Been looking for a good hairdresser for a long while. I have been to many, paid lots of money and not been happy. After a period of illness and feeling drab I made an appointment at Zink as it was close to home. I have just recently had my 3rd appointment. I love this place. Friendly staff, don't wait long, and doesn't take all day to have my hair coloured. Great products for my hair as well. I am so happy, and come to know Georgina, the lovely person who does my hair for me, I am so happy with her work, and she always listens to what I would like and advises me as well. There is never any pressure. It is now a good experience for me to go and have my hair done. I used to dread going to the hairdresser, not now.!!! A lovely salon, clean, spacious, and always busy, which is a good sign. But it never feels hurried, or loud or manic. Just my kind of place. Love it.

I have just been to this store again!!! to buy a Birthday present, and card, and ended up with a few little bits n pieces for myself as I always do. This place is great. Initially I never went there as I thought they only sold mainly expensive furniture, which they do. (Beautiful quality furniture thought). But after hearing more from a friend I took the chance and now I am a regular. They have many gift items, gorgeous gifts for kids, and great homeware products. You name it they have it. Always have lots a great specials. They carry a large range of Salt n Pepper and Maxwell and Williams products too. (I think I have those brands right?). You would find it hard not to find something perfect for the person you are buying for. I tend to often go there first now, as I nearly always find something for a gift and I have slowly bought bits and pieces for my own kitchen. It's great as you can often buy just one cup, or bowl or plate etc. They have a nice little café attached, it's not fancy but the food is good with a wide menu. This is a must, even for Christmas when you are having to buy lot's and watching your budget. I love it and the staff are friendly, helpful but don't bother you if you browse for ages.

Approximate cost: $1.50 - 1,000's

Love going to this place for my cat's food and litter supplies, buying doggie treats, toys and bedding for my daughter's dog. This shop seems to have everything you need for your pet. A sign outside says pet's welcome. They have a big bowl of water outside, especially in hot weather for the visiting animals. They also have 3-4 cats for adoption, (near the checkout) to tempt you to get just one more furry friend. The staff are great and always offer to carry goods to the car. Email updates give info on latest great specials and bargains and you can join and show your card with each person to build up to a free product.

I really love this place. Great atmosphere, always friendly, busy and active. They seem to remember everyone, the food is great, good range for a small shop. All sorts people seem to use it, wish it were open on weekends too. A real gem. They also do platters for local businesses meetings and functions.
