Beautiful Natural Skincare products handcrafted with natural ingredients.
The natural retinol face oil and Kakadu Plum pink clay mask are a winner for me and especially suit my extra sensitive skin

I booked a stay here as we were attending a Wedding locally and also wanted to visit the Hot Springs which are just around the corner.
We were greeted when we arrived by Trish and offered cake & coffee. There was a lovely fire burning in the common area. Trish showed us our room which was large and had a walk in wardrobe, large bathroom with large shower, air conditioner and large glass doors which opened out to a private area and views of part of their property.
The room was tastefully decorated and immaculately clean and fresh. We were provided with tea & coffee amenities and shown where the fresh milk was.
Bed was very comfortable and we slept really well. Woke up for a hot breakfast (eggs and bacon, mushrooms & tomato) at 10am and fresh brewed coffee as well as plenty of cereal (including gluten free muesli) and toast options that we could have as well as the hot breakfast. We definitely didn't leave hungry.
One of the few places offering a single night stay over the weekend. If I have the opportunity to visit the area again I would definitely stay there.
They have a spa which can be booked for an extra $20/couple and a reading library where you can borrow books (even take them home to finish and post them back if you want).
Wonderful hospitality. Highly recommended for couples of all ages.

Great fresh fish and unexpectably real calamari rings. Made to order. All fresh and good. Very friendly service. Family run. Can wait a little while when busy but it's worth it. Old school fish and chips and old school prices. I'm now a regular.
Fish pack for two $14.00

Approximate cost: $10.00

I sat outside and ordered a coffee and was pleased when it arrived and I then ordered a breakfast meal... Half an hour later I still hadn't received my meal so I enquired after it and the waitress apologised profusely for forgetting. 5 mins later I had my Dukkah Eggs which were fantastic. I ordered another coffee which was also fantastic (best I've had on Glenhuntly Rd.). Price was about average. Luckily it was worth the wait.

This review is for Dr. David Keyes Tilley, Brighton VIC

Couldn't possibly fault Dr. David or the staff here.
My appointment ran to time. The surgery was sparkling clean and had a window overlooking a pretty street. I was made to feel really comfortable and welcome. The work on my broken tooth was quick but not rushed and relatively painless.
So happy to have found a new dentist in Melbourne. I will be back in a few weeks. Price seemed pretty standard. Less than I had budgeted for and they can claim health rebates by swiping your card so you only pay the gap.

Really lovely atmosphere. Very 'Melbourne'. Very busy. Great selection of food.
Our meals were really lovely and fresh. I had the lamb & rocket salad. My friends had the chicken salad & the meatball pasta.
The pasta was served warm and we asked for it to be heated up and it was heated slightly but still warm. In any case it was delicious.
My sticky date pudding was served luke warm, the sauce wasn't completely melted.
Overall, we were happy. Food was great quality. Service was great. When we mentioned we were a bit cold, the staff quickly turned the heater on.
Prices were reasonable for a cafe style restaurant.

Approximate cost: $25

This is the best consistently good coffee that I've found in the area and I keep coming back. The lovely baristas have outrageously cool hair to match the über cool rustic charm of the cafe itself. All the staff here are friendly and entertaining.
I usually get take away. It's not easy to figure out where to stand to wait but well worth it for the great coffee.

Can't compliment the girls who have treated me here enough. Made me feel completely comfortable and not at all awkward for my first ever wax. The rooms are spotless and the price is reasonable too. Also if they have your mobile number they occasionally send SMS to offer good discounts on their slow days. Right next to the train station too.

This review is for Church Street Medical Centre, Richmond VIC

I go out of my way to recommend this clinic again and again and specifically Dr. Knapp.

While, I will always ask for my doctor as she remembers me, I have had to see other doctors at the clinic occasionally and have found them to be fantastic also. Up until recently, all doctors were female but there are now one or two males available also. All fantastic doctors.
I try to book ahead, but on the odd occasion that I've needed a same day appointment, there has usually been an appointment available with one of the doctors.

While they do not Bulk Bill except for very occasionally for certain types of visits, if you bring your bank details, they will process your Medicare claim and have it sent straight to your bank account the next day. Saves all the hassle of a trip to Medicare. The saved time alone not waiting in the waiting room is worth the small gap you pay.

I have followed Dr. Jeannie Knapp for around seven years from the original Women's Practice on Richmond Hill to the clinic across the road and finally back to Church Street Medical Clinic which has a number of doctors from the original clinic. She has a somewhat holistic approach and is very good about explaining the nature of illnesses and giving referrals or recommending complimentary/alternative therapies when appropriate. She almost always runs to time, which is very refreshing as no one likes to wait in the waiting room for too long.

I find all the doctors at this clinic to be approachable & down-to-earth as well as definitely knowing what they are talking about. Can't recommend them more.

As mentioned in another review there is also Dorevitch pathology onsite.
