages to colour.
We would happily go back.

This review is for The Cats Shop, Geelong VIC

We are mad Geelong fans & kids were excited to go to the Geelong shop. They have a good variety of things from clothing, hats, books, plush toys etc...
Was a bit disappointed that there is not much of a range for ladies.
Kids were wrapped they got their cat teddy.
Service was a bit average, the lady that served us wasn't rude but lacked what I expected from a sales person in an official club shop...(maybe enthusiasm is what I'm trying to say) she didn't speak to the kids or anything..maybe I'm been fussy, but thought if you were a Geelong fan working in the Geelong shop you could at least say to the kids how cool teddies are etc...

This review is for Mirenesse, Keilor VIC

I love Mirenesse skincare & make up products. They are Aussie made & owned which is GREAT! I buy products through TVSN, where the owner/creator Irene & hubby do awesome deals on prices & really explain what the products are for, what goes into them & more importantly what they don't put in them. And you can actually call up or email the show to ask them questions direct.
The Mirenesse website also has great deals & a lot of free samples you can try.
The secret weapon mascara is the best I have tried & actually does what they claim...
I have just started using their skincare so can't wait to see the results.

What a waste of time joining this site.....I saw some advertising on TV and thought it must be a good site to join & try some samples... how wrong I was. On the face book page a post dated May 24 saying samples are coming soon...but nothing yet. The last post with samples loaded onto website was May 2nd.
Website is confusing. There is no addressor a phone # listed. You can not unsubscribe once you are a member - you don't have a "members profile" page. You can basically log in & log out.
I would not recommend signing up to this site unfortunately.

The kids love coming in here for a treat! They have a great selection of cakes and sweet treats for kids of all ages. (I love the long johns with fresh cream yum!)
We also love the sausage rolls & they have a wide variety of pie flavours. They also have fresh sandwiches & rolls which can be made fresh or some are pre packed ready to go.
The service is always friendly & efficient. But at lunch time be prepared to wait a bit longer - it can get quite busy!

Although I have never purchased from here, I have to say I was very disappointed at my mailbox being bombarded with emails. I didn't even sign up for an account, I stupidly entered my email address to "get todays deals" & the next day I had email after email from them. And none the links to "unsubscribe" worked on any of the emails, neither did the link's address, and I couldn't change my preferences on the website as I didn't have an account! So I ended up emailing them & I did have a reply with in an hour saying I had been unsubscribed...and no emails since.
They do have some good deals & I would have been happy to subscribe if I got an email every few days, not 5+ in one day.

This review is for National Warranty Company Pty Ltd, Traralgon VIC

All I can say is thank goodness this extended warranty cover came free with my car....I would not have paid for it. It really only covers things that would probably never happen to a car you have just purchased & there are lots of exceptions & requirements like having car serviced every 6 months & sending them the invoice within x amount of days of having it done... I had an issue with my cars heater not working & they would not cover whatever needed to be done to have it fixed, they only cover the "air conditioning" parts...would not pay to have this cover...read the PDS/website very closely before a dealer gets you to sign up.
