This review is for Airport Shuttle Bus North Sydney, Chatswood NSW

verified email - 31 Mar 2010

I have used this service about ten times and it is a really comfortable and inexpensive way to get to the airport. I have not used them to go from airport back to home again, but they can also arrange that for you.
Only twice did they have to pick up someone else as well as me and there was still plenty of time.
However, once my booked pickup did not arrive and they were quite hard to contact very early in the morning. This is why I didn't give a better score for service and quality, but it was only once out of many times and I still used them again the nenxt time.

Everything you would want from a dentist. He has a really good reassuring manner and always spends lots of time helping me with my dental care technique and giving me information and education on oral hygene.
The prices are reasonable and they put the claims straight through to the health fund so you only have to pay the gap.

This review is for Manhattan Nails, Crows Nest NSW

I am really satisfied with my nails and this salon. It is a lovely looking spacious salon and the staff made me feel really comfortable. They did a great job on my acrylic nails.
On the downside, I had never had my nails done in my life and I wanted them done for my wedding. When I phoned up and explained this, the staff member was not really too helpful. She just asked me what I wanted done but what I needed was some guidance and options. Being new to the world of professional nail grooming, I also would have appreciated some explanation of what was going on and what was coming next during the actual process. But this is a small matter because I value the good job more than the communication or sales skills of the staff.

This review is for Jumping Jacks Playtime, Crows Nest NSW

This is a kinda-gym that also incorporates musical activities and toys and one-on one consultation for your child/baby by the physiotherapist who designed and runs the program. She is a very experienced owner/operator who is really really good with the babies.
It took a few weeks for my 6 month old baby to warm to this, but after a few sessions he absolutely loves it. His favourites are the parachute and the air-gym, which the parents can go on with their children.
I really highly recommend this children baby/gym to anyone.

Approximate cost: $22 per session

You can get some real bargains here. I love visiting this shop, because you can be sure to get what is seasonal and interesting. This can't be said for the big chain stores nearby.
They also stock some lovely artisan bread and really reasonable prices. I love the wholemeal sourdough.

This review is for Crows Nest Medical Practice, Crows Nest NSW

There are lots of doctors here, each with their specialties. The doctors specialties and qualifications are described in detail in their brochure. They also have a really informative newsletter.

I have always received the very best of care from my main GP and the others I have seen. I have always been treated with care and respect and have never ever felt hurried or embarrassed to ask any question.

The only downside is the receptionists, who are sometimes a little less than friendly, but don't let them put you off. The doctors make up for it.

This review is for Perfect Carpet And Tile Care, Greenwich NSW

These guys helped us out after a flood when our carpet and underlay was drenched and we had a terrible mould problem.
Their prices are not the cheapest in town, but the quality of the work they did and the customer service was superb and well worth it. I would not want to use one of the budget operations ever again after having hired Perfect Carpet and Tile Care. They have all the high-end equipment to get the job done quickly, efficiently and with the minimum of disruption.

This review is for Crows Nest Bakery, Crows Nest NSW

This is a nice little bakery with all the things you would expect from a middle of the road suburban bakery.

But the reason I am writing this review is for the fabulous quiches. They are far from middle of the road and ordinary. I have been buying them for years. My favourite is the tuna and olive. You can get them in family size or individual sizes.

The other great thing about this bakery is that they are open long hours and don't close too early.

On the downside, I bought a cake or pastry there once and it had that fake cream stuff, which was rather disappointing.

This review is for Montagu, Crows Nest NSW

This place sells superb coffee and is pretty much my favourite cafe in Crows Nest. They have super yummy and varied sandwiches and salads, which are very classy compared to most. The only problem is that there are no menus and it is all written on a huge chalkboard inside, which is a bit hard to read. The sandwiches are quite pricey, but this is ok considering the quality of the food.
The staff are wonderful and so friendly. When I get takeaway and I don't want to bring my pram down the two stairs, they come to me at the door so I don't have to come inside.
Crows Nest has heaps of cafes, but no others as good as this one!

The best chiropractic service I have ever received. They also do massage. This is a very friendly little practice. My chiropractor uses the activator method and is a true genius at picking exactly what hurts and needs fixing, without me even having to tell her.
