I love love love Panchos. It's my local Mexican, and their food is fantastic. I highly recommend the lemon margarita - awesome. The staff are friendly, the dining loyalty card is a bonus, and I'm always happy to go back there. The food has never disappointed me, and the serves are generous. Definitely on my list of superb local eateries!

I contacted Ray White to ask for a valuation on my house. Two staff came to see me, and I found them to be professional, honest and upfront. It was a very valuable exercise for me, even though I decided not to sell at the time.

Their cooked chooks and salads are excellent quality. All the chicken is free range and, to my knowledge, hasn't been injected with any growth hormones or other nasties. I love to support local small business, and these guys do a great job. Their dinner boxes are yummy too, and good value.

Fantastic prices, friendly staff, lots of new cardio equipment in 2010. Nice amenities, including full change room facilities and showers. Their classes are great too, including a free one every Thursday (buns n thighs). A very competitively priced gym, even for non-University staff.

Fantastic experience. Have loved every haircut or treatment I've had at Serge Videl. Happy to go back, and pay extra. The staff are friendly, I get a coffee and lots of magazines to flick through.

Lovely food, friendly service and a bonus loyalty card. Get the card stamped and you'll get a freebie somewhere along the line - it's like a coffee card.

This gym has fantastic facilities. All the equipment is state-of-the art, there are plenty of treadmills, bikes, cross-trainers and steppers for clients to use. I loved that I could plug into the machine and watch TV, or listen to music! Beautiful shower/change facilities with hair dryers and straighteners provided.

Friendly, personal service with lots of help and advice. Great range of colour brochures to take away, and the staff will show you on a map where properties are (they may even suggest the order in which to look at them, if you have several in mind).

Huge place with plenty of seating and a good menu with lots of options. The cakes are nice, hot food comes out of the kitchen hot(!), and the coffee is well-made. On occasion the staff seem a bit grumpy but, overall, it's a good place for nosh and a catch-up with friends.

Very personable, friendly staff. They're full of ideas and advice on colour, highlights, style etc. Prices are reasonable, the place is warm and inviting, and you'll get a cuppa (or water) to sip on, plus a bikky. The magazines are up-to-date and fun to read, and they use good quality products.
