I was just visiting the Lot looking out for a Volvo for a mate. Eddie came over and was very helpful. Further his advice could save my friend from searching any more and even better, making a big mistake on the wrong Volvo. Eddie was never pushy. He just served me so naturally that it could not have been a fake. He even showed me my new dream car. A 2001 Jaguar. If I had the money I'd like to continue dealing with a car salesman like Eddie Chittick.

I have found this drycleaners to be very reliable over a long period ( years). They have never made an error with my clothing and it always comes back clean. And when I did need a minor repair it was no problem and did not cost much. Its a very plain shop but the quality and service is better than some.
Approximate cost: $3 for $11
Geelong CC is a fantastic location for a business conference or staff training day. It would be a bit too up-market for a Church camp but it would be great fun if you could afford it. Everything about GCC is top class but of course so is the price.
Nestled in Eastern Park, meant it was an easy 5 minute drive to the city or beach. And plenty of walking and bike riding tracks right at the entrance.
The pool is just spectacular. We stayed at the 4 bedroom unit. This was very luxurious and good value 4 star perhaps higher. All the members of my family ( 4 children aged 16 down to 7 years old) still rave about it.
Approximate cost: $200/night
I have had both very good to just ok experiences at Balsamic. Its right near the movies so a great location to follow dinner with a movie. It has pleasant modern decor that allows you to go outside on warm nights. Quite a view. But the quality and service is such a mixed bag at most times. Our last visit for example my cappuccino just wasn't hot enough. I know I should have complained but who to. There never seems to be enough staff for the volume of customers at the cafe/restaurant. This often frustrates movie goers who are on a tight time line for service. On the other hand the main course was very nice but more expensive than I was expecting.

I have never had a bad cut from this hairdresser. The manager/owner always looks over each client. I took my 12 year old son there. They were careful to get from him what he wanted. He was very happy with the result. It only took under 10 minutes and they finish with some product in the hair to style it. my son was blown away with how good they had made him look. He was quite sceptical before going with me.
And the price is as low as you can find. I have paid $30-40 regularly for haircuts where I leave less happy. And what makes me really satisfied is that for most of the following 6 weeks my hair looks good to ok.

The owners are obviously Italian. This is reflected in very authentic and high quality pizzas. The prices are competitive with other local pizza. Sometimes the service can be a little off hand and slow. They also have some other Italian foods. I found making a phone order meant I had a minimal wait.
Approximate cost: $9-11
Donvale Glass respond quickly to my call and made an appointment the next day. The guy who replaced the two different panes was pleasant and seemed knowledgeable. The job was finished in no time and you wouldn't have known they had been there from any mess left over. I thought they were cheaper than other businesses I had quoted.
Approximate cost: $100
The Indian food at Taj Agra is to die for. We had the banquet and everything was just superb. The service was sometimes a little slow initially but the longer the night the more happy I became. I thought it was good value but prices are on the high side for Indian cuisine. You really don't mind a few extra dollars when the food is this good
Approximate cost: $28.50
Everything about Bucatini is tasteful and seems elegant. The decor and lighting give a sense of quality that is not let down by the food. I thought the dishes I had were quite above an ordinary restaurant. Although the prices a higher than some I thought the quality made it worth it.
Approximate cost: $35
Natalies makes an immediate impact with its high ceiling and lovely decor. Its a very peaceful and restful atmosphere. The food is high quality for the price. Often we have gone there with shop-a-docket deals that make the value really great. The service is always efficient and friendly.
