New to Melbourne I was looking for a dentist and happened to drive past Purity Dental on Police Road so thought that I would give them a try.

The dentist was quite lovely and we conversed in some general chit chat. She told me as a first patient she would take some photos and X-Rays of my teeth so she can use it as a progress chart to refer to if need be.

She then proceeded to check my teeth and gums for cavities and to ensure that my gums were healthy. She cleaned my teeth (the real reason I was there) so overall a good experience.

Exceptional service and quality! Housemates and I order from here at least once a week.

Being Italian and new to the area I needed to find a decent pizza place. After trying a few I discovered Sandown Pizza and have stopped looking!

The pizza toppings are full and plentiful with a nice crispy base. Highly recommended!!

Approximate cost: $13

Need a massage on the spot? Or perhaps you have been before and enjoy being massaged by the same person you had last time? This massage place really does cater for all needs. I come at least once a fortnight as the service and quality of Living Water exceeds all expectations.

They cater for all types of massages whether it be a quick neck and shoulder, a foot massage where your feet get bathed in a foot spa to the more exuberant packages when you lay there for an hour as you get massaged with oil and hot stones. (I have tried them all)

I now always get the deep tissue oil and hot stone massage for an hour. While $100 may seem a lot I can say that it is well worth it otherwise I would not keep returning! Alternatively you can get the remedial hot stone oil massage for $70 if you are looking to get pampered and relax.

I suggest you try it out. Walk in off the street or call to make an appointment. There is always someone there ready to massage you!

Approximate cost: $50
