These guys have some great products. Their enviro.giene can be used for pretty much anything, toilets, windows bathrooms etc, you can buy it in bulk and make up your own solutions as needed. They have a wide range of products for kitchen and laundry and the best thing is they are Australian made.

This review is for Mordialloc Food, Wine and Music Festival, Mordialloc VIC

We went here for some foodie, wine and music experience. The food was pretty much all franchise style food, nothing unique, the wine was not good and the apple cider I had was sickly and disappointing to say the least. The music was good but pick up your game on the wine and food side, we were expecting gourmet and we got trailer trash :(

This review is for Red Salmon, Wantirna VIC

verified email - 16 Mar 2014

The menu at this place is wide and varied and would suit most tastes. Entree of salmon bruschetta was great. My partner opted for reef and beef, my daughter goat curry and for me fishermans plate which included mussels and prawns with a delicious sauce. My partner said he had never had a reef and beef with so much seafood, the steak was cooked beautifully. The last time we ate there I rodered the goat curry and had to wait over 1/2 an hour after everyone elses mains came out. Not this time, the mains came out together. Great service, great food, highly recommended.

Approximate cost: $25

I have been here a few times, the menu is great, including a modern slant on Chinese cuisine. Excellent service and excellent food, the menu was so extensive it was hard to choose. Any menu that has XO sauce on it has my approval!

This review is for Mountain View Hairdressing, Belgrave VIC

verified email - 28 Feb 2014

I decided to try Mountain View after a disaster at my last hairdressers. A good hairdresser needs to be honest, and Rachel was. She managed to fix the colour problem from the last hairdresser and did a lovely job, I was happy with the finished product. Rachel was very friendly and easy to chat to. I'll be back again. There was one guy who dropped in for a trim who travels from Philip Island regularly to visit Mountain View, that's dedication!

Lunch for 5 (3 kids 2 adults) flake, dim sims,potato cakes and chips ($60), fish was great, dim sims average, chips and potato cakes average. For fish and chips on the island eating down by the bay a bit dissapointing. Flavour was lacking.

This review is for Chocolate Factory, Newhaven VIC

Can't believe that this "attraction" is still in business. $55 later for a 20 minute tour for 2 adults 3 children ( was told at least 45 minutes) came away decidedly disapointed. The website portrays a lot more than there actually is.. Expensive to get in and honestly the chocolate was not exactly top quality..give me lindt at a much cheaper price. Set up for tourist suckers.

This review is for Ride On Mower Sales, Healesville VIC

verified email - 21 Feb 2014

We purchased a brand new ride-on mower from these guy's shop in Lilydale. Try and get them on the phone??? They just don't answer. The ride on was a great price. They promised delivery at 4pm Friday, I rang them at 4.30 several times to be met with a message bank on the 3 numbers they advertise. Finally they answer...they had forgotten but luckily one guy lives near us so they would drop the mower off after work. After about an hour of driving the thing I notice that part of the tie rod end is bent and gouging into the front tire, there was also a nick under the axle indicating that the damage was most likely done when they forklifted the mower into their ute. We bent the tie rod end back but several days later the tire was flat as a tack. Several phone calls, message banks finally spoke to someone who said yes they would chase up a new tyre and call us back, they never did. I had to ring again the next day going through the same message bank etc to be finally told yes the tyre has been ordered and should be there in a couple of days. This morning I tried calling them again and left messages but they didn't answer , assuming that since over 2 days had passed the new wheel should be in we made the hour trip to Lilydale to pick it up. It was not in yet! If they had answered their phone it would have saved us an hour round trip. The guy at the lilydale store new nothing about the tyre but promised me he would call when it gets in. Nice brand new 3 wheeled mower currently unusable..extremely frustrating. It is very frustrating to deal with a business that does not answer calls and does not return calls after messages are left, in fact, I am unsure how they manage to remain in business!

This review is for Westlake Chinese Restaurant, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 20 Feb 2014

We dropped in here for dinner whilst spending a night in the city. The number of patrons is usually an indication of a good Chinese restaurant. This was packed but they managed to find us a table for 2. The menu was extensive and varied, we chose a banquet to get a good cross section of their food. Having travelled to China and eaten in great out of the way restaurants there we were dissapointed. Most dishes lacked something. Service was ok but overall a dissappointing dining experience, glad I didn't choose the abalone at $60 per dish.

This review is for Causeway 353 Hotel, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 20 Feb 2014

Spending a night in the city for an earl airport pick up in the morning. The room was clean and spacious for a city hotel and surprisingly quiet. Great location, we walked to Chinatown for dinner. View left a lot to be desired. Brekkie was included, continental breakfast basic but ok. Twinings tea in the room was a plus and newspaper at the door in the morning was also appreciated.

Approximate cost: $150
