We have used BuyWise Inspections twice now. The first time was 3 years ago and we recently used them again. They were prompt, punctual and professional. The things they checked was comprehensive and where there were issues, the gave us advice on how to repair (or to leave and monitor) and how much it would cost to repair. It gives you peace of mind and no unpleasant 'surprises'. Well worth the money.

Approximate cost: $660

This business is a scam - don't fall for it.

I had a salesperson visit me on the 20th August 2014 at approximately 7pm offering the sale of chocolates or garbage bags. Each item was priced at $20.
I declined the sale so he asked for a tax deductible donation. While I went into my room to get the money, he chatted to my children about what a donation is and why it was good to donate money. I followed up this conversation with my children afterwards as they were curious as to how we can help others in the community.

On the night, I gave him $20 and he issued me with a sales receipt which I asked if it was tax deductable and he stated clearly that it was. Later, I checked your website and realised that VicDis Employment is not a charity but a for profit company working to help employ people with a disability. So I wonder how the 'donation' can be tax deductible.

Do not buy from this business or make donations to it.

Awesome pizzas. Love the prawn pizza as well as the garlic pizza. Yum. Staff were chatty and cared about how the ingredients were put together. The bases were crisp instead of soggy even though they were very generous with topping.

Evan (the owner) is always available for a chat - the coffee experience is so personal and friendly. Unlike other coffee places where they serve you and are polite but don't really pause to listen to you. My children love going there because they always get special attention - whether its a hi-5, a tease or a friendly joke. Great, personalised service. And they have some very unique delights that we are still discovering with every visit. We love it!

My two children had their first swimming lessons at Westerfolds and it was the most unpleasant experience. On their last day of term, they were treated to playing with the blow-up crocodile. As my children waited patiently in line for their turn other children to pushed in. I was expecting the instructors to correct this behaviour. Instead, it was ignored and when the lesson came to an end, those children got extra turns while my children were told that their lesson was over. My Son still in line asked for a last turn but was rudely turned away. I requested that they be given a last turn anyway and was dismissed by saying that the crocodile was already be deflated.

If you want to teach your children that this type of behaviour is OK then take them to westerfolds.

We will not be going back or recommending it to anyone.
