The flowers and plants here are just lovely and so fresh and the staff treat you with the same courtesy and respect when you buy a $12 item as when you spend a lot more. You get offered a card for free even with the smaller purchase so you can attach it to your floral gift.

Friendly family run restaurant with great attention to detail, the staff seem very obliging and almost grateful for your business. The food is pretty good and filling but the restaurant is small and a bit crowded. There are a lot of locals getting takeaway here constantly so it must be OK!!

The Beecroft Franklins staff are generally helpful and friendly but some are a bit snappy. The carpark is the stuff of nightmares with a pronounced slope not suitable for laden trolleys and children at all, very scary

This store used to have incredible markdowns until recently, maybe their policy has changed. However, the stock is well presented, tidy and fairly easy to find. The staff on the check outs are pretty consistent and cheerful

Despite being a hassle to access with good parking nearby, the Epping PO is a great place to go for postage needs. The staff are helpful, patient, caring and efficient and there are sometimes great specials in the bargain markdown bins as well

Very caring for children, down to earth facilities in a quaint old fashioned setting. The programmes are geared towards the childrens' and classes interests and as such are flexible and innovative at all times

Kym Abbott is the best Physio there, very diligent and caring, you get a full treatment with him whereas the other physios don't do as much and rush you out or try and get you to use the various other machines and gadgets they have

Approximate cost: $68
