Magnificent gourmet pizzas made with fresh ingredients. Truly some of the best pizza I have ever tasted :) Gluten free options available. There is also the option to "build your own pizza", where you choose all your own toppings. This is ideal for a person like myself with multiple food sensitivities: I was able to just choose the toppings that I am able to eat, rather than having to ask them to remove half the toppings from one of the pizzas on the menu.
The service is excellent, the staff truly bend over backwards to make sure that customers are happy. Once I ordered a home-delivered pizza online, and when I discovered they had accidentally included a topping that I was allergic to, I called and they immediately sent a free replacement pizza. (and I gave the first pizza to a friend!)

I love this website! I bought cosmetics that are normally only sold in the USA, for about half the advertised online price in US department stores. They were posted promptly, and I received a free gift of a Calvin Klein eye shadow... all beautifully gift wrapped! Their service is excellent and their prices unbeatable, highly recommended :)
Phenomenal, amazing Indian food that has caused me to return again and again. Huge variety to choose from on the menu, including an exceptionally large range of vegetarian options. Friendly staff and great service.

My favourite website for buying books. Fishpond offers significantly lower prices on most books, and FREE shipping on all orders... even from overseas. I have bought numerous books from them and one DVD, and altogether I've saved quite a lot of money. I also love that they offer many hard-to-find books.
This has been my favourite Thai restaurant for years. Delicious, fresh, authentic, AMAZING Thai food. Great service. I have a number of food intolerances, and the staff are always very happy to adapt dishes for me to make them gluten free, and to take out other foods that I cannot eat. Restaurant is always very busy due to its popularity though, so booking is essential.

My favourite fish & chip shop in the world :) I make regular pilgrimages to Tooradin with my family to partake of these fish & chips. The best fish & chips I have ever tasted... the fish is fresh out of the sea... AND you can have everything cooked gluten free!! (which is difficult to find.) Also, everything is cooked in rice bran oil, which tastes much cleaner than food from other fish & chip shops.
Our favourite thing is to drive around the corner and eat fish and chips by the river or beach, but there's also the option of eating inside the shop/cafe on a rainy day.

Magnificent Indian food, cooked in the traditional ways. I had Chicken Vindaloo, and my tastebuds died and went to heaven! The service was excellent, nothing was too much trouble, and the owners/staff are very friendly.

Nikki was recommended to me by a friend, and has been cutting my hair for about 4 years now. Her skills are excellent. I've found myself thinking several times after having haircuts, "Wow, I didn't know my hair could look this good!" I just don't think I'd ever been to a hairdresser as talented and skilled as Nikki before. She also cut my hair in such a way so that it still looked great as it was growing out, so that if I wanted to wait 3 months before having my next trim I could. She always spends a lot of time listening and asking questions to make sure that she understands exactly what I am wanting, and she always cuts my hair exactly the way I ask her to.
I am actually moving to Queensland in a few weeks, but I want to try to keep coming to Nikki to have my hair cut when I come to visit my family here. It is just so hard to find a really good hairdresser!
Nikki and Tayla are both delightful people. Their salon is always a happy and friendly place, where everyone feels welcome. All clients are well looked after, and nothing is ever too much trouble. And their prices are very reasonable... this is the best value for money hair salon that I know of.
