A beautifully presented & aesthetically gorgeous shop to look around in. Quite expensive though, so you definitely pay for the decor & artfully designed shop fit out. On every shelf you will find really lovely things, but it's the kind of place I would only buy from if they had a sale or I was buying a present.

I find this shop very useful for every day kitchen/house things & they aren't as expensive as you might think. I bought some glasses there, wine & water - both really good quality - for very reasonable prices. better than 'house' or any of those shops for value & a great range.

An interesting second hand clothes shop & costume hire shop. Very expensive by most second hand clothes standards - certainly no Savers or Vinnies. They have an amazing range of vintage hippy & 50's, 60's & 70's clothes though if you are looking for that really on the money dress up outfit for a theme party. Not cheap though - be warned!

A really beautiful shop with an unusual & eclectic range of homeware, gift ideas & arty & creative bits & pieces. You could lose a half an hour in there just pottering around, absorbed in the gorgeous things they have to buy. The prices are quite high I think & mostly out of the range of the ordinary shopper though, this is the shop's downfall. I found some really lovely things but I amost gagged when I flipped over the price tag to reveal the price. A place to go when - & if - they have a sale I think.

I love this neat little well stocked chocolate specialty shop in Willi. Always clean, well kept & freshly updated, you won't find anything damaged by heat or past it's use by here. The shop is always kept at the optimal temperature, even on the hottest days, for its delicate stock. A very friendly family owned & run store. You can find almost anything there, including a good range of sugar free sweets for diabetics, which are hard to come by. They have a good range of Easter eggs at Easter & always stock the good quality stuff. A nice selection of boxed & gourmet chocolates, you can find really good presents there.

This review is for Amorosa, Williamstown VIC

Amorosa is a good quality Italian style pizza cafe/restaurant with fresh ingredients, who also have good pasta meals & soups. Service is friendly & quick. The night I went there were a few kids playing on the floor, some of them were ours, & the staff were quite happy for them to play there & were very kind to them. It's nice to have somewhere you can go out with little kids & feel comfortable & welcome.

This is a little cafe/deli where you can find the finest deli & grocery items & also stay for lunch or cake & have a very decent coffee while you're there. It has recently been renovated & has a small but comfortable & cosy area to sit & read the paper while you eat. Delicious home made items & beautiful soups in colder months, all freshly made & reasonably priced. My favourite lunch spot in Willi.

Simon Tribe is Okay Computers. He is a very efficient, super smart & professional operator & will persist with a problem til he finds a solution. His fee is very reasonable & he will come over & check out your pc problem & give you a quote before charging you anything. He is a genuine & honest bloke who won't rip you off & will try his hardest to fix the problem, before it ends up costing you an arm & a leg. I have had nothing but excellent experiences with Simon's work & would not hesitate to recommend him.

This cute little shop houses so much great giftware & also stuff that it is hard to leave behind for yourself! Really lovely & modern, rather than overly 'housey' & kitchen oriented gifts. I always head here first when I have a present to buy. They have two rooms at the back which house the most beautiful & interesting young kid's gifts & toys & games etc., & a great collection of Beanie bears. This is the shop to go to when you are looking for something that is a little different, the kind of stuff you won't find all over the place. It is really hard to leave there without a little gift for yourself!
