Michael has done two separate tiling jobs for me now and both times I was highly impressed with his work and finishing. Both jobs required tiling the floor and walls of a bathroom and tiling an additional wall in either the kitchen or laundry. Michael came on time to quote soon after I called and was able to give an accurate estimate of the cost. He communicated well through out the job letting me know of any issues or complications he encountered and double checking details to be 100% sure we had the same ideas about the way the tiling would be done.

More importantly you will be hard pressed to find a tiler who finishes a job better. Each tile is straight and the grout even across the whole job. If tiles have to be cut to accomodate taps and fixtures Michael makes as small a hole as possible. The edges are extremely neat and very tidy.

My only regret is that I could not specify my own tiler for my new house. I would love to have had Michaels attention detail there. I would recommend Nottinghill tiling to any friend or fellow WOMO member.

Approximate cost: $1200-$1500

My whole family has been to see Nick at one time or another with neck and back issues. He is great at explaining the problem/s and helping you get back on track without insisting you come back more times than you need. We have also seen Sam and he is equally as good.

Approximate cost: $50-$90

Love, love, LOVE this place! As a former Victoria Street resident and Vietnamese food snob I didn't think I would find a good cheap Vietnamese in Mount Waverley... but I am so glad to be wrong! After watching a procession of businesses come and go in this tiny shop behind the stallwart Chicken Bar we are delighted the Proud Peacock has become a regular dinner spot for us. Sure... sometimes you have to fight to get in the door but as every other Melbournian knows that makes you want to eat there even more. We are big fans of the Singpore Noodles and the Beef and Soy Rice Noodles. We also keep ordering the Salt and Spicy Chicken Ribs even though we have tried to make an effort to order different things each time. Prices are very good in comparison to other restaurants in the area and excellent in comparison to other Vietnamese offerings. Service is pretty attentive and even when they are run off their feet it's hard to complain as there a always lots of complimentary drinks and desserts to be had. You can also book...bonus.

Approximate cost: $12-$18

I have had nothing but good experiences with Grace and Sandy who have provided excellent service and advice. Would not trust anyone else with the hot wax!

Calling girls with thick and/or curly hair..I have found a hairdresser who can tame your locks! Ask for Mario who knows how to cut all sorts of hair but likes the challenge of harder to handle hair. Price is fair and everyone in the salon is very friendly. Also they don't push you to buy other products you don't need.

Approximate cost: $75

I knew the food would be good and the venue gorgeous but I was utterly blown away by the service. On the night the staff were super attentive and did an amazing job of circulating in my 110 guest cocktail function wedding. If you are considering cocktail for your wedding (and why wouldn't you? NO table arranging and place card making AND a much more casual and fun event) definitely look into Comme. The amount of food you get for what you would pay for a sit down function else where will make you want to weep for joy and will satisfy even the most doubtful foreign born parents (like mine!). Go visit Comme.... you won't regret it

Approximate cost: $170per head

I went to 2 or 3 florists in the city, all of whom quoted twice as much for both the flowers and the delivery than Helen did. She has so much experience that nothing is a problem for her. Even when I called two weeks before to add to my order Helen was nothing but nice and amazingly accommodating. She knew exactly the look I was after and delivered great service and an amazing product. The best bit is she takes weddings on a first come first served basis so even if yours is small she will book you in and give you as much attention as a big one. Helen has creative talent and great service I highly recommend you go and see her.
