I had a macbook that wasn't booting up, as well as a faulty iPod touch. The technician did everything he could to get them both up and running as soon as possible, and ordered a new iPod for me which I recieved the next day. GREAT service

I've been taking my dry-cleaning to Midway Drapery for years and they are always reliable and quite cheap too. They also sell school uniforms and sewing supplies and seem to have a wide selection. The staff are very friendly and I enjoy popping in to pick up my clothes and have a chat.

I have just started going to Jacaranda Dental as I was recommended by a friend. The staff there are very welcoming and the service is very good - they seem to run on time and not make you wait. They're a little bit expensive but I feel that the service is worth it I think. Nice and local.

Movie Hits is a very convenient place to quickly grab a movie to take home. It's quite a small store but has a good collection of titles considering, and always seem to have the latest releases. Rentals are very cheap too - $2!

Thai Bay does amazing takeaway food, and is very cheap for the quality and amount that you get. Also great to take a large group to for the set banquet - only $24 and the food just kept coming - we rolled out the door. Very friendly staff and beautiful food.

Langkawi has recently moved onto Port Hacking Rd, and we went there last week for a friend's birthday. The place was packed and had a great atmosphere. We ordered the banquet, which was a little bit expensive, but the food was wonderful and there was soooo much of it - we couldn't finish. Serves Malaysian and Indian food.

Stonefish is right down on North Cronulla beach and is a lovely spot to go for breakfast. The food is very good, although sometimes the service is a bit lacking and it can be hard to get the waiter's attention (I think it depends on who is on shift). The big breakfast is great!

Grills on Wills are great. They make yummy hamburgers and a very nice grilled chicken burger. Great to get for the family for a treat on a night where you can't be bothered cooking. The chicken they use is very nice, and organic too.

Cronulla was a lacking in a decent Italian restaurant until Papa's came along. The service is great (they got us a table on a very busy night with no reservation, and were accommodating) and the food was delicious - I highly recommend the gorgonzola gnocci. Almost as good as if you were in Italy!

I use Macdonald and Masterson Printing a lot for work, they are very reliable, the staff are friendly and very competitive in their prices. Their work is always of a very high standard and are great for jobs that require a little extra something.
