Left Ivy in charge of handling my home loan for purchasing my first property, she did an amazing job of finding me the best loan, explaining it all to me and making the whole experience of financing my first home a lot less daunting.

I use them occasionally to have my white work shirts professionally cleaned, and although slightly costly, my shirts always end up looking as good as new. Very professional service.

The new Mount Pleasant 24 hour gym has everything you need for a great workout, the floor plan is well structured and has a good balance of weights and cardio equipment. Pitfalls include the main gym not being accessible 24 hours (Victoria St), and lack of decent airconditioning in the mt pleasant gym, and also the high cost of the memberships compared to other 24 hour franchises such as anytime fitness. overall, a good club to train at if you're ever in mackay

Bought my first road bike there, the sales person was very professional and helped fit me a bike which suited me very well and also provide it at a good price. Very happy with my experience there, the people in the store are cycling enthusiasts and they share their passion with the customers.

Used these guys to get my tax return done this year. Normally do it myself but as I had gotten an ABN last year, I thought it best to consult an expert to legitimise the deductions related to my business. The head accountant there, Helen, did a very professional job, took a little time, however reaped a very good refund and made it all above board. Highly recommend, worth the cost.

Good place to unwind on a Sunday afternoon, with live bands playing relaxing music til the evening sets in.

One of the best for a good cut of steak, succulently cooked to your liking served with salad and chips or baked potatoes. Highly recommend the teriyaki steak - you will not be disappointed!

I found this business on WOMOW, and after reading some positive reviews I decided to try them out. The experience was as the reviewers had described, the wait was long but was well worth it. I have wavy, impossible to style hair and I came in with a photo of a cricketer with a hairstyle I wanted on my iphone, and the friendly and professional hairdresser (male) almost perfectly replicated it. For the money you pay, you get a cut and a style, and they straighten your hair using GHD straigteners and style using RPR products. Very professional and relatively cheap as well. Highly recommend.

I go there often to purchase rice in bulk. They provide competitive prices compared to the supermarkets as they sell at wholesale cost and provide a friendly service and if you are Sri Lankan they will even speak to you in Sinhalese! Good for Sri Lankan migrants who want feel a little at home

Outstanding service, these guys personally took the time and interest in handling my tax affairs and gave me the best refund possible.
