Dine and Discover NSW

Hi all,

Has anyone seen the Dine and Discover NSW vouchers??

I am trying to figure out where places will accept it and take the family out for some fun after so much isolation.

      Not that I know of, we haven`t been impacted greatly by Covid. If anything we have gained tourism because no one here wants to travel to the eastern states.

        My daughter lives in Victoria and I haven`t seen her for over a year now. Have had my first Covid jab and have got my ticket booked to fly over. I wonder if Victoria have any perks?

        I think they will have other things to boost the local economy.

    I cant believe our whole family has used all the Dining as we all love eating .
    The easiest way is go to Service NSW as you must have an account and you can download them from your app or PC. The businesses are listed under Participating Businesses and you can search by business name or postcode,

    All my Dine vouchers used but I’ll check out some of the offers for the Discover ones.

    Apologies to those not in NSW – my daughter and partner left to travel around Australia in their fitted out Troopy for 6 mths – a week before they got their vouchers!

    Thanks for all these tips!

    There’s quite a few companies doing matching – here’s some websites with some general ideas and matching:

    We received ours last Wednesday night – had the Dine Vouchers used by Friday!

    Easy to find places to use the Dine vouchers as so many places take them.

    Discover vouchers not so prevalent and I thought they could be used on accommodation but not so – more on experiences or travel agencies.

    I don’t know if there’s a website that lists ALL the places which would be handy.

    You can search for places when you go to the vouchers (Find a business) by entering a suburb – then click on where it comes up with the suburb and postcode.

    Found it tricky as you enter SYDNEY and not much comes up! You need to be specific – for example Taronga Zoo doesn’t come under Sydney but enter MOSMAN or TARONGA and it lists a few.

    I’ve also found Ten Pin Bowling places, Skydiving some cinemas (more regional rather than Hoyts or Event cinemas) and heaps more.

    And some Discover places are eateries! Such as the Taronga Zoo food and beverage and the cafe at an Art Gallery near me.

    Go in and have a search – you’ve only got until June 30 to use these.

        There’s a wildlife park near us Ellyloves called Symbio Koala Garden and I haven’t been there for over 20 years – with playgroup.
        After using the voucher it’s only $14 for adults and I wouldn’t visit otherwise.

        Places we used our Dine vouchers loved it – easy for them to use and they get paid immediately – not a hassle at all.

      Look out for restaurants that will match the $25 voucher. There are a few on the Northern beaches so I`m sure there are some all over Sydney (and in the rest of NSW).

        How do they match the $25 voucher lindylou?
        You either take the voucher or you don’t I thought.

        Disappointed to hear fast food outlets accept the voucher – they’ve boomed during the last year. Thought the whole idea was to help the struggling businesses – we used ours at places in regional NSW over the Easter weekend. Most appreciative we spent our voucher + more with them.

        Onlyoni described it well. When I used mine I just needed to order and pay for my meal and the system (or the till operator) did it automatically. You can`t use it with other offers eg if they normally do a special you can`t use it, but you can use it on the full price one.

        I can answer that question, Kassalee. A lot of businesses are matching the $25 voucher by giving you another $25 to spend so you then have $50 to spend in their restaurant. Some clubs are doing this as well as some restaurants in Sydney.

        I also saw that some of the theatres are doing this for particular shows in Sydney. So, present your voucher at the box office and they will give you another $25 towards the cost of the ticket.

    My sister mentioned this, but I don’t know the details. We were going to look into it. There are so many businesses doing it tough after iso!
