Have just had Grant out to install new kitchen benchtops. Quality product and he's done a great job and I'm fussy. Very pleased. The kitchen looks so classy and Grant is very likable and friendly. I would definitely recommend using this service.

Don't be put off by the location. It's in a 'Resort' which is more like a youth hostel. The decor is a bit tacky and outdated, but the food was great. Authentic greek and delicious.

Fantastic. This place is only 1 year old. Apartments are well designed, generous in size, quality design and features, great view, clean and beautiful. My husband wanted to move in. Close to everything, has 2 pools, family friendly and we got a great deal through Travel Zoo. Would go back in a heartbeat. Loved it.

We hadn't been here for years but had such fond memories. Looked forward to dining here again. The fish and chips, for which they are famous, was so disappointing. The portion sizes were very small, but with a high price and although the flathead was delicious, very small, but delicious, the whiting was flavourless as were the chips. Over priced and disappointing. Eat elsewhere.

Stayed nearby and dined here a couple of times. Food was fabulous, a little pricey but worth it. Great setting on the water watching the tour boats come in but average service. Would recommend.

Also found this place whilst on holiday. Very friendly lovely couple who own and run the cafe. Great breakfast was enjoyed by us. Homey vibe - would recommend.

This review is for Chiangmai Thai Restaurant, Surfers Paradise QLD

This is where I fell in love with thai food. This restaurant is in a beautiful setting and the staff, particularly the women, are dressed in lovely, traditional garments. They also have 2 other restaurants in Broadbeach and Nobby Beach, which I have not tried but are owned by the same people. Amazing food.

Love, love, love this place. The best calamari and lamb shaslicks. This place is always busy, need to book weeks in advance. If ordering takeway, order early (before 6pm) or be prepared to wait an hour or more. Portions are generous, quality is fantastic. If dining in this restaurant is very loud - be warned. It's worth it, but can be too much.

What a fabulous find this place was. Specialises in jewellery, gifts, collectables and fashion accessories from France. I'm an earring nut and have bought about 4 pairs from here, all around the $180 mark. Lovely little shop - worth a visit.

If you're looking for somewhere special to eat and don't mind paying a bit more, then this place is fantastic. Overlooking the water, the service is great and the food delicious without being pretentious. Can't wait to go back.
