Had breakfast here this morning. I ordered the BLAT and my partner ordered scrambled eggs on toast. The food was incredible, the coffee is beautiful and the place looks awesome. Then there's the staff... Now I understand this place is trying to be hip and trendy with all the staff sporting various piercings, man-bun type haircuts and odd tattoos BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SMILE!!. I think we managed to muster up maybe 3-4 words in total from any of the 3 staff we spoke to. My advice, go next door to Bocconcini!

Overall I liked this place and I felt the price adequately reflected the experience. I think the temperatures need to be adjusted in winter however. A pool with 36 degree water is simply not warm enough, this was proven by the amount of people cramming into the two 40+ degree pools which are TINY! This leads me onto my next gripe, when we arrived we were informed there were 28 pools in the bath house area. I counted 16 and that included the mini rock pools which are features, not actual spa pools. We went at 12pm on a Wednesday and I'd say it was at about 80% capacity with each pool having maybe 1-2 spots left (elbow to elbow) with people/couples/groups queuing up waiting for someone to leave... not a nice feeling on either end of the spectrum. All in all, it was a pleasant experience for the price paid ($70 for a couple) but I wouldn't be in a huge hurry to return.

Just picked our pups up from this place a few hours ago after a 3 night stay. They must have had a good time because they've been sleeping for the past few hours!. I love the fact that Badger kennels includes 3-5 hours of exercise a day (weather dependent) in their standard price. Most other kennels keep them locked away all day except for toilet breaks. I've always been nervous of letting my dogs stay at kennels and usually opt for friends or family to house sit. I'm happy to say, I'm over my fear now and I'm sure the dogs would love to holiday there again.

I found this pet store completely by accident when walking past. I love the atmosphere in here and I love the dog that wanders around, he's awesome. I've got 2 dogs and they love the holistic treats from here. If anyone is looking for a new dog tag, you can't go wrong with the Red Dingo ones available from here which come with a lifetime warranty!.

Came to see Julius after suffering from minor tendinitis from rock climbing. Julius is great and has a lot of experience with sport base ailments. After 2 sessions of deep muscle massage, Julius sent me on my way with homework and I've not had to return since. Julius is great and a very knowledgeable guy. Would definitely recommend. He also takes appointments in Boronia if Elwood is too far.

I recently had water leaking into my walk in robe from the wall and I had no idea what to do. I called Webb Plumbing at 8am and had a plumber booked early that afternoon. The plumber was onsite for about an hour before diagnosing exactly what the issue was. He gave me 2 options and explained the differences. An hour later and he was finished and even vacuumed the roof before leaving. Would definitely recommend Webb Plumbing to anyone looking for a pleasant and intelligent plumbing firm.

This restaurant is absolutely beautiful and looks really authentic. Booked a table for 4 guests approx. 3 days before and had no problem securing the table. My only issue was that we had a vegan with us and we warned the restaurant prior, who advised they would supply us with a vegan menu. Once we got there, we found out they had no vegan menu's and the normal menu did not advise which meals were vegan or had vegan options. All in all, it was a great experience and the food was extremely nice. Well priced and again, the place looked amazing.

I've been ordering from Fujiyama for the past 3-4 months or so and I've never had a problem with the service. The food is always delivered ontime or before then estimate and it always hot and delicious. My only gripe is the cost. I find Fujiyama ever so slightly over-priced. Comparing it to the other locals, the food is on-par but the price is slightly above. However, I continue to go here because I find their Bento box and the Pork Gyoza simply worth paying for. Average price for 1 person is approx. $25-30.

I've met Mike a few times previously out of the trails and I've found him to be a very knowledgeable and friendly guy. It didn't come as any surprise when his name popped into my head when my Giant Reign was needing a service. His availability made it easy for me to snag an appointment and his workmanship and knowledge is far greater than the LBS I've been to many times before. I would definitely recommend Mike to any riders!

I've been coming to this vet for over 3 years and I've always had a very pleasant experience. The staff are very friendly and they're always able to squeeze you in for those last minute appointments. I find them adequately priced for the service they provide.
