"Pippi has been getting groomed by Karen since 2012. She is not an easy dog to groom and tends to wriggle around. Karen manages to not only groom her while shes moving but also achieves an amazing finish. Though not happy with grooming itself, Pippi always looks forward to her visits and enjoys being able to run around the garden and play with the other dogs. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone who wants their dogs groomed due to her excellent skill with any dog. (Kathryn Alabaster, Pippi- Maltese/Shih tzu)
Karen, the owner of Poochi Parlour, has clipped my Mini Schnauzer Sid, since he was a puppy. He was one of the first dogs she did a Mohawk on, and everyone loves it. He absolutely loves going there and has a great time with the other dogs. Karen is a Excellent Groomer and I wouldn't go anywhere else."

Dean offers many years of painting experience, but with a multitude of characteristics that we see as unique. Dean is absolutely professional in how he operates, is prepared to go the extra mile, and will always offer advice to ensure the best outcome for his client. He is very prompt with his quotes and we have found his team of painters courteous, efficient and trustworthy.
We would not hesitate to recommend Dean and his company to anyone seeking a professional painter".

It is set among 220 acres of pristine native bush and forest and 3 acres of gardens. The bush walks are excellent and the bird life many and varied. The rooms are all kept in character apart from a few modern accessories (heater and electric blanket) and the evening meal ($35/Head) was excellent. The rooms are great value and include breakfast of cereal, fruit and toast with coffee and tea. Victoria, our hostess was most accommodating and extremely helpful.
There is no TV so bring a few friends, a pack of cards and some wine, or your children for a relaxing stay in wonderful, natural surroundings. It is well worth the visit! Bring your eftpos card as they do not yet accept credit cards.

You were extremely helpful from our first telephone conversation through to completion. Your ability to listen to our requirements and work within our budgets to put together a fantastic combination of colours fabrics and features is testament to your skills. The time was also very good liaising with suppliers to ensure delivery targets were met. Baden, Glenda, Liza and I are very pleased with how the project turned out. Since that time it is pleasing that a number of other eHaus builds around the country are also choosing to use your company to provide the same level of professional support from both colour and fittings on their lovely new homes."
