This review is for Magic Noodle, South Tamworth NSW

Fantastic. Fresh, fresh and fresh! This tiny little Chinese take-away joint is great. It is take-away only and cash only, but the service is friendly, extremely efficient and the food is OH SO FRESH! The place is clean, compact and the prices are very reasonable. Food is prepared quickly using an efficient system (fascinating to watch!) and the service is super friendly. I highly recommend magic Noodle for a quick, tasty - healthy!, fresh meal. Delicious and guilt free!

This review is for Dr AN Greacen, South Tamworth NSW

verified email - 08 Oct 2012

The only good thing about this dentist is that you can get in virtually straight away. I had a recent dental emergency and Dr Greacen was the only one who would take an instant and new patient - no questions asked. That is it's ONLY recommendation. Upon arriving at the surgery - I saw instantly why this surgery is so accessible. Attitude is everything in business and this dentist surgery's attitude - is horrendous - to say the least. They are NOT all about the tender care and comfort of patients. There are signs all over the walls saying "patients will be penalised" (I'm NOT kidding) for this that and the other if they do not 'conform' to certain rules, policies and procedures. "Patients who arrive late will not be treated". "Patients who cancel appointments will not be allowed back again". "Note to Parents; Children are NOT ALLOWED to eat or drink in this practice!" etc, it goes on, and frankly, gets worse. The surgery itself is a hole in the wall practice, unclean, unkempt and quite frankly, for this day and age, WAY below any kind of medical practice standards. The building block the surgery is located in is falling apart; walking into the area, yet alone into the practice, one feels like one has entered a bad Sptephen King horror movie. It is just aweful and feels grotty, unpleasant and un-nerving, to say the least. The receptionist is also the dental nurse, so it is quite a wait to get service of any kind. Sorry, but I simply cannot recommend this dentist!

This review is for Vivaldi's Cafe, Tamworth NSW

verified email - 08 Oct 2012

I don't visit this cafe very often; it's a little expensive for what you get, though the food is okay, I guess. Took too long for lunch to be prepared for my colleague to finish and get back to work comfortably in her lunch break. It feels a bit cramped inside for my liking - as it is a long, narrow cafe, and the outside seats are in such a busy part of the street that you just can't RELAX - and that for me is the whole point of dining out - at whatever time of the day - convenience coupled with relaxation. I just don't get that at Vivaldis. Sorry guys.

This review is for Woodhouse Dental Surgery, South Tamworth NSW

verified email - 08 Oct 2012

I used this surgery for the first time last week. It is excellent. When entering the surgery one feels instantly at ease. The reception is open, bright, with comfortable lounge chairs and cheery atmosphere. The walls covered in framed photographs of exotic and beautiful worldwide locations. The receptionists are friendly, efficient and clearly have a great relationship with the dentist and patients alike. Dr Woodhouse is a very experienced and well travelled gentleman who is all about patient comfort first; he gets to know where you are at in yourself before instigating any treatment. He is GENTLE, efficient and friendly - VERY talkative and puts one at ease in the chair. You do NOT feel his injections. He looks eccentric, like a chemical physicist with his surgical glasses that never leave his nose; and is ever personable, an absolute gentleman, and his knowledge of medicine, the dental and medical professions on a whole and quick mind will leave you in no doubt that you are in well seasoned and capable hands from the outset. Easy to get into, no three month waits - and if you have an emergency - the door (or telephone) is not slammed in your face by an efficious receptionist with no heart - like most dental surgeries in Tamworth (and believe me - our family has all tried them all!) Emergencies are treated as exactly that! I highly recommend this dentist. - And hope he does not retire like dentist Howle recently did! (Dr Howle was fabulous, but Dr Woodhouse is better!)

This review is for DesignCrowd.com, Brisbane QLD

Design crowd offers an outlet for freelance designers to offer their services designing websites & logos, flyers etc. Jobs are posted by prospective clients, an outline given, with a payment price and designers can submit their own designs for whichever project they wish to participate in. The client chooses the design they wish to purchase (the 'winner', so to speak). I have found that contacting design crowd themselves is difficult and usually to no avail; their overall website, automated internal systems, message, submission, profile etc work very well however and there is usually little to contact them about. If you are new to Design Crowd as a designer, it is highly recommended that you only participate in projects marked as 'guaranteed payment', otherwise you are wasting your time and risk having your designs taken and used for no payment - this has happened to some. (This is something most of us learn as we go along as there is no real instruction as to what is what) If you are a client seeking a designer on here, please have enough professional courtesy to commit to the site and to the hard efforts of the designers by 'guaranteeing payment' on your project. Cheers.

This review is for Woolworths, West Tamworth NSW

I have just learned that as of next Tuesday 2nd October 2012 Woolworths, West Tamworth, will be commencing it's online shopping services, inclusive of delivery. I can't wait! I do hope they implement regular home delivery services in addition to this, as Coles say they intend to do as soon as possible in order to compete with Woolworths Online Shopping & delivery service.

This review is for Coles, Tamworth NSW

Having just queried Coles, Tamworth about home delivery, they have said it is something they will likely be implementing soon, due to the fact that Woolworths, Tamworth will be implementing online shopping services (inclusive of home delivery) as of next Tuesday 2nd October 2012. That will be helpful now Franklins has gone. Whichever one gives home delivery services to all of Tamworth will nab all of Franklins home delivery customers - and they were literally run off their feet with home deliveries for $6.00. I hope they do!

This review is for Discountink.com.au, Helensvale QLD

Found these people on RewardsCentral.com.au. Was dubious as sounded too good to be true! Purchased a Lexmark compatible ink cartridge, just to try them out. It cost $6.95 as opposed to the normal price of $30 upwards for a Lexmark only brand cartridge. Excellent product, fast delivery (3 days to regional Australia from QLD), securely packaged. Product is BETTER print wise than Lexmark's own. Points plus bonus points earned on Rewards central for every purchase is fabulous.

Approximate cost: $6.95

This review is for Wayne's World, Tamworth NSW

Wayne's world has only recently opened in tamworth and is much akin to Crazy Clarks or Sam's Warehouse but more neatly laid out. I am delighted that these guys stock Monte Marte art supplies! These can't be found anywhere else in tamworth now that Woopi Doo has shut down.

I found this wee little shop in the Robert Street Shopping Village just today. It's a cozy little shop that stocks everything one could need for scrapbooking, as well as various art supplies; paints, brushes, sketch books and some canvases. The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. Happy to order in any art supplies you may need which you know you will use on a regular basis. With the extreme shortage of art supply shops in Tamworth, this little store could prove very useful for any Tamworth based artist or hobbyist seeking a regular supplier! Pop in and have a chat or give Melissa a call on 0434865353.
