I have used Pymble Office Supplies several times now and will always return to this business. They give great customer service, as opposed to what you get from a certain large well-known chain with the "stack 'em high, sell 'em cheap" ethos! The staff will order in items for you and take the time to find what you need.

This is a 3 star motel and first impression from the street is your standard little motel.The NO VACANCY sign was a good omen, though. The rooms are a good size, clean and well appointed, comfortable. Bathroom is spotless but very small. I kept hitting my elbow on the shower door during my ablutions! Fortunately I'd brought my own hair dryer and could do my hair in the bedroom, because there was no elbow room to use the one attached to the bathroom wall. There is no restaurant but they do cook and bring dinner & breakfast to your room. My dinner was not gourmet but OK. The service is friendly and prices are good - a good value place if you are in Nowra for business. Ask for a room at the back (rooms 6, 7 or 8) because it's on the highway, but noise wasn't too noticeable.

Approximate cost: $110

I used to buy takeaway from here but never again!! The girl behind the counter served fairly promptly but I was disgusted when she kept coughing over the food. Yuk! I asked her to wash her hands after she'd covered her mouth and she just looked at me... unbelievable!!

Approximate cost: $10 including germs

I took my car to be repaired here on the recommendation of a colleague. I am so glad I did. Matt and his team did a first-class repair (my VW was rear-ended, which can result in ongoing issues, but it's been 4 weeks since the repair and no probs at all). Matt is courteous, helpful and everything was done on time. I would definitely recommend PARC to anyone needing car repairs.

Approximate cost: $Unsure, my repairs were covered by the insurer of the bozo who hit me!

I tried this salon on the recommendation of a friend, and have to say it is the best cut & colour I have had. I used to go to Art of Hair at Beecroft some years ago but the best hairdressers left. I have really fine hair which is difficult to get right, but this is the most pleased I have ever been with my hair. Monica was so helpful and listened to what I was after. Would definitely recommend to others. One of the most expensive salons I have been to but you get what you pay for.

Approximate cost: $200

This is the place to go if you want fresh, quality meat at almost half the price of supermarkets. Because they have an abattoir attached, you are assured that all the animals are locally raised (they do get lamb from Goulburn) and you buy Australian! I have purchased here several times and the meat has been the tastiest I have had. They will cut to order or you can choose from the cool room (wear a jumper as you will want to browse!)

This is a great little place to stay for a few days on the Central Coast. John is the host and is very friendly but doesn't impose. He has decorated the B&B with all sorts of artifacts that have interesting stories behind them. The accommodation is clean and the beds are the most comfortable ever (so comfy I bought the same brand for my home!). John makes the most incredible cooked brekky... suffice to say you won't need lunch. The B&B is in a quiet street but close to the water and The Entrance Hotel nearby does a nice dinner.

Richard is really helpful and knowledgeable, and knows his customers by name. He is happy to provide contacts samples if you want to try a different brand. Great old fashioned, value for money service. He is open Sundays.

Brian Stuckings owns this business and provides a brilliant service. He & his plumbers always arrive on time, quote correctly, remove their shoes at the door, clean up after themselves and do a great job. And the price is so reasonable. Only thing is Brian does take a while to send his bills! Probably because he is kept so busy!

This is an older looking shop - OK, very basic! - that's because they have been in business for over 40 years. And they have been in business so long because they are so good! Never had a problem with any items I've had cleaned here, always a great job. They are open til 6pm every weekday and until 12pm Saturdays. Good value
