This review is for Sunset Wardrobes, Bathurst NSW

verified email - 12 Aug 2012

We have used this company twice now. They provide wardrobes and balconies for new and old homes.

The price was very good compared to other businesses. Our initial quote was comparable to other quotes and they reduced after they had measured up and costed the materials. I was impressed with their honesty.

The quality of the work was excellent and the workman completely cleaned up after themselves when they were finished. The only difficulty we had was communication about quotes and the job. Slow to respond to emails or phone calls and we had to chase them up.

Overall I am very pleased with the quality, workmanship and cost. It was worth the initial frustrating communication problems once the jobs were completed.

This review is for REX - Regional Airlines Express, Bathurst NSW

verified email - 12 Aug 2012

I have to fly to Sydney regularly for work. Rex airplanes provide basic comfort. I have found them always clean and the staff very helpful.

The booking process online has always been very quick & easy. The further in advance you book, the more you save. Check in is 30 minutes in advance of flight and the staff are very helpful. On one occasion I realised I had items I shouldn't and the staff offered to keep them at the airport till I got back the following day for me.

Flight staff are friendly and helpful. A drink and a snack if provided on board even though the flight is less than an hour. Staff are helpful with questions I've had and each time I fly back into Bathurst they ask if anyone would like a taxi booked to be ready on arrival.

On several occasions everyone was booked in to fly back from Sydney and we were asked if we would like to leave earlier than our scheduled time - of course we said yes!

The service that the staff provided on REX is what makes it such an enjoyable, stress free flight experience. They go out of their way to help out when needed and it really does make a difference on a busy work day when you have to fly off to a meeting.

This review is for Bathurst Aquatic Centre, Bathurst NSW

verified email - 12 Aug 2012

The centre has a large outdoor pool, an indoor lap training pool 25m a childs pool area and a smaller pool with a a sloped ramp for easy entry.

The change room areas a really large and very clean. The individual showers are nice and hot and have plenty of room in them.

There is good disabled access and the special ramped pool is a great addition if you have mobility problems. They also have aquarobics classes, swimming classes and squad training.

Prices are reasonable. I paid $70 or 12 visits in 3 months. You can buy goggles and swimming accessories on site and these were not too expensive. Most of the staff are very young, but I found them polite and helpful when I've had a query. Good value, clean & good range of services.

This review is for Anytime Fitness, Bathurst NSW

verified email - 12 Aug 2012

Anytime fitness is open 24 hours a day. They have security cameras in place, personal security alarms you can wear and and emergency phone. I have never felt unsafe and I often go in the early hours of the morning.

The staff are friendly and helpful. Basic monthly membership costs $60/month on a 12 month contract & you can purchase personal training sessions 5 for $175 which you use up in 3 months.

The gym is very clean and the treadmills, bikes and elliptical machines all have TV screens on them. I love that because I can watch TV while I workout (just take your own headphones) which helps the time go quicker.

This gym is great for convenience and very reasonably priced. No pushy sales staff, but helpful when you need something.

Approximate cost: $60/ month

This review is for Country FruitDistributors Pty Ltd, Bathurst NSW

verified email - 01 Jun 2012

Country Fruit has really good quality fruit & vegetables as well a very extensive range of gourmet / delicatessen type foods. They have gluten free products as well.
The quality & presentation of the food is always 100%. sThe customer service is excellent. Staff carry your groceries out to the car for you with a smile if you need that and they are great with the kids as well. It's always clean and tidy.

Prices of fruit & veggies are good, perhaps slightly more expensive than supermarket, but not unreasonable. Some of the gourmet products are at the higher price range.

Country Fruit also will make up fruit baskets and fruit boxes for raffles and events. We've used them for our sports club as the price is good and the contents are always really fresh.

This review is for Stewart Street Veterinary Hospital, Bathurst NSW

verified email - 26 May 2012

I've been taking our cats to this vet for a few years & both cats have had surgery here. The premises are always very clean & tidy, no smells. The staff are very helpful & professional, taking the time to explain procedures & costs. I have found them very thorough with their check up & always happy to answer questions. I never feel pressured to buy products or services.

They also have a really big parking area which is great when your trying to manage animals.So you can park right near the door. I think prices are very reasonable, the service and care for the animals is excellent.

This review is for Green Grocer Cafe, Goulburn NSW

verified email - 26 May 2012

We stop here regularly on our way through Goulburn. It's is located on a corner with seating outside & inside. As well as cafe food they also have fresh fruit & veggies & a bike shop at the back.

I like stopping here as I can get nice gluten free food, a really good cup of coffee & I can sit in the sun & read the paper while the family check out the bike shop.

I have not had the pizza but the food I've had is really nice, fresh & I usually buy a few GF cakes to take home with me. It can get very busy at meal times, the seats are not the most comfortable but we have bought quite a few bits of bike gear here & the guys usually give us a good discount if we are spending a reasonable amount.

Friendly, helpful staff, the food is always fresh and reasonably priced.

This review is for Two Fat Ladies, Lucknow NSW

verified email - 26 May 2012

This shop is filled with gorgeous size 16 -24 clothes that are really top quality, fashionable and fun. They have some fantastic jewelery as well as hats, bags & scarves. I just loved this shop & will be going back again. Lots of really unusual and interesting things here.

They also run classes in beading, using scarves and colour styling. Staff were lovely and friendly. Prices are reasonable, not cheap but what you would expect to pay for good quality clothes, not too expensive. They also have a cafe and a lolly shop.

It would be easy to miss this shop as it is located off to the left side as you come into Orange ( from Bathurst), lots of parking, worth stopping for if you are looking for fashionable plus sized clothes.
