  • Perfect for entertaining

    I love our pasta maker and so do the family and the extended family. I have to say that it has made entertaining a breeze as everyone can socialise and chat while the pasta is being made for lunch and dinner. Entertaining is actually pretty cheap too and definitely cheaper than an Italian restaurant.

  • Why I gave 5 STARS!!!

    I would hands down recommend the Philips Pasta and Noodle Maker to others!!! So I really enjoy fresh pasta but with 3 little munchkins in toe now I don’t really have the time to make it.. the old fashion way. A few of my friends have “other” pasta making machines and I have asked them to show me how there’s work. Of course I had to have a taste test as well. HANDS DOWN the Philips machine is quicker, easier to operate and the taste of the pasta far out accomplishes the “others”. I have even convinced one of my friends to get rid of their machine and buy the Philips brand!

    The Philips Pasta & Noodle Maker is quicker than expected to use.. oh yes it is! So I did a time test..
    – 2 minutes to get out machine, all ingredients, plug in and place ingredients into the machine
    – 15 minutes for all pasta to be made, cut and drying on a pasta rack
    – 12 minutes to wash and set to air dry
    – I min and 30 sec to pack up and put away (after drying but who stands there and watches it dry right… )
    TOTAL – 30.5 minutes
    Those of you who have ever made fresh pasta know that you would barely be done needing the dough let alone be cleaned up and packed away!

    The Philips Pasta & Noodle Maker is suitable for lots of recipes.. Of course, I was even able to cater for family members with food allergies.. when I told them we were having fresh pasta they gave me the look of “Ok and what am I getting to eat”. The response from family was “Where did you buy it and exactly what is in it”. I was able to show them the recipe, and even prepared it right in front of them. What can I say it was a dinner the whole family was involved in!

    The Philips Pasta & Noodle Maker brings back the joy of cooking at a whole new level!!! All the family is involved and for our 10 year wedding anniversary my darling husband even pulled out machine and made dinner with the kids all by themselves.
    I love the fact the whole family is involved and we are improving our quality of eating by being able to hide lots of veggies from the kids and even making some fabulous pasta salads to have as a side dish.

    I honestly swear by the Philips Pasta and Noodle maker, I was so sceptical that it was going to be hard, too time consuming and really just a pain to have in our kitchen. It has become one of the family bringing us all together at meal time, thank you from a very happy mummy and her family!

  • Making life easy

    Well it has happened…. I managed to make a least 2 pasta dishes a week using my Phillips Pasta and Noodle maker.

    It is so easy and so much fun for the kids to get involved. The kids take turns in measuring everything out and Master 5 has even mastered cracking eggs! Now if little Miss 2 and Master 1 could crack eggs without getting shells into it, I would be onto a real winner!

    This miracle maker machine not only churns out pasta at lightening speed but is easy to clean up afterwards. Just as an added bonus it all packs away compactly and conveniently…

    I am very happy to say that I finally after many years look forward to getting in the kitchen with new little friend the Phillips Pasta and Noodle maker!

  • To feed a small army!

    We had a surprise visit at our house last night from another family – that meant 11 mouths to feed! While I would normally be uninspired, and horrified by this situation, I had a lightbulb moment, and decided to make fresh pasta for all of us. A quick sauce using passata, garlic and fresh basil from the garden, and we had a wonderful evening. Thanks Phillips and MoM for the opportunity to give this fantastic pasta maker a ‘whirl’!

  • MIGHTY MEATBALLS AND PASTA MADE IN THE PHILIPS PASTA AND NOODLE MAKER

    I was needing a quick mid week recipe for my boys. Having the Philips Pasta and Noodle Maker on hand the problem was solved. As I got onto making the tomato sauce and meatballs, my 2 sons aged 8 and 10 got onto making the pasta. The machine is so easy to use, they love it.
    The beauty of this pasta is that all components can be frozen. Extra meat balls and tomato sauce and be frozen for another meal.
    I did find the pasta a little firm to the bite, so I recommend cooking it a little longer.

  • Philips Pasta Maker makes an awesome lasagne!!!

    Tonight I decided to use my Philips Pasta Maker to make a Béchamel Lasagne. I used the wide disc to make the sheets. From previous experience, after the pasta was made, I precooked the sheets for about 10 minutes in boiling water before putting the lasagna together and cooking it in the oven.
    Pasta from the Philips machine I have found to be a little firm to eat. I have made cannelloni before and the family commented that the pasta was a bit thick and firm after cooking. Today I found that by pre boiling the sheets of pasta the lasagna turned out fantastic. I will definitely do this again in the future.

  • All Sorts of Pasta!!

    I was so surprised when I open this machine to find not only does it do penne style and spaghetti/noodles but it also does sheets of pasta. So I used an old favourite recipe of ravioli and replace the usual wonton sheets with this freshly made pasta. The extrusion process meant that I could cut the sheets to the exact size I wanted as they came out and I could start filled them straight away.
    They were so fresh and tasty and we can’t wait to make more and try the sheets for lasagne.

  • That really exciting moment... when the pasta starts being extruded!!!

    Tonight was a quick, basic pasta night. We made a basic durum spaghetti, which is such a quick and easy process. While the pasta was mixing in the chamber, I quickly made a basil pesto. Including cooking time, a completely homemade, packet-free meal was made in about 20 minutes. A winner with hubby, Miss 8, Mr 10, and being so quick and easy – Mummy!!

  • Reduces my time, and healthier for the kids!

    I have been making my own pasta for a while, using the old hand turn machine. It always took me a long time to finish, and this then made me lazy, despite home made pasta being so much better and tastier. I then invested in the Phillips Pasta & Noodle Maker, and oh boy, what a difference it has made to my life. I no longer have to do the dough the same, or use my hands to turn the wheel 5 or 6 times per sheet. It is amazing. My kids say it even makes “real spaghetti”, and now just thin linquine as in the hand held machines. Highly recommended!!

  • Fresh and delicious pasta easily and quickly made

    I love my Philips Pasta & Noodle Maker. My family loves it. Fresh pasta and noodles is easily and quickly made with this appliance. Put the flour, egg and water in the appliance and it shoots out the pasta. How easy is that. Being fresh, the pasta cooks much quicker than the dried pasta. The appliance is also very easy to clean. I leave it for a few hours and then it is a matter of picking off the dried pasta dough from the attachments. Very useful for us as we eat a lot of pasta and noodles.

  • Love this machine

    Recently purchased the Philips Pasta and Noodle Maker and WOW one of my best kitchen gadgets. It is so easy to use and saves you money too. Just make sure your pasta sauce and water to cook your pasta is ready to go, then follow exactly the instructions in the easy to understand instruction book and within minutes of turning your machine on pasta is extruding from the head of the machine . Next put it into your boiling water and it’s cooked in minutes. Even my husband watches in amazement .

  • We Love Our Philips Pasta & Noodle Maker

    I have been very impressed with the Philips Pasta & Noodle Maker. It’s so easy to use, that even my kids know how to measure and make the pasta.
    I no longer buy pasta, as the Philips Pasta & Noodle Maker makes such a tastier, fresher pasta each time, we much prefer to make our own!
    The setting up and cleaning can be a little bit involved but, once you know what you are doing, it gets easier and faster each time.
    We love eating our fresh, home made pasta! Great work Phillips!

    I only just received my machine as a birthday present so I have only used it once. We made some yummy fettuccine. I was surprised at how quickly the pasta was made. The machine was easy to operate, and whilst the cleaning was a bit more cumbersome than I expected as you pull out all the various parts it was very easy to clean. I also love the draw underneath to store all the parts.

  • It's very quick and easy yo use. Children can do it!

    I love my Philips Pasta Maker, it’s a very easy to use machine and the kids love using it. I like the flexibility of it – using it to make noodles for Asian dishes too. The one thing I don’t like is that the texture of the pasta is not as good as when you use s traditional pasta machine. I think this is due to the short kneading time and single extrusion. I’ve tried s lot of different recipes but it doesn’t change the texture – it lacks that smooth, silken feel of the traditional way. It doesn’t really matter once the pasta is cooked, but it is certainly something to be aware of, especially given it is an expensive machine. I still think it was worth every (on sale) penny.

  • Angel hair pasta

    I was lucky enough to receive additional attachments for the Philips Pasta and Noodle Maker. One of these attachments makes Angel Hair pasta/noodles. I decided to give it a go to serve with bolognaise instead of the usual spaghetti. It turned out really well and I actually enjoyed it as a change from spaghetti as it was a bit lighter. It seems to go a bit further too as it’s much thinner than the other varieties. It only takes about 4 minutes to cook too, so it’s a bit of a winner all round! A friend makes egg noodles – angel hair noodles cut in about 2cm lengths. She says they go really nicely in a chicken broth, so I’m going to try this next. I think you use egg only and no water. I’ll post the results.

  • Gourmet parsley pasta

    Tonight I made parsley thick flat pasta. I was lucky enough to get some additional fittings for the Philips Pasta and Noodle Maker, and gave the thick flat noddle attachment a go. I recently saw some gourmet pasta being sold at a local farmers market, and one of the flavors was parsley. I thought “I could make that”! I simply added 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley to the usual recipe, and it turned out brilliantly! It had a distinct parsley flavour and added a great freshness to the pasta. I just love that this machine allows you to be so creative!

School holidays are usually a mix of excitement and mild panic. No lunchboxes (yay!) and no morning chaos. But figuring out how to keep the kids entertained without turning the house upside down or testing your sanity is the flip side!

We’re serving up a couple of fabulous winter school holiday options that are tried-and-true crowd-pleasers – and they feel like a day out for everyone, not just the kids.



Whether you’ve got little ones bouncing off the walls or teens too cool to smile, Zone Bowling and Timezone have something for every age (yes, even you). And with winter weather keeping us mostly indoors, they’re the perfect solution when parks and play centres just aren’t cutting it.

They’re fun, indoors, great value, and actually make you feel like you’ve had a proper day out… not just one of those ‘I need a nap after that’ outings.

Why Zone Bowling And Timezone Always Come Through

There’s something about Timezone that just hits different. The mix of lights, sounds and excitement pulls you in from the second you walk through the doors. You’ll find the latest arcade games, laser tag and bumper cars as well as viral sensations like Pixel and Colourgrid. Basically everything kids could want, all in one (warm) place.

And it’s not just for them. Whether you’re a closet arcade expert or a skill tester freak, it’s very easy to get swept up in the excitement.

What’s on this winter at Timezone?

Timezone is running its Fun Frenzy promotion for a limited time. The more you load onto your Powercard, the more bonus credit you score:

  • Load $100, get $60 bonus game credit
  • Load $80, get $45 bonus game credit
  • Load $60, get $30 bonus game credit

That’s a whole lot of extra play time without paying extra. No bookings, no stress, just load up and get stuck into the action.

Visit Timezone and find your nearest location.

Deals are for a limited time only. Terms and Conditions apply. See website for full offer details.

Zone Bowling: So much more than just bowling

If you haven’t been to a Zone Bowling in a while, you might be surprised by just how much they’ve packed in. Of course, there’s bowling, with proper shoes and shiny lanes and that satisfying sound of a strike – but that’s just the beginning.

There’s also arcade games, laser tag, food and drink (decent coffee!), plus comfy spaces to hang while the kids run wild. It’s the kind of place where everyone – toddlers, teens, tired parents – can find something to enjoy.

And the best part? The Fun Zone Passes.

They bundle everything up into one easy purchase, so you don’t have to keep reaching for your wallet every five minutes. Here’s what you can grab:

  • Mini Fun Zone Pass – $27.90
  • Mega Fun Zone Pass – $34.90
  • Ultimate Fun Zone Pass – $39.90

Each pass includes a mix of bowling, arcade games, Power Tickets (which kids can cash in for prizes), and more. It’s fantastic value, and makes planning your day so much easier.

Book your Fun Zone Pass now before the holidays slip away.

Timezone And Zone Bowling: Kind of Day Out That Doesn’t Feel Like a Chore

Some school holiday outings sound fun in theory, but in practice? You’re exhausted, the kids are cranky, and no one’s really had a great time.

Timezone and Zone Bowling feel different. You’re indoors, warm, everything’s in one place, and you can actually relax while the kids entertain themselves (or team up with you for a round of laser tag). No weather worries, no logistics nightmare. Just good, clean, high-energy fun that ticks everyone’s box.

Ready to swap screen battles for smiles all round? Timezone and Zone Bowling make it happen, every single time – rain, hail or shine. Bring on the holiday fun!

  • The kids love going to Timezone, especially after being dragged around the shopping center! With 5 years between them it can be hard to find things they both enjoy but Timezone keeps them both happy, occupied and entertained! It’s also a great way to bribe them while we shop 😂

  • Our family loves Timezone and kingpin. Theres always so much to do and always new games and toys to try out. It can definitely be costly though as you keep tapping away! We love the unlimited time play packages and often enjoy topping up on those special double dollar days to stretch it further.

  • We will happily be off to visit Timezone during the holidays for some fun times. We all have favourite games to play. It is such a good idea to stick to a budget when visiting Timezone. Planning before going to Timezone is a good idea and helps to make good decisions and the fun last.

  • It is absolutely so true! We went to our local timezone yesterday to reward some brave behaviour at the dentist and kick off our holiday fun. We had an absolute blast! The games had all been revamped and there was new stuff everywhere. The prizes are okay.. not great! The price to points could be more kindly proportioned. I mean 1000’s of points for a bag of lollies… Cost us a fortune to get them. Not at all as cost effective for a lot of people. I can only ever afford to get $60 at most and am so grateful for the bonus points at least. But when you consider it as $2.50 min per swipe of your card, you’ll burn through it within the hour. Still, we’ll be back for more joy!

  • IN fact my husband took the kids bowling today while I was off doing something else – it was a great solution. They had an enourmous amount of fun, it didn’t cost too much, and the timing was just about perfect for my appointment. It’s definitely a great family activity. So Fun.

  • We really do love going to Timezone for all of the fun activities that we all enjoy playing. Bowling is a firm family favourite activity to play and brings out the competition in all of us. It is a good option for indoor activities and fun for all of the family.

  • Finding holiday activities is always difficult, especially with teens! Life is so busy that it can be really hard to even think about where to go and what to do, these ideas are going on my list for this holidays entertainment. Thanks Mouth of Mums for making my life easier

  • Unfortunately, we don’t have anything that good here in Tassie. Our local bowling centre is very expensive and doesn’t have all the extras of some others. They do do school holiday specials though which are okay, but they don’t allow guard rails for adults anymore, so it’s not very fun for me :(.

  • Another nice one for those who live in Brisbane is Urban Extreme; an ultimate experience of rock climbing, dodge ball, ski lanes, snowboarding, ninja, parkour, laser tag, trampolines, play area and an adventure park all together. With what they offer there is always something also the older kids and possibly parents like

  • Things like Bounce, Time Zone and Zone Bowling never fail for most, but they are not for everyone; the mix of lights, sounds and excitement can be a massive sensory overload for those who are sensitive for that which can lead to complete panic attacks by some kids. Besides this not everyone likes bowling (we have one family member who really doesn’t like this)

  • We head to timesone whenever we go near the Gold coast or Sunshine Coast. The kids have the absolute best time. I have not taken the kids bowling in a long time but it is my birthday this week so think it is a fantastic time to give it a go!

  • Our family loves Timezone!! We definitely call ourselves regulars throughout the year. A great time where we can test our skill at claw machines and have a blast with the kids. My daughter’s favourite is driving me around on the racing game – definitely core memories unlocked! Its so fun all the time.

  • My kids do enjoy Zone bowling- we’re regular visitors even during term time. And it’s fun for everyone in the family and it’s easy to invite a friend or two to join in if you’re so inclined. Not hard to learn if you’re a b3ginner – and you don’t need equipment either.

  • Timezone often has good deals on and is lots of fun.

  • Bowling is such a fun thing to do for school holidays with kids, I even picked it as my 10 year birthday treat. Timezone is a classic day out. I remember when the photo booth stickers were new and everyone’s diary was covered in them. We have a carnival in town over the holiday break so that’s out plan! Free entry, woo

  • Kids love school holiday’s but my credit card doesn’t!!!!! I love Zone bowling, it is such a fun place to take the kids too. My daughter loves to bowl and finish off playing a few games afterwards. I am yet to take her to Timezone but it is on our list to try this year.

  • I LOVE school holidays! I think preparation is the key to having a cheap yet successful one. I always start the holidays with a sheet on the wall with a list of free activities such as – hide and seek, read a book, do a puzzle, bake something etc.
    we have a rule in the house that you can’t say ‘there’s nothing to do’ or ‘I’m bored’ because there’s a list full of fun activities. We then have a few scheduled paid activities such as cinemas, Timezone and bowling! Bring your own snacks and you’ll save even more!
