Helpful staff who offer genuine advice. Great with the kids when we took them in to select bikes & helmets.

This review is for Ringwood Golf Course, Ringwood VIC

Long established as one of the best public access courses in the eastern suburbs, course upgrade work over the past 12-18 months has seen the course improve greatly. The course provides a test to the good player without being too difficult for the 'weekend hacker'.

Approximate cost: $28

Excellent, friendly service. Beautiful food. Take-away phone orders available. As lovers of Thai food, my wife & I have tried all of the Thai restaurants in the area & this is by far the best. Definitely recommend it.

This review is for Melbourne IVF, East Melbourne VIC

After having difficulties conceiving our 2nd child we chose Melbourne IVF to assist us & were very pleased with all aspects of the service. The offices & reception areas are very modern & professional. Our Dr (Jim Tsaltas) was excellent in explaining the process, encouraging us & advising us along the way. The mandatory counselling session is a worthwhile experience as it does throw up some potential issues & outcomes for discussion which may not have been thought about before (eg. what to do with any 'leftover' embryos or eggs etc) - we found this valuable. One of the best ideas they have is to assign you to a 'group' (eg. red) as you go through the process. This aligns you to the 'red group' of nurses so you become familiar & build relationships along the way rather than dealing with a different person each time. We were lucky enough to have success within a relatively short timeframe so were obviously thrilled with the outcome. The process is fairly expensive but there are rebates etc which make it manageable. The joy of getting the baby you are craving will far outweigh any concerns with expenses. We highly recommend Melbourne IVF.

We used Mitham Private for the birth of our 2nd baby (boy). The experience was fantastic from the first visit/tour to the day we left the hospital with our newborn. The facilities provided were first class & the nursing staff were fantastic in their care & attention. Highly recommended.

This review is for Dr Sophie Leong, Mitcham VIC

Sophie was our obstetrician for our 2nd baby (boy). My wife had numerous complications during the pregnancy which Sophie managed with a great deal of expertise. She was also not afraid to refer us to other professionals (eg acupuncturists, chiropractors etc) to further assist in the treatment. Our boy was big (10+ pds) but Sophie's work/advice during the labour & delivery was fantastic and was integral in us avoiding a C-section birth which we wanted. I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

Wow! What a fantastic play centre. It has designated areas to cater for kids of varying ages as well as plenty of tables & chairs for parents with good visibility of the play areas. One of the most striking thing is just how clean & well-maintained the place is which is very important.

This review is for Growling Frog Golf Course, Yan Yean VIC

I played Growling Frog as part of a social golf day which I organised. The pro-shop were excellent in my dealings with them leading up to the event with the booking arrangements made & confirmed well in advance & run smoothly. The course itself is of very high quality, comparable to many courses on the Peninsula & at a better green fee price. A great day all round.

This review is for Harrison Hairdressing, Ringwood VIC

I have been getting my haircut by Rick for more than 20 years & he has yet to give me a haircut I have been unhappy with. A fantastic guy, very personable & friendly who creates a great atmosphere in the salon. I know of many other people who have been seeing him for a similar amount of time. He has built up a great loyalty from his clientele & for good reason. He is also active in giving young apprentices a chance of working with him which I think is a great thing as there is always a fresh face to meet in the salon which helps to keep it vibrant, and they clearly enjoy working for him which is a telling sign.

Approximate cost: $30 (men)

This review is for Yoyos Playland, Wantirna South VIC

This is a fantastic children's play centre by day & an Indoor Sports centre by night. As you'd imagine, the play area is massive with heaps of space for the kids to move around in without bumping into each other all the time. There is a large selection of ride-on trikes/cars, mats, padded shapes, walking planks, climbing stuff, ball pits, swings etc. It also has a huge blow-up bouncy slide (similar to a jumping castle). For the slightly older kids, there is a separate area with more advanced climbing stuff & bigger trampolines etc.

Approximate cost: $4
