This is what you want in any speciality shop. I told them my needs and my budget and they were more than professional. I wanted to by my first pair of inline skates. They took my measurements are you need for this equipment and found the right skates for me. They fit better than most of my shoes.
They told me how to put them on properly and let me try them out. It felt like such a safe and friendly environment. They gave me many options but there was no hard sell at all.
The range was huge and the prices very reasonable.

This review is for Burgers Inc, Newtown VIC

Got a flyer in the mail of their menu and my husband and I thought we would try it. Well! The food was AMAZING. You could taste the freshness. What a wonderful surprise. I was expecting something a bit more upmarket as the prices were pretty high but it was totally worth it and more hand made than I thought. For 2 burgers, 2 small fries and 2 drinks $31.
The small fries were more like steak chips and the portion was big! My husband is a vegetarian and was over the moon about his veggie stack burger. Next time we're just going to get one small fries to share. lol
I went for the small burger and was full. There are huge ones on offer that wound amazing but I don't think I would fit it all in.
The staff were really friendly and smiling. Will be going back there again. :)

Approximate cost: $15.00

This review is for Cloud 9 Bar And Lounge, Geelong West VIC

The yummiest drinks in Geelong. The people who work at Cloud 9 really know their stuff. The alcohol is top notch and the drinks made with fresh ingredients.
If you want to try something new and want something a little different in the heart of Geelong West I would highly recommend this place.
The owner Gorge teaches how to make cocktails and drinks professionally and he hunts down all the best in fine spirits.
Go beyond the top shelf at a normal bar and experience the finer things in life. You will not regret it.

Great coffee, wonderful food and exceptional service for a really cheap price.
I love their lunch specials and the staff always have a smile, even on an off day. One of the lovely waitresses forgot to bring our second round off coffees and she could not apologise enough. She also gave us the second ones for free because we had been waiting. it was so lovely.
Dinner is also lovely with a fantastic selection of food and wine. Unfortunately I haven't been able to attend their trivia nights of blues music but hopefully soon.
I also joined their online mailing list and they give you a preview of what's happening as well as great deals just for members.
If I was to say one negative is that they need more shade in their wonderful courtyard out the back.

This review is for Hair To Go Go, Geelong West VIC

I have been going to see the lovely ladies here for over a year and a half now and they always do a wonderful job. For a place that is a drop in hairdresser they treat you with care and fully consult with you on what kind of thing you want to do with your hair. I haven't come away with a bad cut yet and I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes if that.
I particularly love the down to earth attitude of the hairdresser. No matter who you are they make you feel totally comfortable and relaxed.
I know they now do hair colouring as well though i have not tried that yet.
Highly recommend for everyone. Men women and children.

Very relaxing, funky, underground cafe and shop full of lovely retro items, craft and art.
Very friendly staff and a wonderful calm creative space. A great place to hang out with friends for a few hours, read a book, grab some miso soup and a coffee or even do some crafting.
Wonderful little oasis from town, in town. :)

This review is for Argyles Yarra Valley, Healesville VIC

We stayed in the Tuscan cottage and it was WONDERFUL! Wonderful, artful design. Fantastic large bathroom with a wonderful shower and separate spa bath. Wonderful views from the living room and a fantastic kitchen. Lovely and private with a lovely wild garden around it. There are other cottages around but you don't really notice them from the Tuscan. The room had fresh flowers and candles burning with essential oils. A wonderful welcome!! :)
Out into the bush without being far from Healesville and the Sanctuary. The staff in town at the cafe beauty spa are wonderful and Janette showed so many things to do.
We are already planning our trip back. I can't wait!!
