This review is for Skinny Dog Hotel, Kew VIC

I haven't had a meal at the Skinny Dog, just been for drinks, but it was always busy, crowded and noisy – it has great atmosphere. It was great for drinks on a Friday night.

This review is for The Palace Hotel, Camberwell VIC

I've only been to The Palace twice, but was impressed both times. Nice large dining area, friendly and polite staff, and the food was good at reasonable prices. Definitely a good place for a night out.

This review is for Homeopathy Plus, Tuggerah NSW

verified email - 31 Jul 2012

I was recommended this site via Simple Savings about six years ago, and am very happy with them. I ordered the Ainsworths Home Kit which has 42 remedies for many common ailments. At the time the kit cost me $125, it now costs $132.50. I have used the remedies for colds, hay fever, injuries, period pain, and other health problems, and have always had positive results. I highly recommend Homeopathy Plus.

This review is for Priceless Pets, Wooloowin QLD

I also was recommended this site via Simple Savings about 5 years ago, and have been very happy with them. The prices are much more reasonable than at the local vet clinic and delivery is quick. I've also recommended Priceless Pets to a few people over the years.

This review is for Hammonds Paints Pty Ltd, Portland VIC

verified email - 27 Jul 2012

When painting my house, I bought all my paints from Hammonds as they had the best prices for what I wanted. The staff were polite and helpful, and although I bought a LOT of paint, the cost was better than I had expected. (I'd budgeted $2000 – actual cost was $1200.) I can definitely recommend Hammonds for all your painting needs.

This review is for Abundant Life Books, Portland VIC

verified email - 27 Jul 2012

Abundant Life Books is a Christian book store with a wide range of products, including books, bookmarks, cards, gift wrap, calendars, diaries and other gift ideas.

There is a large variety of books, but you can also order books if they are not in store, and the delivery turnaround time is very good, usually within a week. And the books are of reasonable prices.

The staff are friendly and helpful, especially the owner, Nicky, who felt it was her calling to open this book shop.

This review is for GJ & MA Mirtschin, Portland VIC

verified email - 27 Jul 2012

I had a leaking toilet that needed fixing and contacted Gary to fix the problem. He explained that he had a large job on at the time and wouldn't be able to fix it until the following week. I was disappointed but understanding.

However, just after 5pm the day I phoned, he turned up and explained he was on his way home but thought he'd drop in to see what the problem was. He examined the toilet and said he could fix it straight away, so he did. I was very grateful and also impressed that he went out of his way for me. I highly recommend Gary.

This review is for Chris's Mobile Hairdressing, Portland VIC

verified email - 27 Jul 2012

I found Chris's advert in my local paper and phoned to make an appointment. She arrived promptly, was friendly, professional and efficient, and I was satisfied with the haircut. Her fees are very reasonable, at $15 for a haircut. I definitely recommend Chris.

Approximate cost: $15.00

This review is for Aldi, Portland VIC

verified email - 14 Jul 2012

I love Aldi. I find the prices to be very good, and the quality of products are excellent. On the odd occasion when I wasn't happy with an item, I took it back with my receipt and they promptly refunded my money. I love the fact that it takes me less than half an hour to do my shopping. The only negative comment I have is that I wish they would employ more checkout assistants, as the lines do get very long.

This review is for Carol's Massage, Portland VIC

verified email - 20 Apr 2012

I found Carol to be a very good masseuse, as she listened to me when I explained my problem areas, and she effectively massaged the tension knots out of me. It doesn't take long to relax, and several times I have dozed off during the massage.

I definitely recommend Carol if you need a massage.

Approximate cost: $45
