Dona is undoubtedly the BEST nail tech we have EVER come across. She does an incredible job, is well-priced, and a lovely lady. Her house is SO cute too! Love her work. EVERYONE should use her

An experience not to be missed. You eat in your own 'tent', on cushions and a low table. Such a good variety of dishes. Last time we went we were with a group of friends and just ordered a bunch of dishes which could be shared. Garuva is BEAUTIFUL. The bar at the back with the lounges is a great place to relax with a couple of drinks after dinner too.

We lived in Beenleigh until October last year, and, as locals, frequented YP often. The most amazing range and amazing quality! Consistently beautiful products at very reasonable prices. YP is an icon for a reason!

We rented our current house through them. Wendy is our property manager and she is WONDERFUL. Besides being lovely, we find that any repairs required are carried out quickly and without drama. Highly recommended.

When we were looking for a house to rent short term while we were looking to purchase, we approached a property manager here, without mentioning that we were looking to buy, and we were spoken to like we were scum. Offensive and will NEVER deal with them again.

with all this rain and six people in our house, I have recently become acquainted with this Laundromat. I like the size of the washers, and they all work! Clean floors and benches are a nice bonus. Close to two shopping villages so there is no shortage of places to grab a coffee while you wait.

We went here for the first time this week, and were not incredibly impressed. Average cinema, average prices. Usual selection of overpriced movie treats at the Candy Bar. Small arcade for the kids to play games.

Parking is an issue, but that's to be expected in Bendigo.

Three pools make this a great place to go and not be overrun with screaming children. I use the indoor pool a lot, as I'm asthmatic and I can use it all year - swimming is great for asthma. Excellent change rooms - clean! Massive car park and great staff.

THE place in Bendigo for all your screenprinting, signwriting, and embroidery needs. Located on Eaglehawk road it's easy to find. I think they are a little pricey, but their work is good and customer service excellent.

Racquel is one of the psychologists working here, and I see her regularly (I have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). She is a wonderful person to deal with. Very experienced and well qualified. I recommend her to anybody looking at some kind of assistance in this area.
