This review is for Stamford Plaza, Brisbane QLD

Stamford Plaza is definitly one of the nicer places to stay in Brisbane. It has beautiful views of the Brisbane skyline and the rooms are nice and modern. The hotel has fabulous restaurants, they are a little pricey but everything is of excellent quality. The room service French Toast was the best french toast I had ever had, I think I would go back just for that! The staff are so friendly and eager to help, I would definitly stay here again.

This review is for Swiss Grand Resort And Spa, Bondi Beach NSW

My husband and I were taking our first trip to Bondi and thought we would splash out a bit and book a hotel that was a little more expensive than we would normally spend as most of the hotels in Bondi seemed a little shabby. We were pleasantly surprised by the Swiss Grand as the hotel itself has a lot of character and history that fits perfectly with the Bondi atmosphere. The rooms have been updated and are large and comfortable. If you are going to stay here an ocean view room is a must or there is just no point. The balconies have the best view of Bondi Beach and it's the perfect spot to sit back with a glass of wine and people watch. There are also good restaurants in the resort but it's right in middle of all the Bondi cafes and restaurants so there are so many dining options. This would be the only place I would stay if I returned to Bondi.

This review is for Zuji, North Sydney NSW

This site is great, on a recent trip to Noosa I had already booked some accommodation through the hotel directly but was trying to find a better deal. I searched all the other hotel sites I knew of and then stumbled across Zuji, I was delighted to find they had the hotel I wanted at a much cheaper rate. Basically by booking with Zuji I got one night free which was fantastic as we could use that extra money for our holiday. Would recommend Zuji for anyone looking for a good deal.

This review is for Hilton Surfers Paradise Hotel & Residences, Surfers Paradise QLD

This is easily the best hotel in the heart of Surfers Paradise. It's rated 5 star and it definatly lives up to that rating. The rooms are stylish, very clean and roomy. We have stayed 3 times and it's so worth the extra for a ocean view because you get the bonus of a Cavill Mall view at the same time. The pool area is amazing, there is a kids pool aswell. We love ordering cocktails from the pool bar and in summer they having pool attendants that come around offering you sunscreen or a spray of evian water for refreshing! It's just so glamorous! The only pitfall is that you have to pay for parking which I feel should be including in the cost of the room.

I've stayed here twice and on both times I think the hotel let itself down quality wise. Firstly it's a fairly expensive hotel so you expect the best when you get there, unfortunatly that's not what you get. The cleanliness of the hotel needs major improvement, for such a nice new building it's a shame that there are scuff marks on nearly every wall, hand marks on all the glass and dirty carpets. The first time we stayed there, there was construction going on so it blocked the entrance on one level into the hotel. For a hotel with two towers this can get quite confusing. On the second time we stayed there, our room wasn't ready until 2 hours after check in is allowed. It's a great location but needs alot of improvments.

This review is for Shiny Nails, Mount Gravatt QLD

This salon is ok but needs a little updating, it's also quite small so can feel crowded if they are busy. They do a reasonably good job on nails but the last time I was there I got an eyebrow wax which was not worth it. I had to go home and tweeze because she hardly got any hairs at all. There are alot better nail salons around.

The girls here do a great job, I often get a the manicure and pedicure package for $50 which is great value. I've had numerous different girls do my nails and they have all been good, they also use very good quality products.

This review is for Prime Building And Pest Consultants, Windsor QLD

We used these guys when we bought our house and needed a Building and Pest Inspection. We were happy with their service. They offered a competitively priced package for both services and were available within a couple of days. They were professional and punctual, they gave the house a thorough inspection and sent us through a detailed report afterwards. I would use them again.

This review is for Brides By The Bay, Capalaba QLD

This store has a good selection of bridesmaid gowns but if you want to make sure you get your dresses before the wedding order a really long time in advance. We ordered 6 months before the wedding and got them one week before, hardly any time left for alterations.

This is such a sweet little store. We bought everything we needed for my son's christening from here like the bonbonerie, his suit & the candle & box for the church. Everything was done beautifully and it was so convenient buying everything from the one place. I still use the box they decorated with his name to keep all his keepsakes in.
