It is so easy to see that the people working here really love animals and will care for yours like it was their own. We have taken many animals here over the years and they have all been well looked after. All of our animals have recovered quickly from operations and procedures performed here and I would have no problem using them again.

Unfortunately I recently had to use this service after someone crashed into my car however, the staff here made the repairs of the car as trouble free as possible. They took the car in straightaway to assess it and fixed it to be drivable and then within a week and a half had all the parts ordered in and the car was fixed like new. They also washed and vacuumed the car before it was returned. It was all so hassle free and they did all the negotiating with the insurance company.

I attended a ball here and absolutely loved the place. It is very classy and beautiful. The staff were professional and all of the food tasted great. There is lots of room for big events and you could comfortably seat more than 200 people. One of the best parts of this venue is the large dance floor in the centre of the room.

This is a nice little fish and chip shop in the centre of Lorne. It has an extensive menu including lots of fresh seafood. They also have a few unique items such as chocolate and banana spring roles which are very yummy.

The staff are friendly and cook the food really well.

Prices at this shop are quite expensive and can easily cost $50 for two people but still worth a try when in Lorne

This is the perfect place to stay for holidays to Surfers Paradise. The apartments are modern and luxurious and are maintained beautifully. We had the bonus of having a room facing the ocean.

The buildings are only a short walk from Cavill Avenue with lots of restaurants, shops and other attractions and very close to the beach.

The staff are friendly and helpful and there is an information desk if you need any help as well.

Prices for staying here are quite expensive as to be expected when staying in the heart of Surfers Paradise but well worth it for the location, views and great apartments.

This is one of the best rewards programs around. You need to do nothing more than shop as you normally would at places including Coles, Target and Kmart and scan your card. The items in the rewards shop are expensive but you can also turn your points into vouchers every 2000 points to get the best value.

This would have to be one of my favourite pubs in the area. Not only does it have a great atmosphere on Friday and Saturday nights but it is also a nice place to go to during the week to catch up with friends over a drink. St Patricks day here is also really fun with the various giveaways. The staff are nice and the service is generally quick.

This is the ultimate kids playground. It has huge slides, small slides, medium slides, mazes, swings, sandpits, things to climb on, a miniature railway and the list goes on. Entry to the playground is just a gold coin donation which goes towards the further development of the playground. The minature railway is a small extra charge. It is appropriate for kids of all ages as there is a designated area for really small children. There are a good number of tables and areas to sit if you decide to take your family here for a picnic or simply wish to give them a snack. There is a cafe available on site if you wish to use that too. This is a must go to destination for anyone who has kids as it is so cheap and kids could really play here all day and not get sick of it.

Approximate cost: $2

We have bought various car parts off these guys for years and even though the owners have changed the service and knowledge is still great.

People may not know that these guys always have a decent range of cars for sale. Most under $4000. My partner recently bought a car from here and it was $2000 cheaper than anywhere else we looked. The guys here were helpful when he was selecting the car and answered all questions honestly and got the paperwork and roadworthy for him within two working days.

This is one of the best restaurants around. The menu is great, it is full of variety and includes numerous meat and pasta dishes and the food is cooked perfectly. My favourite dish here is the entree of stuffed zucchini flowers which are full of flavoursome cheese however, this dish is not available all year round.

The staff are great and provide prompt service. Prices here are very reasonable for the standard of food that is served although, like many restaurants the drinks are pricey.

I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who finds themselves in the Echuca area.

Approximate cost: $30
