This review is for Wine Odyssey, Sydney NSW

There are lots of wines, from everyday to very special (including Grange), to taste by the glass, and all kept under nitrogen to maintain freshness. We ordered a white flight and a red flight, each consisting of three tapas style dishes with three tasting glasses of wine. It provided a wonderful range of tastes and the food was all well cooked and nicely presented. We finished with a cheese sharing plate, which was a well-chosen selection of four cheeses, of contrasting types, with three accompaniments. These included something which was quite a revelation - honeycomb with olive oil and garlic. This went better with the blue cheese than anything I can remember tasting. Really excellent, and if you are interested in wine, this is a place you must not miss, the food and wine are just superb and it is little pricey but so worth the money for great food and wine.

This review is for The Glenmore Hotel, The Rocks NSW

verified email - 10 Sep 2013

The Glenmore used to be my local hotel when I lived in the rocks area many years ago and the hotel has fantastic food and brilliant views of Sydney harbour, every time I use to eat at the Glenmore I always ordered the home made fish cakes, the pink lady & rocket salad, the Juicy Black Angus sirloin, topped with crisp onions, and the fish & chips. Good portions, friendly service and a good selection of beer on the tap.

Ive been to coco cubano a few times and have ordered the hazelnut hot chocolate and it was made with real chocolate and it was rich and smooth, definitely the best hot chocolate Ive ever had. The menu was pretty good with burgers and fish and chips at $15, nachos at $15 also and a range of tapas dishes and pizza at an even lower price, loved the service I received and was very happy.

Been here a few times and they sell fantastic coffee and food, A great cafe offering freshly made muffins and treats, as well as excellent Toby's Estate coffee, for my usual morning or afternoon snack. They do offer a variety of great breakfast choices, yummy sandwiches (toasted), freshly squeezed juices, and reasonably priced drinks and friendly staff.

This review is for Full Moon Hotel, Sandgate QLD

I went to full moon with a friend of mine and we both ordered the chicken, mash n veggies dish and both our meals were under cooked, our steak was really red raw and our mash potatoes were quite gluggy but apart from that I really enjoyed the night, The Full Moon Hotel has all the makings of a great local, great view and open plan dining and kids room for the children.

This review is for Atkinson Dam Waterfront Caravan Park, Coominya QLD

What a fabulous caravan park site to take your family to, I took the children here last year for the Christmas holidays and I was very impressed with the site, The cabin we were in was brand new. it has a comfy little verandah, lounge/kitchen area with a water purifier so we always had fresh water. The bathroom was compact but we didn't need more and the bed was so comfortable. The children and I had such a fantastic time that we are planning our 2nd visit shortly, I was happy with how the staff made us very welcome on arrival and made our holiday so worth the while.

This review is for Crystal Creek Caravan Park, Mutarnee QLD

This is a great caravan park 60kms north of Townsville. I took my family on holidays here and wow we had a wonderful time here. The owners are lovely people and go out of their way to make you feel at home. The park was very tidy and well spaced between vans. The amenities were exceptionally clean. There is a huge camp kitchen with all necessities as well as a lounge and tv. Plenty of room to walk the dog along the creek. We were totally impressed with this park and the price was excellent for a family, we paid $220 for a family of 6 and I was very impressed with the caravan site and cabin, will be back in the near future.

Approximate cost: $220
