Emma Whiting and her associates cater for the discerning traveller (both leisure and business) that wants a top class service with qualified advice. Their knowledge, passion and pride is to be commended. I use them for my business and travels with my young daughter and they never disappoint. Have a look at the pics on the wall from Emma's collection. Splendid!

Multiple visits to Cafe Ivanhoe for breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea with my daughter or alone and service/quality never disappoints. Quality coffee and meals (specials changed on a weekly basis). Owner Paul is kind to customers and staff alike. He does care.

Homemade gelato is what get you there and you keep on coming. They also cater for ice-cream cakes. Friendly staff and coffee rocks too. Ended up having breakfast the other day and it was another big hit. Can't fault it.

Terrific weekend lunch at Gypsy Hideout. Salads and meals were amazingly tasty. Coffee was prepared carefully. Eclectic crowd that we like in Northcote.

Yummy lunch in beautiful setting. Service was impeccable and very attentive to our 5-year old. Coffee was excellent and pulled pork tacos to die for. We'll be back.

Rented bikes and trailer for a bike ride along the Lilydale-Warburton trail. Doug was super responsive by email as it was a last minute's request (due to upcoming gorgeous weather). By the time of arrival, everything was ready and of very good quality. Good job guys!

Approximate cost: $65

Super cosy burger joint close to amazing parklands. There is something for every burger lover (beef/chicken/fish). Service is friendly and good value. Highly recommended for families.

Approximate cost: $10

Used a Groupon voucher for two weeks during our vacation. Great value and super service from Marlene.

Perfect spot if after superfood/organic/trendy breakfasts/brunches/lunches. Dishes are full of flavours (Californian salad might rate as the most flavoursome salad I have ever had). Service can suffer from their popularity as it has been hit (more often) and miss (rarely but important to note). Keep on going back at whatever time of the day for a caffeine or superfood hit. Keep up the good work!

Chose to use Beyond Accountancy thanks to WOMO and Jarrod Rogers did not disappoint. Needed to set up best business structure in Australia and got very sound and practical advice from Jarrod. He knows his tax stuff and it shows when advising. Very friendly too which always helps! Has become my tax advisor for my Australian venture.
