Anytime On Time Plumbing Services is a great company. I had first contact with them via the phone. The worker who answered was nice and quickly answered my questions. I arranged to have someone come out for a quote on a drain at one of my properties.

The employee who showed up was so friendly. He listened to my issue and reassured me on the hesitation that I had about costs. He checked out my issue and gave me an honest answer on what the problem was and what needed to be done.

My plumbing problem turned out to not be that big of a deal (cracked pipe). The work that was completed was very quick (I thought it would be days instead of hours) and the costs were definitely lower than expected.

If you're looking for a nice plumber with honesty then check them out.

This review is for 3 Bears Pre School, Canley Vale NSW

verified email - 05 Mar 2015

We came to 3 Bears for some more information and a quote on childcare. It was pretty easy to find (Canley Vale isn't too large). The building outside looked clean and the grass/plant areas were tidy. There were plenty of empty spots to park.

They staff at the front were nice and polite. They answered all our questions and gave us enough information to make a childcare decision. They are on our list for possible places in the future.

We looked into the different rooms and they all seemed clean. The curtains were open so there was a lot of sunlight. There were kids and toys everywhere but that is standard. It wasn't overly messy or anything.

The kids were playing and looked like they were having fun. So based on all that, they are pretty decent and we might be using them in the near future.

This review is for Wicked Candle Company, Rockingham WA

I ordered a package of wax melts in peach & cranberry for my wife's wax burner. I also noticed that they send samples for free so I requested one. I was happy to find out it was a nice sized round of wax and not just a fragrance sample.

The turnaround time itself from WA to NSW was 5 business days, and I was very pleased with that. The website is easy to order from and even tells you how many of each item is left in stock so there is no confusion. The prices on the wax melts are what I expected and I couldn't find them cheaper anywhere else with shipping combined.

The package arrived nicely packed with no issues there. The included the sample in a little burlap bag with the company info, 2 business cards on nice paper, my receipt with a hand-written thank you note, and a WOMO paper telling me how to review them.

Overall I am very pleased with my purchase. My wife loves her melts, the house smells great, and I have found a new website to purchase Christmas gifts from.

Approximate cost: $6.50

This review is for El Loco At Slip Inn, Sydney NSW

verified email - 06 Feb 2014

El Loco is located inside Slip Inn, right near Darling Harbour. I love this place! It's very nice to find a Mexican restaurant that's fun and exciting. They have a lot of outside seating and colorful tables & chairs to hang out at.

The prices are very reasonable. I get the baja fish tacos for 6.00 each. My wife loves the El Loco hot dog. It comes with toppings such as queso fresca and relish for 10.00.

I plan on going 7/2 for their Friday special - 5.00 drinks from 5pm. They also have daily specials so be sure to check those out if you come by.

This is a nice place to come to for live music and DJs!

This review is for Four Points By Sheraton, Sydney NSW

verified email - 06 Feb 2014

I cannot say enough good things about Four Points By Sheraton! The hotel is located in Darling Harbour. The location cannot be beat - it's a short walk to transportation, shopping, and food. It's also across the street from a 24/7 corner shop.

I stayed here with my wife and the cheapest room we found was $350.00. Not the cheapest but also not the most expensive. I feel this is a "treat" type of hotel for our budget, not something we would stay in all the time.

Our room had 2 beds and a big window overlooking the street. Everything was newly refurnished and clean-looking. The tv was new, and the air conditioning worked so nice in the hot summer afternoon. In the morning you get a free newspaper, and local area guides can be grabbed from the front desk staff.

The bed was very comfy and I believe the pillows were feather. I loved the blankets and sheets also. The hotel itself wasn't too loud, considering it's in Sydney right next to a busy harbour.

This review is for Abu-Najee, Fairfield Heights NSW

verified email - 28 Jan 2014

Abu-Najee is a Lebanese pizza place/bakery/cafe located in Fairfield Heights. They are a little bit down the road from Woolworths, just across the street. As with all of Fairfield Heights, parking can be tough to find. A good idea would be to park at Woolworths and come here before you do your weekly shopping.

They sell some pretty good pizza! I like the variety of toppings they offer. I've never had anything else from here but they also have bakery items, drinks, and coffee.

There are 2 tables outside where you can sit and enjoy your food. Perfect place for people watching or catching up with a friend.

The staff are polite and helpful when you have questions about the toppings offered.

This review is for Star Ace, Fairfield Heights NSW

verified email - 28 Jan 2014

Star Ace is a cafe & bakery located in Fairfield Heights across from the new Woolworths. They don't have outside seats, just a few tables inside. They offer a variety of sweet & savory pies, pastries, as well as cakes.

Parking here can be a hassle because it's located next to the post office and the streets can get full. I suggest parking at Woolworths and just walking across the street.

Our family has come here before for birthday & celebration cakes. Our favorite is the continental cake with the liqueurs in the middle. The meat pies are hot & tasty as well!

The staff are friendly and the place is clean. My only suggestion would be to clean up the outside windows a bit (though to be fair, the whole street needs a good clean!).

This review is for S.O.S Property Services, Ryde NSW

verified email - 28 Jan 2014

We just had carpet cleaning service done today. I used Ourdeal.com.au and paid $49 (plus a 10.00 fee for being out of service range) for 3 rooms & 1 hallway. Not a bad deal in my opinion.

The appointment was at 11am and they were about 10 minutes late. Its not a huge deal, but that was the only negative I really have. Everything else was great. The cleaner was polite, very quick (about 45 minutes total), and the carpets are better than I expected.

Overall, I am happy with the service & price. If they ever do coupons again through a discount site, I'd use their company again.

This review is for Caffe I Viaggi, Wetherill Park NSW

verified email - 13 Dec 2013

Caffe I Viaggi is located in the Wetherill Park Stocklands mall. Its very close to parking, but for the next year they're doing renovations so it can be tricky to get into here.

They used to have inside & outside seating but that may change due to those renovations I mentioned before. My last visit took place a few months ago so we got the option to sit outside.

The location is great and I personally like this mall, but this cafe can be hit or miss. I have been here a few times and for the most part, the service needs work. They can be a bit slow and slightly rude. But I like to give places a 2nd chance, so that's why we returned.

On one occasion my baked chicken main arrived to me stone cold. My wife's salad also looked bland and boring. The prices are pretty high for a cafe, so that could use some work too.

This review is for Lavish Beauty, Fairfield Heights NSW

verified email - 04 Dec 2013

Lavish Beauty is a salon located in Fairfield Heights. I have taken my wife & mother here for treatments on a few occasions. This seems to be the nicest & cleanest salon in Fairfield Heights.

They have a medium-sized building with displays of makeup & hair care products. They offer many different treatments with a price range to suit any budget. I also noticed that they have a chalkboard sign on the sidewalk offering their monthly specials.

They have some seating near the windows if you're waiting on someone. But the magazine selection was sort of sparse. The salon is very clean & tidy. The decor is all in black & white...it looks classy.

The staff are very friendly and chatty. I appreciated that they took the time to really understand what treatments my wife was looking to get. My only suggestion would be to get some men's magazines for the waiting area so husbands have something to do.
