This review is for Top Hat Formal Hire, Springwood QLD

18 Apr 2013

Had my daughters Formal and we got her an Italian dress from Sydney. After extensive alterations, we had it couriered to us and it was a mess. Having driven passed this place regularly when I did my shopping, I popped in with dress and daughter in tow to see if they could fix it. Being a strange design, it had 5 layers sewn together so I was a bit worried how it would turn out. Unbelievable ... It turned out beautiful. It took 3 weeks with us popping in a few times for update fittings just in case. Jean is a lovely person with heaps of knowledge, hence all the cards and photos from happy customers. I even put in my daughters Senior skirt to be altered and because it wasn't ready by the promised date, she gave it to me for free. They even have a change room for privacy .. Book for major alterations as its always so busy ...

This review is for Mitchell Refrigeration And Electrical Services, Norman Park QLD

18 Apr 2013

These guys are brilliant. When we first arrived in Brisbane the first thing we needed in our new house was air conditioning. As we didn't know a refrigeration mechanic, we were a bit sceptical who to chose. The business who we purchased the air cond unit referred jarrod and his team to install it. Was so happy with the service. And the guys who come around to service it yearly are always friendly and in uniform. I've rung them a few times after information and he gives it no problems. He even popped in on his way back from a job free of charge. My air cond is on its last legs so will definitely get them to install another one.

This review is for Cactus Jack's Bar & Grill, Shailer Park QLD

Love this place, it's been a regular for years. It's always so busy so make sure you book. My husband is not a lover of tiny meals lol so when we first dined here and he got a great serving of food, he was sold. The atmosphere is great with loads of meals and desserts to chose from ... And the cocktails .... Yum yum yum .. Our kids are young adults now so they take their own friends, it's always a safe and fun place for them to enjoy themselves

This review is for Avon.com.au, Brookvale NSW

After being a Rep years ago, I still wanted to receive the catalogue as myself and friends loved browsing through it. Unfort it took me 4 Reps before my present Rep finally contacted me (the other 3 were lazy as). Been with her for a few years, so lucky as she's so organised, delivers the catalogue every 3 weeks (along with sample goodies in the bag) to my letterbox and the family all take it in turns to have a peep, then we email our order through. The next week she texts to organise a delivery date. Twice have had faulty items and she's replaced them without question. Good old fashioned home service that's sadly lacking these days ...

This review is for Allianz, Melbourne VIC

18 Apr 2013

Have had my car insured with Allianz for over 10 years. Luckily only had to make one claim during this time last year. I returned to my car in a shopping centre car park to find someone had reversed their car into mine leaving all my front grill smashed and a big hole right through my radiator from the tow bar. I still had to pay the standard excess because I had no information on the person at fault. But still, within half an hour of reporting the incident and advising them I really needed my car for my cancer treatment sessions, a hire car firm rang me to organise a car. And because of my illness, they even dropped it around to my house within 2 hours of ringing Allianz. Wow I was really chuffed as I had no other way of picking up the hire car. Allianz even rang me every second day keeping me updated as to its progress. And when I went to pick up the car, the whole car had been detailed inside and out. They really made a situation that could of stressed me out so stress-free . Can't thank them enough ...

This review is for Pancake Manor, Brisbane QLD

03 Apr 2013

Had been 6 years since I'd eaten here, so thought I'd be brave and go again, inviting my parents who don't like going out. I finally convinced them they need a well deserved night out and this place impressed. As it was a very busy night, they saw my parents were older so gave us a private corner table for the 8 of us. The meals were great, the environment was electric and the fact it's an old cathedral church was definitely a talking piece. Having the manager speak to use twice checking that our night was fine was a nice personal touch. My father is a fussy eater and he had a ball. Thank you

This review is for Prouds Jewellers, Loganholme QLD

03 Apr 2013

Loving my jewellery, I've been to a few stores in my years but this store is my regular now. What a lovely bunch of girls with some of them having a huge amount of knowledge in silver, gold and gems. And some of those girls have the patience of a saint and still smile even having to serve terribly rude customers. Regular catalogues and the best specials

This review is for Daisy Hill Koala Centre, Daisy Hill QLD

03 Apr 2013

This place is really a hidden gem. It has about 5 car parks, a huge open forest area all grassed, for children and family to walk through and maybe see a kangaroo or two. Heaps of toilets, tables, bins and BBQs, and even an area to hold an outdoor wedding. The best part is a board walk taking you to the koala sanctuary with loads to see, great fun interaction boards for the kids, indoor documentaries and a small shop to purchase koala stickers, books, posters etc. Its small but its free. Every afternoon is busy with dogs and runners/walkers ..

This review is for Albert Animal Hospital, Springwood QLD

03 Apr 2013

Can't say enough about this Vet Hospital. Being a ex Vet Nurse from interstate I'm always fussy who I take my pooches to. After meeting James, I haven't looked back. I have never once felt that any request was ever too much. They even helped me locate the owner of a stray and scared dog I found on the highway. And the girls are nice and social, including great puppy preschool workshops ending with a fun dress up night lol.

This review is for Christopher's Fine Foods, Daisy Hill QLD

Come here quite regularly as live in this area, there is no glass window or doors at the front, its an open area with chairs out in the sun under umbrellas which are nice for a meeting place with friends or under cover for a meal. Lovely food and nice choice ..
