I've used Andrew's Parking, for a couple of years now. The staff there are always friendly and professional and the drivers very helpful, loading your luggage onto vehicle and driving safely. Mini Buses always clean and comfortable and on time. I've never had to wait long, before leaving their yard, or being picked up at the airport. On my last trip, they went above and beyond (I thought). My 'carry on' luggage was overweight and after ringing Andrew's, they allowed me to rendezvous with one of the drivers, who kindly returned some of my things for me and they were safely deposited back into my car! Also, my return flight was cancelled, so, I emailed Andrew's with the delayed return information and I received an email response quickly and was only charged $5 for the extra day! I will continue to use the services of Andrew's Parking, because they provide excellent services, for reasonable prices. My car was there for 10 days.

Approximate cost: $99.00

One of my cats had a lump on it's neck, so I rang first, to enquire about the cost. Very detailed information given over the phone, on if the lump was a cyst, what procedure and cost would likely be, or if worse, again what the procedures were and likely costs. I then took kitty, into a very busy surgery! Vet nurse alone at counter, dealt with each of us quickly and professionally. The vet my kitty saw was very good. Thorough examination of kitty, kind and caring and detailed, simply explained, information provided. Overall, I was very satisfied with their professionalism and care. Sunday rates a bit more, but actually less than visiting a Human GP on a Sunday. Highly recommend these vets. Only surgery open 24 hours, for emergencies, in this area, too.

Approximate cost: $145.00

I've been parking my car here, for a few years now. Everytime I plan to go away, Andrew's Airport Parking is booked for the car's 'holiday' :) With taxi's costing so much, these days, (around $50 from Sth Morang, each way!!) it's actually cheaper and more efficient, for me, to drive myself and park the car here. I've never had to wait long to 'check in', staff are always polite and friendly and the buses, driven by friendly, safe drivers, usually arrive quite quickly. I also enjoy some of the other services available (indoor/outdoor parking option, car washing, car service etc), which saves me valuable time and prices are quite reasonable for the extra services, around the same as I might pay elsewhere. Allow extra time if there's roadworks on the Tullamarine Freeway, as there has been ongoing works for some time, now.

Approximate cost: $19 per day

Ah, the good old RSL. My friends and I love going to the Epping RSL, especially for large family functions! Booking is essential for larger groups and busy nights. Support your local RSL by becoming a member, too. Drinks are very reasonably priced, we've always found the food to be great and reasonably priced and service has never been an issue for us. For those that like the pokies, they are across the hall, from the separate dining room. Smoking area (yes..I know, but that's my one vice) is available. Good local venue.

Approximate cost: $15

As a fan of a healthy Boost Juice, this store is my fave, because it's my local! Great range of tasty drinks and the staff at Mill Park know what customer service is! Sign up for Boost Juice emails and every couple of weeks, if you're willing to have a laugh at yourself, there's always some sort of 'challenge', where you can dress up and score yourself a Freebie! The staff enjoy a giggle too, so, sign up as a member and reap the rewards.

Approximate cost: $5

Yay, there's The Cupcake Bakery, in South Morang, now. They don't have their own WOMO page yet, but my review still stands. They make the loveliest cupcakes and best of all, there's Gluten Free! I was already a fan of there regular cupcakes, but, having recently informed I am gluten intolerant, I was so pleased that The Cupcake Bakery does do two sorts of gluten free. The taste and quality of gluten free is not compromised, so, I'm still a happy customer! The range of cupcakes is great and average price is $4.50, but worth it. Plus, if you want a coffee with that, it's only $1.50 extra, so, that makes it 'regular' pricing for coffee and a cupcake, to me. Treat yourself to a yummy cup cake..go on!

Approximate cost: $4.50

I've been an OzSale shopper, for sometime now, but I must say, their 'Customer Service' is very disappointing. I understand and except that it takes almost one month, most times, to receive ordered goods, but, their Customer Service response is severly lacking. Be warned, you will have to take to Facebook, a public forum, to garner any sort of response and even then, you will still be kept waiting, invariably, having to take to Facebook again! They have a wide variety of goods, at reasonably good prices, but, you're sometimes left wondering why you bother at all! Tread carefully with this site! At least WOMO had the phone number I needed, because it ain't advertised on their site, so, thanks WOMO!

I searched all over Melbourne and checked a lot of catteries, for the right place to leave my cats, before I found The (wonderful) Cat Motel. My two cats have stayed here numerous times now, over the last 5 years and I wouldn't leave them anywhere else! The premises are spotless and comfy, Anthony and his staff are just the best, the price is right and my cats always come home happy and healthy. I couldn't ask for a better place, or better hands, to leave my kitty kats in, while I'm away and I highly recommend The Cat Motel, to anyone who cares about where they should leave their cats.
