Great to come into a store and was directed to the area that had the relevant items. Easy to access and Kerri at checkout was a mind reader as she instantly applied the promotion without hesitation. Great range of household goods.
Christiane is able to tailor her wealth of tax related knowledge in great detail no matter the query. She provides outstanding quality advice in a clear and concise way. Highly recommended to those looking to understand more about their financial habits.
Staying here with the family and young one was extremely well looked after and both Justin and Skye at the reception were extremely helpful. Although the cleaners forgot to take the rubbish out on one of our days, our overall stay had no problems, as this was easily taken care of. For those travelling with a little one, it would have been good if there was a microwave in the room, to heat up infant bottles, however all other amenities were provided for. The massive plus was the parking available for those staying here, as this was easy to navigate where to travel.
Approximate cost: $800
Staying here was an extreme treat, for those who are looking for a venue in the CBD of Sydney. The staff members were of varying backgrounds as there was always a different person at the reception desk, who could speak another language (i.e. Japanese, Philippines and Pakistani) in addition to English. Wasim was the name and he was fantastic, we had a conversation about his name and the legend of the great cricketer turned influential leader of his country was a treat. All staff personnel are to be commended from the breakfast dining room to concierge as our questions and requests were provided with the best solutions. The only downside for the stay was the breakfast costs as on our last day, we had to pay extra if we were to have breakfast then.
Well done to the staff here for their friendly and helpful suggestions. Not from around the area there are two Makoto places located on Victoria Pde, more to the point was the delicious servings offered, the rice/donburi dishes were one to wet anyone's appetite. The young ones even had a great time out too.
Approximate cost: $80
This place is one to attend if you are short of time and need a quick meal to fill you up, similar to Yasan Udon in Melbourne. The meals are of normal price and what you expect for a filling meal.
Approximate cost: $9
Great intro to Sydney, as you could plan out what to see and do in the area. A must for all ages as you can spend as little time here or as much as you'd like to gain an understanding with the inside knowledge with how Sydney came to become what it is today. This is part of the Merlin entertainment passes, so if you have one you can skip the queue to buy tickets and pass directly in.
Approximate cost: $25
I took two cruises one before Christmas and one after New Years Day, on the 1st one, I had great guide in Brandon who was extremely knowledgeable with the commentary and even had a joke with senior staff members. On the 2nd one, the captain was a magnificent, he took a photo of a group of our family and you could see that he had to be aware of signals from his crew. The one way small trip from Barangaroo to Circular Quay was by a young captain, who made it adventurous for the little ones but kept it all within safety limits on the water. A definite highlight with numerous guests recommending a return on the Captain Cook cruises is a must. A definite must for those who want to see the Sydney Harbour Bridge or Opera House up close and to be part of the Sydney Waters open atmosphere.
Approximate cost: $140
Bunnings is aimed for those who are looking to improve their internal/external living conditions. I am amazed by the knowledge that their staff have in providing expert advice and ease of locating relevant goods. Keep up the good work as keeping things simple will satisfy outcomes for all parties involved. Perhaps, one day, 'free sausages are just the beginning', maybe.
I did not have to wait long, even though it was during the EOFY tax time saving, so as I had purchased my product online, and showed all the relevant information to Brigid F, she was extremely attentive and ensures she gets it right the first and every time. I was totally amazed by the operational equipment used, as the phone rang to inform her that my product was ready, she didn't even need to move from her area. Well done for having such conscientious staff, as I previously purchased a Philips Airfryer and that too was a breeze. I'm still waiting to use my concierge service, so hopefully that kicks into play during the World Cup.
