Had a major leak in my roof

Ozzie was very prompt, courteous and reasonably priced. He quoted the day after I rang him and had the job done two days later. The roof looks fantastic - both my neighbours have commented positively and are interested in having similar work done. I have not had any rain to fully road test the repair job but have every confidence that the leaks are fixed.

High quality dentistry. Couldn't be happier with my implant and general dental care. Staff are friendly and supportive. Dr Oliver Cvekus specialises in providing treatment to people who are dentist phobic. Oliver and his wife and business partner, Dr.Tirza Harley talk though all proposed treatment in easily understandable ways, ensuring that one fully understands one's options and the reasons for the proposed treatment.

Coffee is fantastic! Best around. Food is generally delicious though varies a little. Serving sizes are very generous. Service is attentive. Decor is great. Noise level is sometimes a tad high and intrudes on conversation. Cost for lunch and coffee is around $20. Good value.

Have been going to this practice for 17 years and have nothing but praise for them. Highly knowledgeable. Highly professional. Matthew has become my primary healthcare practitioner. He does not hesitate to refer me back to my GP, however, when necessary.

Over the years have purchased lights from a number of lighting stores. A few years ago I stumbled into Elaine's and won't go anywhere else. Debbie, in particular, is fantastic. Very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I have used them for lights for two houses and my son recently bought all the lights for the house he is building inside an hour, thanks to Debbie.

Paul from Pestrid was on time, comfortable to have in my house (important to me as a single woman), efficient and professional. Friends have also recommended Paul's services. Price seemed very reasonable.

Food is authentic and delicious. Faves are Chicken Tikka Masala and their eggplant dish, not to mention the garlic naan. Services is generally excellent though a little rough when the boss is not there. Value for money is fantastic. Seating and decor could be better but at the price of the meals one cannot really complain. Price around $20 a head, including rice and bread.

One box serves three people. Lots of meat varieties too. Paolo and his partner are extremely friendly - a pleasure to deal with. They also sell to the public. Ring first to be sure they are there.
