Used this company to refinance existing home mortgage. Easy service. Finance Consultant will visit you, or you can visit the office. Came up with a few options and I was happy with all of them. Follow up service was also first class.

Used this company not so long ago to store excess furniture whilst selling a house. Clean, efficient and secure. The staff were friendly and the rates were reasonable. Easy access and secure entry. Highly recommended.

My son has attended the school holiday tennis camps. He was very impressed as was I. The staff were old enough to control the kids, but young enough to get on with the kids. The tennis camp included a pool swim at lunchtime and it was a great safe active day for my son. Highly recommended and will use again.

Sadly the follow up to this, is the next time I used, they cancelled on me with only a couple of days notice as they did not have enough kids. Was tricky on school hols when I was booked to work. They won't take bookings in advance, start an email list or do anything proactive, so how else are they meant to get numbers? Found a better place that does not cancel. Sorry to say this one was not as good in the end.

Approximate cost: $55.day

This solicitor works from home. His secretary is the crankiest lady I have come across in a long time (unless she was having a bad day). I think the fees are reasonable, but the service is a little distracted. I guess the adage of you get what you pay for applies here. Despite my comments here, I got what I needed done (a new will) and would probably use them again as the rates were much more reasonable than other firms in the area.

I do not have other fee schedules to compare to, but I believe that this company did some good legal work for me at a reasonable rate. The solicitor assigned to my case was friendly and approachable. She contacted me regularly and was empathetic and eager to resolve the problem satisfactorily. I would recommend this firm to anybody needing property/custody advice.

This review is for Brisbane Locksmiths, Stafford QLD

I got four doors rekeyed by this company recently. I was impressed with their booking service and then was amazed when the locksmith turned up when they said he would! You get too used to tradesmen not turning up or turning up really late. The locksmith was friendly, did his job quickly and checked I was happy before I left. Took credit card which was handy. Very impressed.

Approximate cost: $250

Bought a large screen tv from here recently. The price was good (I had done comparison shopping) and the service was excellent. The staff were friendly and even helped me carry it out to my car. The salesman explained how to tune it, how to access the warranty, etc. It made a tedious task that much better. Thank you.

This review is for Montezuma's Mexican Restaurant, Caloundra QLD

Disappointing - the nachos were very small (particularly for the price) and the tacos were not very big either. We are used to our Mexican restaurant in Brisbane and we have to say this one was a "do not visit again" restaurant during our holiday. I would give it a big miss - try somewhere else if you are craving Mexican!

Wow - we had decided we wouldn't go back to this fish and chips joint last year (different owners) - but we would have been sorry! If you thought it was getting expensive and not that nice with the old owners, go back and try again. Whilst fish is not super cheap, it is super tasty and the staff are heaps friendlier than they used to be. New owners have made this a repeat visit for us on our holiday this year - great work.

An amazing selection of toys and games. Mainly educational which is great for parents and kids. Lots of games you don't see at KMart and similar places. A good selection of jigsaws and childrens books as well. You can always pick up an interesting game or knick knack that you won't find elsewhere.
