Have been going here for a long time. They have a points system and a card (like a coffee card) where after so many visits you get the next one free. I have always been happy with my colour, cut etc, but like all hairdressers, this depends on whether the same person does it each time. For me that person is Kia.

Sylvia is our consultant and has planned several trips for us. She is always very patient, especially as we like to do some things ourselves and can be a bit fussy. She has no problem changing arrangements if we need to, and is always quick to respond to emails. She is always friendly and welcoming, and eager to help with our next trip, and appreciates any feedback we bring back about our experiences.

Have used Macarthur Vet for many years (now our third dog), and it has changed hands in that time but we are still very happy. We always like to see Steve or Kathy, they are both friendly and highly competent. They were extremely compassionate when we had to have our old, sick dogs put to sleep. Most dogs balk at the front door of the vet's surgery, but ours just bolts in to say "Hi" she loves them so much!

Nick makes the VERY BEST pizza we have ever tasted (even better than in Italy!). Lashings of toppings, and very tasty. He does pasta, bruschetta, salads, gelato, & coffees too, but the pizza is to die for. Licenced eat in (small but comfortable) or take away.

Approximate cost: $About $35 for 2 people pizza, salad, wine or beer.

Repair work: most recent a burnt out solar hot water switch; as well as new installations. such as light fittings, powerpoints etc. Gives good advice about what is needed. Have used services in two different properties and always happy.
