WOW, WOW, WOW.... these guys are behind the "MAgic" range of cleaning products that some grocery stores sell. My favourite is the Washing Machine Magic Cleaner and Protector.
Their slogan is "cleaning products that work for you and the environment" and they are fantastic.
Like any cleaning products, you are often unsure if they REALLY will work until you have already purchased the product. These products REALLY do work!!!
Great products and awesome local business who value their customers and have exceptional customer service.
If they keep up this standard of business, they will be around for a long time. Wishing them good luck for the future.

This review is for Aussie Farmers Direct, Richmond VIC

I tried using Aussie Farmers Direct, but to be honest I jsut prefer to buy my fruit & vege from local markets or fruit shops where I can personally select my produce. With a large family, I always found it difficult to judge how much a kilo of this or that would be and I would often end up with too little of certain items when I really needed more. This is just my personal preference and what I found didn't work for me.
That being said the quality of the produce was excellent and I found the prices fair for the service you get.

This review is for Fisher & Paykel, Cleveland QLD

Pretty much all of my household white goods are Fisher & Paykel and when they have eventually died, I ve had no hesitation in replacing them with another Fisher & Paykel product.
I have called the Customer Care people to get both my fridge and washing machine looked at when they were under warranty. The service guys arrived on time and fixed the problem with no fuss and best of all no mess left behind.
Very professional organisation and I believe value for money products.

This review is for Oaks Calypso Plaza Resort, Coolangatta NSW

We satayed in the 2 bed interconnectring rooms over the Christmas / New Year period, so the prices were inflated but quite reasonable compared to other places in the area. We are quite limited where we can stay due to the size of our family so we were thrilled to find this place that a) could fit us and b) was affordable too.
We arrived and found the rooms to be quite basic (nothing too flash) but that was fine, we happy to be away on holidays. We had air conditioning and a full kitchen (althoug small) and laundry.
During our stay we had a great time using the resort facilities and heading tot he beach. The kids were happy to skip the beach and hang out at the Lagoon Pool which had an island in the middle with waterslides coming off. This would have been great except the slides were mostly unavailable and closed?? (Don't know why?!?!?)
The most upsetting thing was when we came home and a week or so later we saw on our credit card extra charges for cleaning. I honestly was shocked as I did not leave the place so messy (it was NOT dirty, just needed straigthening up). I feel this was a grab for extra money... quite disappointing.

This review is for Reflection Tower Two, Coolangatta NSW

This place is pure luxury, it is expensive but sooo worth it. Coolangatta is one of favourite places in Northern New South Wales, it has fabulous beaches and awesome restaurants. Reflections is the icing on the cake to this backdrop.
There is a HUGE balcony overlooking the beach. The rooms are very spacious and you feel quite posh staying here. There is ducted air / heating, free broadband, heated pool and spa, sauna and gym. I loved the kitchen facilities - it was a much nicer kitchen than mine at home and I love to cook. This was a very decadent place to stay and was sooo fabulous. We came back thoroughly relaxed and wanting to go back!!!

This review is for Diamond Beach Resort, Cabarita NSW

One of our favourite places in Cabarita to stay (before we had too many kids and cant fit into their rooms!!) We often stayed here as we have friends who live in the area. They have great 2 bedroom apartments, nothing too fancy but very affordable. Making this a great place for a regular get away.
They have a heated ppol and spa, games room with table tennis, Foxtel in the rooms, but the best thing is that they are situated high on the hill overlooking the ocean. Views are amazing - I doubt you could find a better location with that view in all of Cabarita. We were always allowed to have a late checkout too....
The beach is right across the road and is very private and secluded meaning that there are not huge waves so great for the younger kids. If you are after surf - this is short walk around the rocks. Love it here soooo much.....

This review is for Gympie Caravan Park, Gympie QLD

We stayed here on a few occassion for a week at a time while my husband had work in the area. It was economical and a neat and tidy park. We stayed in the cabins, so we had our own shower and toilet plus a full kitchen. This worked out much cheaper for us than staying in a hotel room (where you often don't have a kitchen.
The cabin was airconditioned (great as we were there in summer) and we also had TV and quite a spacious room. We had a great time in Gympie. The owner or manager Richard was lovely too.

This review is for Coral Sands Motel, Mackay QLD

A great little place that we used to stay overnight on our way up to Cairns. The complex was neat and tidy and situated right in the heart of town, so close to lovely restaurants. There was also a restaurant on site but we didn't eat there. They have undercover carparking and wifi, Foxtel int he rooms. Air conditioned and fan in the rooms. We stayed in the motel rooms which was all we needed for an overnighter. We stayed here on the way back too and would happily stop there again.

This review is for Paradise Resort, Surfers Paradise QLD

THE best local place we have stayed with the family (6 kids!!!)
The resort is designed with families in mind and therefore is VERY kid friendly. There is a HUGE water playground that reminded me of the Wet and Wild. There is Kids Club, fantastic advernture playgrounds; pool and spa areas; poolside cafe. But the most amazing thing was PLanet Chill - an inceskating rink. This place is insanely fun for the family. We stayed in the Resort Room Interconnecting room. It was the BEST!!!!

Fabulous place.... will happily stay there again!!!!
