I injured my arm at work and despite physiotherapy and sports medicine treatment I only got real relief from the ever present pain with myotherapy using both deep tissue massage and acupuncture. I've also had spinal surgery twice and myotherapy has been so beneficial to my rehabilitation!

Kathy is a lovely, compassionate lady who also works with you by setting exercises and stretches for you to do at home and work to further assist with your recovery and pain management.

We all hate the dentist but if you have to go then Grant Simkiss is one of the best! He is very gentle and not one of those over the top, loud and annoying ones! I have a jaw problem and Grant is very considerate and always happy to stop if I signal so that I can rest it for a minute. If it's going to be a lengthy visit (like a horrid root canal) he will break it up into shorter visits for me for the same quoted price.

My husband and I have been patients of Grant's for close on 30 years and he also looked after all our children's teeth. If braces are required and not complicated then Grant can also perform this orthodontic service which he did on our eldest and youngest child with great success. Our middle child though was much more complicated and Grant immediately said it was out of his expertise so referred her to a specialist.

Grant also takes the time for a quick chat to find out how things are going so it isn't all about the teeth!

Melissa is the best travel consultant we have ever dealt with and has spoilt us so that we'll never deal with anyone else again! Melissa's quotes are always the lowest so we don't even bother checking anymore as it's a waste of our precious time. She goes that extra mile (pardon the pun) and always has great suggestions that enhance our trips.

Melissa takes a personal interest in her clients and has arranged 3 international trips for us and everything was exactly as she explained with no hidden surprises.

Melissa always looks forward to you returning and popping into the store to tell her how your trip went and welcomes all feedback.

If Melissa is on a day off the other staff are always very helpful too.

Melissa is related but she treats all her clients exactly the same as she wants to ensure everyone loves their travel experience!

We are owner-builders and the guys at Epping Timber have been very supportive with prompt quoting and lots of good advice. Their products are always good quality and if they don't supply an item they are always quick to locate a supplier. Exceptional service.

An amazing dining experience. Not only do you have breathtaking views over the Diamond Valley and Kinglake ranges but the decor is unique with a beautiful open fireplace for those wintry days and nights! There is also a lovely outdoor deck which in the warmer months is delightful to sit out on but in winter there are also great overhead heaters and cafe blinds that keep you cosy.

The food is always marvellous with a wide range from pizzas to speciality dishes. Peter is the owner and chef so I'm sure all dishes get that extra bit of TLC.

The staff are very attentive and friendly and there is plenty of car parking with a ramp for disabled patrons and very handy following my spinal surgery as stairs are too painful.

Unfortunately my favourite chocolate pudding with a rich runny chocolate sauce in the middle and vanilla bean ice-cream is no longer on the menu but they make a melt-in-the-mouth Sticky Date Pudding.

Cielo Blue also has a golf driving range and putting greens so if you want to have a fun get together with friends, try hitting a bucket of balls and then enjoy either light refreshments or choose from the extensive menu.

We enjoy it so much, we drove to Lilydale to pick up my parents-in-law and took them there for a special birthday dinner before driving them back to Lilydale. They were very impressed with both the atmosphere and their meals.

Great restaurant too just for coffee, cake and catching up with friends.

We've been here several times for both lunch and dinner and the food is always delicious with lovely accompanying side dishes. We've never had a meal yet that we were not happy with! The staff are always friendly too. There is also an outdoor area that has heaters and a bar area for people who don't want a meal.

We've visited this restaurant several times and had our daughter's 21st dinner there. The staff were fantastic to deal with when arranging the special dinner, especially as we had some special dietary requirements. Great Italian restaurant with a fantastic menu range and they also have take away. I have only ever heard positive comments from many satisfied diners -- delicious!

They also have a room available to cater for private functions with a range of set menus.

My family has been attending this clinic for over 15 years and you get good old fashioned TLA and real care! For the ladies - 5 excellent female doctors! However all the doctors in this practice are very caring and thorough. They also never hesitate to get a second opinion if required and only refer their patients to proven specialists. I see Dr Wendy Bernet and Dr Eric Tay both fantastic people who never rush you.
