Some very pretty gifts and a large, large, large range of indian style clothing. The gift range contains many lovely bit and pieces with a broadrange to suit many people. The clothing ranges from some good buys to some things on the tad expensive price and very, very congested so difficult to peruse for that special article your looking for. For the more bohemian teenager a shop they would like.

Thank goodness old fashioned hardware stores still exist rather then just certain large conglomerates. It's great to have someone to serve you who is prepared to spend time to help you solve your problems and share a word with you along the way. Not a big store but plenty of range to get you by with those weekend fix it jobs and, joy of joys, not everything comes in a shrinkrap multi pak. The advice you get can save you heaps or with tradesmans prices nowdays perhaps mega heaps and isn't nice to have a local business. Paint, bolts, nuts, garden supplies, keys, plumbing needs, drainage etc etc. Feel good hardware shopping.

After many bad experiences trying to get tradesmen for even a quote let alone the job I was gobsmacked after my dealings with this company for our unit up the central coast. I rang them only the day before regarding a moisture problem we were having and this gentleman was more then willing to inspect the next day. Not only did he turn up as promised (shock of shocks) he, after assessing the situation and explaining my options, then did the job then and there on the spot. Fully guaranteed work at a reasonable rate. Thrilled to have a job done both well and fast, a problem for me solved in such a speedy and professional manner and for them nothing was a problem. Recommend this company totally for ventilation and skylighting improvements.

This review is for Trans Aquarium, Canley Vale NSW

I have used this business through their online store (http://www.transaquariumsonline.com.au) and found I was able to choose from a wide range of quality products some of which had proved hard to get before I found their site. The price of both the items and postage were very reasonable and they despatched them super fast (Often an essential factor when buying for an aquarium). Fabulous service from these guys and certainly intend getting to their store especially after reading the other reviews. If you need any item for your aquarium I would agree it's well worth looking into Trans Aquariums.

This review is for Sydney Harbour Tall Ships, The Rocks NSW

Husband and I went on their twilight cruise. Was absolutely lovely way to spend an evening. Dinner was included in price. Truly great experience taking in Sydney harbour lights and watching the sun go down and would certainly recommend if you have overseas visitors as the slow speed lets you take in the wonderful scenery. Watching other cruises go past I was much happier to be sitting back enjoying the peacefulness with out their blaring music. Also have daytime cruises. Suitable for all ages other then maybe infants.

This review is for Mt Kuring-Gai Motel, Mount Kuring Gai NSW

Although the rooms are dated they are absolutely clean and great for the price. The service is a knockout. Lovely people who are very happy to attend to you. It will shock to find hot breakfast for only $7.00 and dinner to your room $15.00. Amazing value for the price. You cannot complain at this great value for money, service and cleanliness. Located near Brooklyn, Berowra and Bobbin Head so great location for staying overnight to get some early fishing in.

This review is for Tim's Watches and Jewellery, Penrith NSW

These guys are attentive to their job, are fast and do it well. Have been there for watch battery replacements, watch repairs, jewellery repairs and even had to have my husbands wedding ring cut off by them after he injured his finger. They apologised they may not be able to repair perfectly but as usual, yes. it was mended absolutely perfectly. Oh yes, and quick enough back to his finger so he could not claim bachelor hood again. I am always pleasantly surprised at the cost of the wonderful service I have received here and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone.

This review is for Leura Toy Shop, Leura NSW

Games and toys you loved as kids are here for you to share with another generation. It's great to see toys that are colourful , pretty and not just chunks of plastic. Wind toys, educational games, puppets etc. Toys that take your mind back to backyards, parks and sunny days. You'll love giving them as gifts.

This review is for The Base Warehouse, The Entrance NSW

With 2 children leaving home I was shopping for various things for their homes when I went in here. They had all the usual kitchen and household knick knacks but I was surprised at the great range of decor things they. They had it set up well in sections for different decorating styles. Beach, French Provencal etc.. Ended up buying some great things for my own home. The range includes frames, pictures, mirrors, candle holders, artificial flowers etc. Lots of things I had not seen in other bargain shops but all at bargain prices. They also keep a large range of party items. Would say if up there for the day or on holiday definitely give them a look in.

This review is for Ebay.com.au, Sydney NSW

I sell and buy on ebay. They make it very easy to run your on little store on their site giving you that extra bit of pocket money. For people who say they have many bad experiences buying on Ebay I say read the feedbacks carefully and you can more often then not work out the shonky dealers and find the genuine bargain buys. Rarely I have not been happy with my buys on Ebay but I do the research before buying.
