Thought I might share some of my positive Melbourne group buying deals :)
SPREETS $49 deal for eight courses Japanese banquet (plus Drinks) for two people
Bentoya (was known as Eat Drink Bento)
115 Hardware Street,
Melbourne
http://spreets.com.au/deal/Melbourne/restaurants-and-bars/56…
I bought 3 coupons and we went as a group of 7 people. The staff was very friendly, the portions were generous. And this restaurant deserve plus point for not counting rice & miso soup as a "course"! The eight courses were comprised of actual main meals (i.e. soft shell crab, sashimi and fried chicken). Excellent value! I wish they would advertise again! However, I would gladly go back there even without any group buying deals.
CUDO $49 a half-hour massage & 10 access passes to Melbourne City Baths
Melbourne City Baths
420 Swanston St
Melbourne

In the last couple of months, whenever I went to city bath I am always expecting the gym to be really crowded - but it was never the case! Despite my initial reservation this turns out to be a great experience. Had no problem booking the massage for a Saturday afternoon session. The masseuse went over 30 minutes and she even wrote me a receipt for $49 to claim with my insurance. I have nothing but praise for Melbourne City Bath and staff.
CUDO $80 1/2 day kayaking adventure trip from Breakaway Adventures for $39
http://www.breakawayadventures.com.au
We get to choose one of the following 1/2 day adventure: abseiling, rock climbing or a kayaking adventure. We bought 3 deals and choosed to try out kayaking. Had a lot of fun on the day. Even though we arrived 20 minutes late, the guide was very friendly and no attitude at all. Throughout the day I feel very safe and looked after even though it was my first kayaking trip. I would like to point out that the booking process was not as efficient as I had expected though. A couple of time when I called there was no one to answer the phone. When I asked for email confirmation it took about a week to arrive in my inbox…
