I make a stop here every time I visit mum. Its a tiny little shop that stock's so much. You go in one door make your order and pay at the other end. The staff are always helpful and friendly even though they are run off their feet and thats really nice to see, as so many get incredibly grumpy if they are kept busy, But Not in here, I've never struck a grumpy staff member.

I Love their Sourdough Bread it would have to be the best Ive had.
Last time I was there we had a strawberry tart that was amazing, covered in a strawberry jelly over the top of beautiful pastry filled with creamy custard on top of the custard was the strawberries and a few crisp fresh purple grape's, It was just divine. We also took with us some fruit mince tarts that were the best i've had, being from an english background myself these are a tradition at our place for christmas, so I know where I'll be going to get mine this year, so I hope they will post them to me?

There's always heaps of people in there, they do the coffee and cake thing as well also having a coffee card like everyone has these days.

There's some parking, but its always hard to find one at anytime in Warrandyte. Table's outside some under cover, but there are so many tree's anyway. The river runs alongside the car park, there is a playground for the kids.

Their price's are all reasonable, everything is always fresh and they do take order's if needed.

You may have to wait a short time, but with this bakery the wait is worth it every time, Also I've never had to wait very long.

I been her a couple of time's now and Have found all of her beauty price's to be very reasonable.
I'm hopeless with name's so I have forgotten the beauty therapist name but she is lovely and can meet all of your beauty requirements.
she has put together lots of Hand and feet, nails Gel and Acrylic, Facials and waxing also spray tan package's for you all at very reasonable price's.
For me its just eyebrow and chin is just $20, she did a fantastic job that I was very happy with.

she offer's Bridal packages as well.
There is also a list for men.
Heaps of free parking near by.

Loved it. Something for everyone.

For Me the female of the family, Dollhouses and Miniatures and everything that goes in and to make one in any way you would like, as there is heaps of help and So much to look at.

For the men, there are Plain's, boat's and automobiles, Glider's. So many and So much stuff a mens playground if you will and the wife can go and do the dollshouse thing. Don't get me wrong, I think the whole shop brings out the child in all of us.

Heaps of help, a great web page you can order from and they are happy to get things in for you if they can.

I spent a good hour and 1/2 in there just chatting, and Loved every minute of it. I bought a really nice little outdoor setting for my soon to be built Doll's house, when I can learn how to use a hammer?

Parking out the back and a ramp if your disable. Lovely people who run the shop as well, very helpful and friendly.

I found Belinda and Jason at the Bendigo Farmers Market and Have to say. I love their Meat. Sausage's are amazing and at the last market there was salami, Spanish chorizo, Lomo & flat pancetta as well as the cuts of pork we are all used to seeing.

It is a little expensive, so be ready for that, but it is worth it. The Bacon is lovely and I did enjoy a bacon sarnie when I bought some, because thats all I wanted, but you can do anything you want with your bacon :)

They breed Berkshire Happy piggy's and have them all cut up for you and sell them from the farmers markets.
They have a Facebook page, so its good to keep up with what they are doing as they can have open days, so then you can go and see the happy rare breed piggy's doing their thing.

Happy Piggy's and animals roam free in lovely fields so they are just happy and lead a happy life. Wouldn't that make you feel better about eating them?
Maybe I didn't put that quite right, but you get what I mean!!

This review is for Strathdale Newsagency, Bendigo VIC

verified email - 14 Aug 2013

The Ladies are always friendly in here. There is always something just that little bit different, you don't normally find in a newsagency.
Always Great specials out from on the table's as you pass by, sometimes too hard to resist.

Heaps of gifts. This one is just one of those you would travel to go to pick up something as you will always find something in there you'd like for yourself or someone else.

Well worth going for a look. :)

This review is for The Meat Master, Strathdale VIC

verified email - 14 Aug 2013

I was very happy with my first purchase, I asked if there was any Beef Cheek and was told the boss wasn't there that day and would ring me when it was in. I was rung the very next day.
I had wanted to try cooking this meat for a long time and finally did. I then found it at a few other place's, but still found the Meat Master's to be the best price.

Heaps of bulk pack's to choose from or they will tailor one for you. The sausages are really nice, everything looked fresh and their was also a few, bung in the oven sort of meals for those days when you don't have time.

Yep, I feel I have found a new Butcher to use as well as the other one. Its always good to have choice I feel.

Great price, friendly staff, heaps of variety, heaps of parking and open for a short time on a sunday, what more do you need?

I would say they are great for the younger set. I'm a little old now I feel in my 50's lol.

I took my girls here each for their 18th birthdays so they could order a cocktail as I was told they have the best in town. We had lunch and each time I took one of my girls when they turned 18, I felt old.

The food is good and there was plenty of it. Again I felt old in there and was surrounded by ppl who all seemed to be under 30, I think it's just me feeling my age!!

This review is for Stress Less Moves, Bendigo VIC

I found Steve and the Guys To be incredibly helpful, totally reliable and didn't damage anything.

I've used Stressless twice now and was quoted both times the best way for me would be by the hour, I found this to be a great way for me them to move everything for us as we really didn't have that much stuff.

They came in and started work straight away, wrapping or protecting everything so it wouldn't get damaged and it was all done within 4ish hours in and done. Loved it and yes it was totally stress free as they said it would be. The guys were lovely and so friendly, having a joke with you.

I made morning tea for us all as they had worked so hard. If I was to move again I would use Stressless every time.

Approximate cost: $95

I was helped by a young man to put an add in the classifieds this day. He was so helpful, helping me write the add and telling me what he would like to see in it, working it down to just the right amount of words that said everything needed.

Helpful workers. I was very happy on the day and there after when I needed to cancel the add, it was dealt with straight away.
