Really great medical clinic, and definitely the best in the area. I've had such a positive experience seeing all the doctors - Dr Fiona and Dr Justin especially. They are thorough, friendly and knowledgeable and I certainly feel like they genuinely take care to look after their patients. I didn't really want to change clinics again after finding another 'okay' clinic in the area, but so many friends recommended them, so I started going to this centre with my bub after he was born. So glad I did. They have a pathology service onsite as well as a nurse to provide immunisations etc. which is very handy. You can also book appointments online, so don't have to wait till they open in the morning to find out if you can get in to see the doctor. That has been so handy!!!!

This review is for St Vincent's Private Hospital Fitzroy, Fitzroy VIC

I recently spent 5 days at St V's for the birth of my first child. Overall I had a really positive experience here. My hubby was able to stay overnight which was great. Although we were offered a room with a double bed, the room we were initially given with a single bed (and pullout for the hubby) had such a beautiful view of the city, and was comfortable enough that we elected to stay put. It was really just like a nice hotel room.
We had some really lovely and genuinely supportive midwives during the stay. We had up to 3 different midwives looking after us each day, and not a single one was anything but helpful and supportive. Some were quite brilliant. We felt so supported that we weren't keen to take up the offer of a night at the Hyatt. Would much rather have access to all on offer at the hospital than leave just for the thrill of staying in a fancy hotel for a night.
The hospital has lactation consultants on staff too, and both that we dealt with were great. We also visited the breastfeeding clinic at the hospital a week after our discharge. The clinic was just fantastic, and a real asset to the hospital.
Overall, I can't fault the service we received from pre-admission contact, parenting classes, our hospital stay through to the breastfeeding clinic and follow-up pastoral care.
In my experience the food was much better than expectations. It wasn't 5-star dining, but was the equivalent of a standard city pub dinner. Really nothing to complain about at all.

This review is for GIA Bathrooms & Kitchens, Bentleigh VIC

We enlisted GIA to renovate our bathroom/laundry initially and we were so happy with the results that we asked them back to renovate our kitchen 6 months later. We are absolutely thrilled with the outcomes of both rooms, and had a positive experience during planning and renovations both times. All enquiries were dealt with promptly, and Illan and Greg did a great job responding to all our requests (small or large). The tradespeople used by GIA were all fantastic (and lovely people too). Each were not only great at their trades (the plumber, electrician, tilers, painters and carpenter etc. were all brilliant) but also showed attention to detail in their work, were tidy and were respectful of minimising disruption to the rest of the house. It was obvious that GIA and all those that work for them are genuinely passionate about what they do and take pride in delivering the best possible result on every job. On both occasions we even had people working on the weekend or after hours to get things finished on time. Illan and Greg did a great job to keep things to schedule and both renovations finished within the expected 4 week time frame. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend GIA.

This review is for Dr Vicki Nott, Fitzroy VIC

I'm so glad we chose Dr Nott as our obstetrician for the recent birth of our first baby - she was just so great throughout the pregnancy and birth. I always felt so very comfortable talking to her at every appointment - she was always calm, friendly and reassuring. I came away from every appointment feeling relaxed and supported. She was very supportive of my choices for the delivery and that really did make the world of difference. I knew I was in very safe hands. I really couldn't have asked for a better experience, and would definitely visit Vicki again should we have another child.

Lovely little cafe out the back of The Rose. They do a great range of tasty jaffles and milkshakes. Highly recommend the choc malt shake, banana bread and the trucker jaffle - but they are all pretty delicious. And coffee is good too.

This review is for Pure Pie, Port Melbourne VIC

These guys make really delicious pies and sausage rolls. Sold hot for eating now or cold for eating later. Perhaps a bit pricey for a pie, but they're not your average pie - really delicious and the quality of the ingredients is obvious.

Approximate cost: $9

Always buy some bagels from 5&Dime at the monthly gasworks farmers market. The bagels are beautifully fresh, delicious and just the right size. Their stall is one of the highlights of going to the market.

This review is for Bodycare Pilates Studio, Port Melbourne VIC

Really enjoy every pilates session with these guys. They have sessions before and after business hours and on a Saturday, which is super convenient. The classes are run by a Physio. All my classes have been run by Vanessa - she is a great instructor. It took a little time to organize the first session (a one-on-one) but haven't had any difficulties getting into a group class at a convenient time since then.

We get fresh seafood delivered from these guys. The prices are great, and so far we've been extremely happy with the quality of the seafood. The delivery guy is very friendly and makes sure to contact us if we don't happen to be home when he drops the delivery off.

This review is for Elitecare Auto Detailing, Glen Waverley VIC

Had our car detailed prior to selling, and was very happy with the result. The car looks new again. Customer service was particularly excellent. Rohan was great. He was very thorough, and his pricing was very competitive. We were forced to reschedule due to bad weather and Rohan was very accommodating. Wouldn't hesitate to use this service again, or recommend to others.

Approximate cost: $220
