Maccabee

Although I did not try their other services - I did have a go at their parasailing which was heaps of fun. It wasn't too expensive and really relaxing. The admin could have been a bit friendlier but I gave them a break because it was a very cold Sunday morning. The guys on board were heaps of fun though and went through all procedures sufficiently.

Approximate cost: $60

It's alright to find roommates although is quite annoying with the communication barriers between other users. Slightly over priced but compared to the other websites for which you have to pay for this seems like the better one to go for.

Convenient, quick food. Service is very good. Very helpful with my selection process as I am a very picky eater.

Approximate cost: $8

It's a great, free website to peruse. It's got everything you could be searching for. Jobs, accommodation, furniture. Although, a relatively high rate of scams, but what can you expect from a free site.

Great for last minute deals and has places all over the world. Which is super convenient when spontaneous traveling.

It's a bit annoying that they don't have many centres to go talk to but it is well compensated with it's interest rates. I do love the idea of it being an external account because you can set up automatic transfers so you don't see the money and forget about it and end up making a fair bit of interest each month

Approximate cost: $0

It's cheap when you get specials but if there aren't any specials than it is definitely not worth it. Plus the delivery is pretty expansive.

I've always had bad experiences with hairdressers. This was the first time in a long that I had walked out of a hairdresser happy with the results. For a place in the valley, that is very modern and up market it is very affordable. All the guys in there are really friendly and young and have great ideas.

Approximate cost: $50-60

The CHEAPEST petrol in the area - any day of the week. The girls behind the counter also like to have a good chat. But you can't beat cheap petrol.

Approximate cost: $1.32

A nice, clean, modern building. You are always welcomed with a smile. Very friendly dentists and nurses. They even send you a friendly reminder before your appointment.
