We needed a metal sign made up for my husband's business and were recommended to try Artcal. They where very helpful and checked we were happy with the colours and size before they created the sign. It was ready the next day and looked fantastic. We've had lots of compliments from people who've passed by.

It was extremely busy when we came here on a Saturday night - Theatre, Soccer, Cricket, and Billy Connelly all on the one night and in the one area of Melbourne! Having said that though the staff were fantastic, very friendly and efficient. They checked with us to make sure our meals weren't delayed incase we were off to see a live performance which we were. The meals were huge and very tasty. Great views over the yarra river.

We stayed in a beachfront apartment here with a balcony overlooking the pool. Spectacular views and high quality large rooms with a great location in the centre of bustling Hastings Street - as expected it was quite expensive but worth the price tag. Fully contained kitchens give you the option to cook your own meals or venture outside where the array of restaurants, bars and cafes will cater to all. The swimming pool is right on the beachfront which means you never really have to leave your room. Undercover secure parking available which is great as Hastings Street is always busy..

We stayed in the Nirwana apartment (upstairs) and it was just brilliant. Surrounded on all four sides by huge balconies you really get to enjoy the outdoors here - we ate breakfast and dinner out amongst the trees every day. Rooms were huge and are all decorated in Balinese style with large statues, wood carvings and ornate carved furniture with just the right amount of candles and incense. We stayed here for New Years Eve and invited our friends and their kids over to celebrate and there was plenty of space for everyone. Great Location....Close enough to walk into the town centre and to the local shops with a great beach just a short walk across the road. The hosts were really helpful and friendly. Definitely one of the best places we have stayed.

This review is for The Fence Factory, Thomastown VIC

Great price. Workmanship was good. The actual start date was more than three weeks after they promised and only after I called them every few days to find out where they were. Trying to get them back to finish parts of the job to the required specifications was a nightmare - over a month later and still not completed - we ended up doing the last bit ourselves. Disappointing.

This review is for Graytone Water Tanks, Mont Albert VIC

verified email - 16 Mar 2011

We ended up getting two round 4200L water tanks from Graytone. The guys were super professional, reliable and friendly, offered us plenty of practical advice. The turnaround time was brilliant - 3 days to order the tanks and 1 day to install. They even offered to replace a damaged downpipe (caused by another tradesman) for us for free! The guys showed us step by step how to use the pump and maintain the tanks. I would definitely recommend Graytone to anyone needing a water tank.

This review is for Decor Screens, Dandenong South VIC

We required four security doors to be measured and fitted at our house. Two of the doors were just regular diamond grill doors and the other two were special wood-grain-look sliding doors with clearview grills. The first time they came out only two of the doors were ready to install. There had been a problem with the finish of the wood grain doors and we were told there would be a three week delay. The second time they came out we discovered there had been a paperwork error and only one of the wood grain doors had actually been made up. This meant another three week delay. Unfortunately though this second set of doors were also damaged in transit which meant we had to wait yet another three weeks. It was a very frustrating experience but Decor were very apologetic and gave us a discount on the price. We now have all four doors installed and the wood grain doors look fantastic and we have had plenty of compliments. I would use Decor again as I think the problems we had was just down to bad luck and not an indication of their usual service.

This review is for Computer Age Systems, Donvale VIC

We had two old PCs that hadn't been turned on in years and we needed all the data copied onto a new hard drive. What would have taken me weeks and weeks to do and not to mention pulling my hair out as the computers were so old they did not have burners in them took the guys at Computer Age just a few hours. We collected the discs the next day and they even offered to dispose of the old computers for us at no extra cost. Fabulous service!

This review is for Weller's Restaurant, Kangaroo Ground VIC

Beautiful views, great homely food, rustic country cosy atmosphere. Brilliant way to see some very talented musicians perform up close and personal - they have weekly performers and also showcase bigger names - but you need to book tickets early as it is very popular. The food is delicious and serves are generous and use only the freshest ingredients. A real treasure just on the outskirts of Eltham.

Approximate cost: $28

This review is for Burrinja Cafe, Upwey VIC

We came here on Saturday night for a Music event raising funds for an African Charity. The venue was great and the audience really got involved. All the acts were very professional and performed mostly original material. Food wise there was plenty on offer and our group ordered a few entrees to share. The bruschetta and dips were lovely.
