I cannot speak highly enough of Kathy's treatment rooms at her home.

I met Kathy when she was working in a beauty salon. I followed her to her own business after she left.

Her salon is beautiful and the prices are great.

My waxing treatment has gone down from $60.00 at the salon to $35.00

Approximate cost: $35.00

HAHA! Where do I start with this useless lot.

My partner and I had our water/electricity etc turned on the day before we moved in as we were moving in on a Saturday. After receiving a parent like lecture from the owner of the real estate (he told us to try and fix any problems we encountered ourselves as our rent would be increased if the landlord had to pay for tradesmen to be called out), we were given the keys to our rental property.

When we got to the house we noticed that both of the bins were overflowing. We entered the house and heard water gushing. Went into the backyard and saw it was coming from the solar power panels on the roof. First I called my dad (a plumber) to see if he could help. He was away for the weekend so I called the real estate and told them I spoke with my dad and he said a plumber would need to come out to fix the panels. The real estate then asked me to call my dad to come and fix it as having a tradesman come out on a weekend would cost a lot. I informed him this was not possible. He then said he would come and turn the water off until a plumber came on the Monday. Having spent the morning moving from interstate I was sweaty, hot and the idea of being left without water for the weekend so they could save money on a plumber was out of the question. When the owner of the real estate showed up he turned the water off. I told him the bins would need to be emptied. He assured me rubbish collection was organised for the following day and that they also had a gardener booked to come and weed the garden as it was overgrown. The REA did organise a plumber to come out later that day, to be fair. Although our water bill was quite high after the water was wasted for 24 hours before we moved in.

The following two days went by and the rubbish still wasn't collected. I called to ask why. The REA told me to just put my bins out and it would be rubbish collection day in the next few days. Moving generates quite a bit of rubbish so I was very unhappy that I had to keep the rubbish in my house until the bins were emtied by the council two days later.

A few weeks later we received a letter in the mail from the RE asking us to tidy the overgrown garden as it was in violation of a tenancy act. I called the office and explained to the receptionist that I was told a gardener had been arranged to come out. She told me no one was in to speak to me. I ended up weeding the garden myself as no one ever called me back and I did not want to be evicted over the weeds.

When our lease was up I handed in my notice to vacate. A week before we moved out an open house was arranged. I overheard the REA telling a couple that my partner and I were very happy in the house and were only leaving as we had bought a property. This was untrue. We were moving due to the RE being completely unprofessional and rude. And we haven't purchased anything as far as I'm aware since we are still renting :/

Ordered a taco. The shell was stale. Taquitos were flavourless.
Only thing I enjoyed was the rice.

Waitress was over attentive at the beginning then no where to be seen toward the end.

Approximate cost: $15.00

Pizza is average - not good or bad.
Would only have pizza from here if there was a discount coupon because otherwise it's just not worth the money tbh.

Approximate cost: $12.00

Went to this dentist for an extraction. Dentist was seeing another patient at the same time as me. Took my tooth out even though anesthetic hadn't kicked in yet.
Rushed me out so he could see more patients. $$$$ hungry...?

Booked in for waxing and was seen to as soon as I arrived for my appointment.
Staff member was experienced and easy to talk to. Waxing was moderately priced, atmosphere was pleasing. I have been looking for a new waxing salon for a while and I believe I have found the one! Have re-booked for next month as I was quite impressed.

Approximate cost: $45.00
