This review is for Shang Court Chinese Restaurant, Ashmore QLD

verified email - 16 Oct 2012

It's difficult to find a great Chinese restaurant but we were pleasantly surprised to find this great place.
The service was excellent, the food was fresh and delicious (the sizzling hot plates are fun and yummy) and the ambience is nice with a little extra care given to dress the tables nicely and candles which makes a big difference to me.
Our kids all enjoyed the food too (excellent entrees) and there are large tables for groups or intimate tables for 2.
It looked like it is a busy place so may pay to book ahead although we managed to get a table easily on a week night.

Approximate cost: $16

This review is for Fences Galore & Glass, Burleigh Heads QLD

We recently had to fence our pool to comply with new regulations and this company we chose because they've been established on the Gold Coast for many years and had been recommended. Great value and customer service and good advice when we needed something a little bit different to fit with our style and not compromise our view. We chose some great frameless glass panels. They do DIY also but it's worth paying a bit more to get the professional installation and we are really happy with the end result.

This review is for Decorative Lighting, Miami QLD

We are so excited and pleased with our gorgeous new fairy lights!
Tony has so much experience and gave us the best advice with integrity and a friendly but professional attitude. First we found some great ideas on the easy to use website, then we got a consultation. We don't think we could have had a better job done anywhere else and the end result is amazing, lighting up our waterfront yard for parties and special events now.
Decorative Lighting Company are a tree and building light-scaping specialist and they took utmost care not to harm our trees in any way. We now have an ambient light-scape and we LOVE it! I recommend you call Tony for any special event or wedding or party, he will only give you the best advice.

This review is for Fotti Outdoor Furniture, Bundall QLD

I shopped around for outdoor furniture for our new patio area and finally found a company that cared about finding the right solution for us. The quality is great but within budget.
We bought the Foti Modular Outdoor Lounge
The pillows and cushions have zippers for easy removal.
The service and advice was really great and I would definitely use these guys again.

Approximate cost: $3900

This review is for Pacific Patios, Burleigh Heads QLD

verified email - 16 Oct 2012

We recently had a new patio put up and we are so pleased with the finished result. We chose Pacific Patios because they had a wide range and their quality seemed better than most and it all fit in to our budget. I knew what end result I wanted and was really happy that their team got that and designed and delivered exactly what I had in mind.
They worked quickly and did a great job and we love the result.
They also recommended a blind company (Aussie Outdoor Blinds) to finish protecting the area from the wind, rain and sun so now we have a complete outdoor room.
This local family business delivered their promise and we thank them for making this a problem free experience!

This review is for Cold Rock Ice Creamery, Broadbeach QLD

verified email - 16 Oct 2012

A unique experience an fun. You choose your Icecream flavour, then the lollies or nuts etc you want to have and they smash it on a 'cold rock' board. You choose your topping.
It's well signed and priced so you know exactly how much it will be, a fun experience and great if you like lollies and stuff (gummy bears, m&m's etc) but I do love the taste of the gelato across the road better.

Approximate cost: $7

This review is for Bunnings, Southport QLD

verified email - 16 Oct 2012

This store is my favorite Bunnings. As a DYI lady, I like to browse but the best thing is the service I get here is always friendly and helpful and if they don't know how to help you they will find someone who does and not just fob you off.
They also match prices and recently I got a great discount (saved $30) on a fan I bought as they beat another store by 10% which I thought was really great. I always find what I need here for home renovations and odd-jobs.

This review is for Aussie Outdoor Alfresco/Cafe Blinds, Molendinar QLD

verified email - 16 Oct 2012

We shopped around for outdoor blinds but this company really know their stuff. We chose them on a recommendation and their sales presentation was the best, they answered all our questions and really helped us choose the right product.
They were not our cheapest quote but also not the most expensive and their quality seems to be better than all the others. We are so happy with our new blinds which created a new outdoor room. The blinds are all custom made and fit tightly just like they said they would and the colour matches perfectly with our decor.
I really recommend you give this local company a call as their knowledge and expertise surpassed all the other companies.
The installer was professional and tidy and they squeezed in our installation in time for our wedding anniversary party which was awesome because it kept out the cold wind!
Now we use this outdoor area ALL the time, it's my Favourite place in the house.

Approximate cost: $1000 each

This review is for Focus Crafts Giftshop, Byron Bay NSW

verified email - 15 Oct 2012

My daughters absolutely loved browsing through this little gift shop. Bracelets, jewellery etc. we bought a little dream catcher for $18, which I thought was a bit expensive but it was pretty with little feathers etc, and the lady said a little wish/rhyme to my daughter when she bought it which was cute. My other daughter bought a bracelet for $3 which reflects peace. Nice little shop & lovely service. Worth a browse when you're in Byron Bay :)

This review is for Earth And Sea Pizza, Byron Bay NSW

We had dinner here in a large group, and although we didn't book, the friendly staff made room for us quickly.
The pizza is awesome and hard to choose a Favourite.
Great food and accommodating staff, leave a tip and they ring the bell! It would pay to book ahead as they are always busy :)

Approximate cost: $25
