Had my nails done here recently. It was quite a good job, however, I asked for gel nails and she did acrylics (I had had acrylics before and particularly didn't want them again). Despite this, they were well done, and didn't chip or lift for ages.
The only negative was that the lady and man often switched, and I almost felt like I was on a conveyor belt. Also weren't the most talkative. However, if you're after good acrylics with no-frills this is a good place to go

Approximate cost: $48

We had John come to help with our dog after moving house, as well as some ongoing problems she had always had (aggression to other dogs, barking, jumping, separation anxiety).
Terrific bloke, he sat us down and talked every thing through before meeting our dog (showed us things from the dog's point of view), spent some time with house training, and went out on a walk with our dog to see every thing first hand.
We couldn't believe he managed to control all her problems in such a short time (spent about 2.5hours with us). Our dog's behaviour has improved immensely and we regretted not getting John in earlier (our dog was 8 at the time).
Very no nonsense approach- however, definitely got the results we needed.

Approximate cost: $280

Went to this waxing salon upon recommendations from WOMOW. Excellent service. When I rang up, I got an appointment that same day. Staff were very friendly, and the therapist I had made me feel perfectly comfortable. When I decided the next day I wanted further waxing, they squeezed me in the next day and I only paid the difference of $7. They took their time with me, and I did not feel hurried. Was not kept waiting, and the extra trouble they went to, to fit me in the second time was fantastic.

Our family has been camping at this caravan park for the last 10 years. Recently the caravan park was acquired by Aspen Parks and is now under new management.
When arriving at the park for our holiday (at 11.30am), we were told we could not set up our site or enter the park until 2pm. When we questioned why, we were not given an answer (this was not the case in previous years). After paying 75% of the balance throughout the year, and the remaining 25% on arrival, we were told two hours later that our booking for seven people was too many for the site, and we would have to split up to different campsites. By this time we had already set up the campsite. After much upset, we negotiated to have the family on the one site. However, through all of this, the staff were rude and unobliging.

Throughout our two week stay in the park, the amenities were not cleaned properly (despite being shut for 30mins- 1hour each day), staff were generally unfriendly, and the rules and regulations were unreasonable (of which we did not receive a copy of, which meant we could not follow).
In their defense, they did put on a pancake breakfast day for the kids.
It is with great disappointment that this park has turned into such a mess. We have been coming here for 10years, however, will not be returning next year, and will choose to holiday elsewhere.

Approximate cost: $Unpowered campsite $15 pp. p/night
