This review is for Beechworth Honey Experience, Beechworth VIC

Such a fantastic range of honey to try. Sticks are provided to taste a range of the "normal" and special honeys. The creamed honeys are amazing and go great in a cup of hot water. The jar with a vanilla pod is amazing. In fact, all of the honey is great, some just tastes better than others!!

A range of bee themed souvenirs are available and the staff spruike the bee tou, although I have not participated. Great gift sets are also available.

Oh. My. God. The BEST FnC I've ever had. The potato "cakes" are potato seasoned in rosemary and thyme and the. Perfectly battered and cooked. The sardines, the scallops, the mushrooms with goat's cheese....where do I start and end?

Start with the whitebait. Just AMAZING!!! I'm salivating whilst writing this. If this shop was close to where I live, I'd be having FnC every week.

Worth the trip to Beechworth! Forget the Bakery, eat here!!!!!

Great range of underwear from briefs to singlets to leggings and socks. The garments are made from bamboo and are incredibly soft and easy to care for. The online store is easy to navigate and they have a great product. However, their sizes could go higher to cater for a wider range (pun intended) of people.

Approximate cost: $15

This review is for Regent Cinemas Albury, Albury NSW

Although labelled as a "Village" theatre with signage everywhere, you cannot use your Village Movie Card to accrue points towards a free or discounted movie. Same at the candy bar: you are unable to get discounts on combos which the VMC usually provides.

The staff are ok, candy bar staff were very polite. The seating is pretty old school and not massively comfortable. The seats need to be a little larger like in most multiplexes and the backs could also be higher.

This review is for EziBuy, Abbotsford VIC

verified email - 31 Dec 2013

I have now bought three very different items (not just clothing) from Ezibuy and have spoken to customer service on a couple of occasions to check the progress of an order prior to Xmas. Great products, friendly and helpful customer service. The great thing is knowing that if you buy clothing, you can return it and get it exchanged with very little bother. However, by reading the review of products and looking at the type of fit, you can generally select the appropriate size. Great way to shop!

This review is for Home Cleaning Melbourne, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 31 Dec 2013

I used Home Cleaning Melbourne to steam clean carpets after moving from a rental property. They were easy to deal with over the phone and gave an accurate quote for cleaning the carpets. As my former rental was quite large, I was concerned I might end up even further out of pocket, but a great accurate quote. The time was moved to a later time (which was not an issue), but they then arrived 30 mins prior to the agreed upon time. This was also not an issue, but could potentially be if you were coming from a distance. The carpets look great and I would probably use these guys again. They also provide a home cleaning service, but I did not require this.

This review is for Thai Tables, Bayswater VIC

verified email - 23 Dec 2013

Who HASN'T been here??? If you haven't, you need to make a booking and fast! Thai Tables is always busy no matter what day of the week and the food is AMAZING!! It is no wonder they do such a roaring trade! The satay sauce and roti bread are a great starter. But then so are the fish cakes, the spring rolls and.....need I go on?? As for the mains, I would be hard pressed to think of something that wasn't delicious. The Masaman Curry is a personal favourite, but then so is the Spicy Calamari. Really, no matter what you order, you can't go wrong!

Approximate cost: $Dependent on meal

This review is for Bedazzled Domestic Cleaning, Ringwood VIC

verified email - 23 Dec 2013

I booked Lynne from Bedazzled on a referral from a friend and WAS NOT disappointed!!! Lynne was punctual, affordable and did a brilliant job cleaning a rental property prior to inspection. SHe brings her own 'tools' and products and left my oven sparkling. Why did I not have her come in earlier?? Lynne also does regular domestic cleaning, a minimum of two hours. However, at $30 an hour you will be VERY happy with her service and very reasonable rates!

Approximate cost: $30/hour

This review is for Jessica Kate Hair Design, Croydon VIC

verified email - 23 Dec 2013

Jessica is a brilliant colourist and fantastic hairdresser. I followed her from her previous salon and have continued to be impressed with her skills. As she works out of her own salon at home, prices are more competitive than at a salon in a strip mall or mall. Bookings are by appointment only and she is closed on Wednesdays. She's VERY popular, so you will need to book WELL in advance. But she is worth it!

Approximate cost: $Dependent on service

This review is for TPG Internet, North Ryde NSW

verified email - 22 Dec 2013

The staff at TPG are incredibly efficient and provide great customer service. On initial set up they were extremely helpful with tech support. While recently moving house, they were again incredibly helpful and my internet was connected on moving day seamlessly! The internet and phone service is great and I have never had a problem. While changing address, I also upgraded to have 100 free mins of international calls added to my account. This only cost me an extra $5 a month. Great value!

Approximate cost: $69.99/month
