The dog treats made by these guys are absolutely wonderful. Everything is home baked and nutritional with specialised biscuits for problems like doggy breath and teething puppies. The flavour choices are great - Sunday Lamb Roast, Chicken, Fish, Beef etc and they sell a wide range of chews (roo, jerky etc), pigs ears etc as well as the healthy biscuits

Everything sold here is wonderful. Large range of beautiful home made soaps for every occasion (including pets, gardening etc), essential oils, fabulous seasonal gift packs (Mother's Day, Christmas etc) and lovely gift packs for newborns and their families as well as cinnamon sticks, incense, accessories and candles. Don't miss out - well worth a visit and very affordable. Great products, great value and friendly service.

Nola performed a naming day ceremony for my baby granddaughter. I wanted a Celtic ceremony as both sides of the family have strong Irish and Scottish ties. Nola was incredible to work with. She hadn't done a Celtic ceremony before but took an avid interest in the customs and beliefs. She tailored an event that we will remember forever - a beautiful ceremony was performed at our property with a gathering of 50 plus. It was truly lovely and I can't recommend Nola highly enough. She works with you to provide a service you want and stays in touch every step of the way. She felt like part of the family by the time the big day came and it was everything we could have asked for.

I found Debbie to be honest, reliable, efficient and friendly. She does top quality work, picks up and delivers to your door. I couldn't be happier with her services.

Over the past several years I have used these guys to do my tax returns and those of my immediate family. I love that you can have the same agent doing your returns year after year and have found them to be friendly, helpful and courteous. They also don't mind if you ask questions on anything you're not sure about. Highly recommend.

I paid for representation at a VCAT hearing and my solicitor turned up half an hour late for the appointed time. My case was heard without my representative there and, needless to say VCAT decision went against me. I contacted this company and asked for a refund of my $700 as I wasn't represented as agreed. I was told no - no refund because the solicitor did turn up on the day. How is that legal let alone fair!

Fantastic facility for all the family. You can walk around the farm, feed the animals, see the nursery, picnic and bbq facilities available. Activities include a hay ride round the property on the back of the tractor, milking the cows and pony rides. Delightful time with friendly staff/owners and wonderful experience for the kids. They offer a frequent visitor punch card that lets you have your 6th visit free.

Whilst shopping recently, I came across this delightful shop and was immediately drawn to enter it. The window displays of fairy ornaments grabbed my attention and so in I went. I wasn't disappointed! Inside I found a treasure trove of aromatherapy candles, fragrance and essential oils, sun catchers, incense, crystals, jewellery, tarot cards, orace cards, fairies, pixie and goblins to mention just a few. I could spend hours wandering through this wonderland of gifts, wrapping paper and cards. Pleasantly surprised by the prices and greeted by a warm welcome from the staff, this is definitely worth a visit. I bought several fairy figurines and a beautiful pair of silver rings that fit into each other or can be worn separately. They have unique gifts to suit all tastes and I intend to become a regular patron. Tarot readings also done by appointment.

Great indoor entertainment environment for kids and parents, especially in the winter months. The separate toddler area is a great idea and it ensures the safety of younger patrons. Despite the premises being 20 years old, this venue is safe, clean and caters for young children and their families well. You can have something to eat and drink while in close proximity to your child and you're not separated by walls or partitions. They cater for parties, can be privately booked and catered and also do a great family bistro night on Fridays. Friendly, helpful staff combined with very reasonable pricing makes this a place your kids will want to visit again.

What a great experience I had recently when I visited Moonlit Sanctuary. They offer amazing night tours through their nature reserve that allow you to see endangered nocturnal species roaming free in their natural habitat. Upon arrival we were offered the use of their own aromatherapy-based insect repellant to minimize mozzie bites before our small group set off to see the sights. Animals living here include quokkas, numbats, sugar gliders, owls, tawny frogmouths, dingoes and so many more. A great time was had and any animal lover will enjoy this experience. I'll certainly be taking my friends and family back there soon.
