After my washing machine dying overnight I had to make a mercy dash to get a new one and Rob at The Good Guys was wonderful, best service, best prices and generally a lovely guy. They have plenty of deals on at the moment for all types of things. Delivery costs were super cheap and they also offer a service to take my old machine away. Thank you for an easy enjoyable purchase. Very good product knowledge and I was given a quick run through of all the features the machine offers.

Approximate cost: $1200

I went in here today to buy a brand new $1200 washing machine after mine died overnight. The guy was so rude I left without a washing machine and will not go back into that store again. I have always bought my appliances from Harvey Norman in Queensland but that will now change. I managed to get the same machine cheaper at The Good Guys anyway.

Approximate cost: $1200

Bruce and his boys have been servicing both our cars for years now and never once have I had a problem, they will always ring you if there is something extra during a service before going ahead with it. Bruce and his staff are very friendly and speak normally not car lingo so I always knew what they meant and they always knew what I meant when I explained the whatsy is making this strange noise! (obviously I know nothing about cars). Very well priced and there is not much they can't or won't do. Only negative is it is hard to get down that long driveway sometimes but persevere as it is so worth it.

Approximate cost: $100

We called in on a sunday morning to this beautiful old bank building which has been turned into a cafe and bed and breakfast. It is such a lovely old building that still has the vault with the big door etc which the kids found so interesting but that is where the good ended. The older couple that run it, well what can I say? The lady at the front was so rude to everyone including her poor cook. The meal was good but a little overpriced. Good luck if you wanted another coffee, getting the first was a feat in itself and it didn't come with a smile! The B & B was packed to the rafters, we didn't stay there but there was a stream of people coming down the stairs handing in their keys so maybe check it out and just eat elsewhere.

This little post shop is just so helpful, I was chasing a certain product they get in at different times and the lady inspoke to on the phone was so helpful with details and even grabbed one off the shelf and put it on hold for me so I could pop in that afternoon to collect it and be guaranteed of getting one. Very small cosy shop but they make up for it in their great service.

Approximate cost: $19.95

I am loving this WOMO thing. I had to ring today to confirm a few little details and my call was answered very quickly by a lovely friendly girl. There was no sitting on hold forever, my questions were answered without any doubt. I think this is a really good idea to help all the struggling small businesses out there who are trying hard to keep their doors open in this hard time and also not be swamped by all the big names. Great rewards program to boot!!!

Approximate cost: $0

This small service station is really handy and always has competitive prices. They stock all the usual last minute things like milk etc.

We went around to get our gas bottle refilled and there was a problem somewhere so the guy was only able to fill it 3/4 way. It was cheap enough already only being $16.95 but due to the hiccup the guy told us to bring another bottle down and he will fill it for free. Wonderful service, very friendly.

Approximate cost: $16.95

We are taking our puppy to this vet for puppy kindy and it is so clean, the nurse runs the classes and she is just so lovely and gentle with the animals. Very informative sessions. The vet is also the owner so it is run very closely to maintain good service.

Approximate cost: $70

This cafe is really quaint and pretty. The food is lovely although a tad expensive. The view is to die for and so quiet and serene. The staff are run off their feet so not too much interaction which is fine as what you do get is polite.

Approximate cost: $20
