I see Dr Nick for a recurrently sore back and neck and he works wonders. Very happy with the service I receive!

Approximate cost: $30 after private health rebate (I think around 70 beforehand)

Delicious and well-priced food, the avocado smash is INCREDIBLE! It gets very crowded and it's quite small so you basically are on the lap of yours neighbours. Also would avoid in summer (Unless you can get a table outside) as it's not air conditioned. 40 people crammed into a small room on a hot day is not fun!

Approximate cost: $10-15

I love that it's easy to get a table here, the seating is comfy and overall it has a friendly, funky vibe. The breakfast is quite tasty, but the menu isn't particularly varied and it seems little more expensive than other breakfast spots on Carlisle st. Overall I'd recommend it, particularly if you want a relaxed, quiet morning to read the paper without being overwhelmed by other diners

Approximate cost: $16-20

Haven't had the breakfast but I've heard amazing things. The muffins are amaaazing but fairly pricey ($4.50) and the coffee is just awful! Very bitter, could barely finish it. Overall I feel this cafe is very trendy and a bit overrated.

Approximate cost: $coffee = 3.50 small

Best coffee on Carlisle Street, hands down! Also excellent value at $3. The muffins are also fantastic. The only thing I can fault is that the muffins aren't made early enough for me to grab one before work, but they make for a lovely weekend treat. Also a bit of a bummer that they're closest Sundays, but I guess the owner deserves a day off too!

Approximate cost: $3 for coffee

Was very happy with their work. Maybe slightly more expensive than other salons I've been to but it's worth it for all the little extra touches they give you like tv to watch (and distract from the rip!)

Approximate cost: $30 for bikini

I go to Lee and she is fantastic! Doesn't charge a fortune but does a thoroughly professional job. I am now a loyal customer!

Approximate cost: $140 half head foils + tone + cut

I could no recommend this company LESS and am shocked at the good reviews they have received! Perhaps my experience was a one-off.

We booked two removalists and a truck. I told the consultant over the phone that we were moving from a one bedroom apartment, that both buildings had lifts and that we were going from one suburb, to the next suburb over. She assured me that such a job would usually take around 2 hours (from past experience with other removalists, I agreed that that is how long it SHOULD take for a job of this nature).

To my disappointment, this was not the case.

The removalists arrived (20 minutes late) and complained that we did not have a car park prepared for them (despite the fact that the consultant who booked us in assured us this wouldn't be a problem and that it was the driver's job to sort this out). After my fiancé was asked to purchase a parking ticket for them, they proceeded to move our furniture as slowly as humanly possible. They worked so slowly in fact, my fiancé ended up doing quite a lot of the moving himself. After taking around half of the furniture in our apartment, the removalists then began to take boxes (which we had intended to move ourselves, because let's face it, we DON'T need to pay $100 an hour to move BOXES!) My fiancé asked them just to move the furniture as we wanted that done first, to which they argued, “We have just a little bit of room on the truck, so we'll take a couple of boxes just to fill it up”. This seemed quite reasonable to him, so he agreed, they then proceeded to spend a further hour moving two boxes at a time, far more than “Just a couple to fill the truck” as they had promised. At this stage, it was clear they were deliberately ensuring we would need to book more time with them, and thus pay more than we had originally planned. To confirm this, my fiancé said to them, “At this rate, it will take much longer then 2 hours” to which they replied, “No problem, we're free all day.”

I understand that you do not provide fixed rates for jobs, however, explain to me how it could possibly take 4 ½ hours to move from a 1 BEDROOM APARTMENT to another, ONE SUBURB OVER! It was obvious that these men were deliberately taking longer than necessary in order to make more money, since they had no more jobs booked for that day.

I find this practise absolutely disgusting. To make matters worse, I have found it near impossible to get in touch with a manager to discuss the issue further. There is no way known they would EVER get my business again!

Approximate cost: $425 for a one bedroom apartment!!!
