This review is for Nu Moves Physiotherapy, Callaghan NSW

I found the physiotherapists to be very good. I went to see them when I had some problems with my leg associated with a muscular condition I have. They really helped to get rid of the muscle tightness I had been experiencing for over a week and a half (usually it dissipates within a few days at most) and the stretches they gave me have been really useful since.

This review is for Hog's Breath Cafe, East Maitland NSW

They are pretty much your standard Hogs Breath Cafe with yummy food, good service and standard pricing. I enjoy going there quite regularly. I am a little disappointed that they don't seem to have a braille menu which is something I really like about Hogs Breath normally (It is nice when a restaurant goes that extra mile and tries to make things accessible), but thats nothing to complain about because it is a rare occurrence for any restaurant to have a braille menu. The staff however will read out the menu on request like most places so still pretty good. Definitely recommend.

This review is for Maneeya Thai, Maitland NSW

The food is amazing, good service, cozy feel (even though the space is actually not that small, it just has that pleasant warm and cozy feel). I am light sensitive so I will admit I am extra partial to the relaxed mood lighting. They are pretty quick with getting your meal to you and make a seriously amazing Pad Thai. Definitely consider sharing a dish with perhaps an entrée because the portions are generous. The price is reasonable, you are paying for a quality meal, so it isn't your el cheapo take away, but at the same time not overly priced either. Definitely worth the visit!

This review is for Bunty's Fruit & Veg Home Delivery, Maitland NSW

Excellent quality, old fashioned personal service, and the produce is sourced locally which is just amazing. I often see the fruit and veg in the supermarket these days and it just doesn't ever look that great anymore because I have gotten used to the untampered goodness of fresh fruit and veg. A lot of fruit and veg in the supermakets is gassed to ripen it after it has been stored in various ways and once you experience fresh, it is hard to go back because you get used to how fruit and veg should look and taste like. I grow some of my own but have always accepted that commercially grown produce has less taste and doesn't last as long (not anymore), with Bunty's produce, it comes from the local farms so whilst I still think there is nothing better than home grown, I can't grow everything in my small yard and I don't feel like I am making a compromise in quality, taste or freshness when I buy from him. Love it, highly recommend.

This review is for K9 Country Grooming Salon, East Maitland NSW

I get my Cavalier clipped here and they do an amazing job. My dog's coat looks wonderful, neat and even from the moment I see her after a clip to when she is due for another clip. Excellent and professional service, I highly recommend.

This review is for Strachans Day Night Pharmacy, New Lambton NSW

I have scripts that have to stay at a pharmacy so it is really important to me to find a good one, cos I will be stuck with them for six months minimum. These guys are friendly, considerate, interested in making their business a positive and accessible experience. Their only downfall is they don't deliver far and their delivery person can't deliver all levels of prescription, but their excellent opening hours do make up for this a lot. Just really happy with everything, will be keeping me as a customer for way more than just six months! Ones this good are worth sticking with!

This review is for Meat Shed, Mayfield NSW

Great service, good range, decent prices, their thin sausages are really fatty which was disappointing, I would still go there for other meats though, and staff are friendly and helpful.

This review is for Potters Hotel Brewery Resort, Nulkaba NSW

Been here quite a few times and it will always be my first choice in the area because the rooms are clean, there is adequate parking, food is excellent, the smell and atmosphere of the place is classic and delightful, staff are friendly and personable. My favourite is the pot pie, scrumptious! And they are very accommodating if you want something yummy from the restaurant, but also want to relax in your room (you can take your restaurant food to your room! chips and gravy on a cold winters night snuggled up in front of the tv in your cosy motel room-soooo good!) Step aside fancy overpriced hotels this place has atmosphere, is cosy and comfy, offers easily accessed deal vouchers from different sources such as the entertainment book, and it is wel priced especially when you use one of the vouchers. It is what they offer and the quality that make the price worthwhile, so long as they never get greedy (because that usually ends up with a loss of quality as well) this will always be my no.1 choice in the Hunter Valley.

This review is for Paul Dougherty Optometrist, Charlestown NSW

verified email - 14 Jun 2011

Very professional and LISTENED to me, which is sadly not a common enough trait, so I very much appreciated it. He is hard working, easy to communicate with and although all professionals have a time limit in consultations, it is nice when they can manage the time in the consultation without making the patient feel like they are being rushed.

This review is for Petbarn, Warners Bay NSW

verified email - 02 Feb 2011

They have a great range and good specials. They are okay for basic advice, but if you really want good customer service from staff who are well informed and proactive in updating and maintaining their product knowledge, go over the road to petstock. Don't get me wrong, the staff are really nice and great people, but they would need a better staff training program to match Petstock when it comes to information. They also have a good rewards program too.
