We have a DYI Superannuation Fund for which Ian and his son Ashley perform or coordinate all the annual legal requirements including financial statements, taxation returns and auditing. They also do our personal income returns. We have used them for two years after being dissatisfied with our previous accountant. We are very happy with our dealings with Ian and Ashley.

Adam was the plumber we had when our new kitchen was installed. He did the tap connections, dishwasher and gas cooktop connection. He was the contractor used by the kitchen company we had for a kitchen. His cost was built into the overall cost of the kitchen so we cannot comment on value.

Valentino's Italian food is excellent. We had one main - the fish special - and a pasta dish both of which were great. We have used Valentino's several times and cannot fault their pizzas, pastas and mains. Last time we also had very pleasant piano background music. Some nights they also feature jazz entertainers.

Approximate cost: $25 or $17 for pastas

We have a largish kitchen and had the old cupboards and benchtop ripped out and replaced. We kept our oven, cooktop and dishwasher as they were not very old, but replaced the rangehood.

Very relaxed meals. Four of us shared entrees and mains and coconut rice and found all to be excellent. The service was not overbearing but was always there when needed.

Approximate cost: $17

Just 2 of us ate there and we had a very enjoyable meal. The quality of the food was top notch. The meals were not huge but were prepared perfectly and the presentation was excellent. We came away feeling very satisfied. The service was first class - we were never rushed but we felt looked after to just the right extent.

Approximate cost: $30

I've had many lunches and several evening meals at Di Palma's. The quality is always first-rate. Lunches are very good value at $22 for two courses. Alternatively you can choose from their normal Italian menu, which includes pizzas from a wood fired oven.
Evening meals are fantastic, whether you choose one of the specials or from the Italian menu. A personal favourite of mine is their desserts, with the only problem being which one to select.

We have had three jobs done
- Two retaining walls, each about 20 metres long, were replaced with mortar-free (dry stone) rock walls
- A new garden section was put in, surrounded by a dry-stone wall, and plants were put in
- Our old driveway and a section of the garden were replaced with a new driveway with reversing area, and a new garden was put in.

We have had 3 jobs done:
- install a new gas cooktop
- repair a gas leak
- find and fix a blocked drainage pipe

I've been there several times. It's great casual dining, really good food and the service is excellent. There are a couple of "senior" Italian waiters who are always good for a laugh and make you feel like you could be in old Italia.

Approximate cost: $15 - $25
