used these guys to move house. they took quite a while with the initial packing which first made me worry about about the hourly rate creeping up... but in actual fact they were taking great care wrapping each piece of furniture in blankets to prevent damage and at the other end the speediness of unpacking the van more than made up for this. also arrived on time and quote was very accurate.

gorgeous self contained homestead in hunter valley areas. each of the six double rooms has their own ensuite making it great for groups. really well equipped with everything you would find in your own home. heaps of space, beautiful location

absolutely amazing location. with only 4 apartments and couples only, the retreat provides complete privacy and the units are totally luxurious with everything you could think of plus more. Staff are so helpful and willing to go the extra mile to make your stay special and memorable. the views could not be improved upon. so romantic and exclusive

Approximate cost: $500

Pallas has a beautiful studio set-up. Private appointments make the bride feel very special and exclusive. The quality of the materials and dressmaking process is exceptional compared to other bridal designers i have visited. They make the effort to design something to suit your figure and event and not just what is popular at the moment.

Great range of beers, spirits and drinks. Friendly table service and reasonably priced drinks. atmosphere is very good also, considering there is not much else around.
The food is very tasty and good quality, but a bit expensive and they tend to get a bit confused when asking for any changes to the menu items.

Approximate cost: $30+

went for breakfast on a sunday - was very busy and whilst the food was nice, it seemed a bit overpriced. Waitstaff were very helpful, but got a but if a feeling they were trying to rush people in and out.

I was advised upon making appointments that staff would not usually see birds, but as it was just routine nail and wing trimming they agreed, saving us travelling a long way to a specialist bird vet. It cost a lot more than would have expected, but they wree friendly and did a decent job without stresing out my pet (which is very easy to do)

Having made an appointment, it was very disappointing the staff did not provide any individual attention or even remember the brides name. People who had simply walked into the shop without appointments were provided with better service. Staff did not seem knowledgeable about what stles suit what body types etc and even claimed that the dresses were supposed to be uncomfortable!
