  • AnnaLee UraEveryone has different experiences. Titan was shocking for us. Appallingly bad. MSI got a bad rap on here but I've only had good experiences with them. My Mum got a quote from a place in Ashmore for $800 and when she took it to MSI they told her she didnt need all that ~ when they easily could have told her she did and take her money.
  • Michelle O'KeefeTITAN AUTOMOTIVE........NO WAY !!!!!!!! I know of heaps of friends that have had work done, including myself, and needless to say, the car has come away with more troubles, or work only half done. Find someone else would be better idea.

Car - hire  in general and transfer / shuttle to airport: 
  • Bec de Graaf AVIS in Nerang? I just looked at the website briefly, and without any discount codes etc, one day from Nerang to Brisbane Airport is $51 for a small economy car 
  •  Amanda JeffriesCon-x-ion only charge 30 or 40 dollars from upper coomera to brisbane airport. And thats a shuttle. I would look on their website.
  • Georgina PearsWe left our car at bris airport in October for a week and it was $99 - I thought that was pretty good... Online bookings are cheaper
  • Jacqueline Joycei recently was in an accident and found budget car to be the cheapest
  • Scott StevensMake sure they allow one way hire and see if they have any cars that need to be taken to the airport on your travel day. You might get a great deal if u r not fussy 're make and model
  • Bec de GraafI hadn't thought of this before, Northern Gold Coast Community, but I thought it was cheap too! I have 4 kids...if we were to pay for all of us to go on a shuttle, that ends up being a chunk of change!
  • Sheila Lorrainedont forget though - you will get hit with a one way hire car charge which is about $100 on top of the hire
  • Mark MatthewsAirport transfer- MSG ME or call 0455314106 for details.
  • Geoffrey CollingsYou wont do much better than driving and parking at airport parking building.check out their wesite but at $99 for a week undercover and camera security cant go wrong. This is at international. Havnt done domestic.
  • Melinda WildingIt's so cheap to park at the airport now if you book it in advance. It's great.
  • Gabriella BrezovszkyWe are doing this every time we need to fly! Avis won't charge extra for one way hire, you can pick the car up from nerang and drop it at the airport.we are usually pre booking on their website.small car is around $50 for morning till evening hire large sized (SUV or similar is around 90) you should pay for fuel and toll at the gateway bridge, but it's still better value than other transfers if you are traveling with someone else.
  • Anne SmithAvis in great & have people do that all the time!!
  • Kaya GodsmarkFor a family it's a good idea, we done the se wen returning from our trip n was so good to just get n a car n drive home' was about $60
  • Michaela SeahAndy's car rentals or east coast
  • Stacy ChanWe are a family of four and it is cheaper for us to drive to the airport, park the car for 3 weeks in undercover, secure parking and pick it up after the holiday than it is for us to catch the train there and back - less than half the price. Ridiculous.
  • Cherie FrostWe parked at the airport for $99 for five days. Book online. Was too easy.
  • Peter SmithBe aware of rental companies their contracts are extremely well written for them not you. If you don't take the extra insurance and you even scratch that car the excess is usually $3, 000 please check first I doubt it will be only $51. Cheers
  • Alexandra ProudfootWe always use Avis when heading to brissy airport (which is often) if it is just me, then I will use con-x-ion and it is around $47, if there is more than one person, Avis is the way to go! All up it is about $49 for the car, $10 to top up the feudal near the airport and a couple of dollars for the toll! MUCH better value as Avis is the only company that does not charge the different drop off location surcharge.
  • Tom CoyleRussell Ollington's will get you to the airport either Gold Coast or Brisbane and he will pick you up when you get back and return you to your door all for $65. Russell Ollington , just private message him
  • Roselyn Drakedepends how many people many = taxi ; one = Con-x-ion - Airport Transfers to Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sydney ...
  • Nat DavisWe always use connections.
  • Claire EdleyWhen there were 7 of us we hired a car to the airport and back via vroom vroom
  • Ashleigh CarvellconXion
  • Wayne ShelleyThe trains station to door. We used it once and we suitably impressed considering the price compared to ConXion etc
  • Tania MackieI always use AnyTrans... They seem to be the cheapest and he's really reliable
  • Andrea ForbesWe are in Oxenford n use the train to Brisbane - shit load cheaper than shuttles n u are right there at the lift
  • Celeste WatsonAustralian meet and greet. They picked us all up from all different locations and were at the airport waiting for us when we got back. Return for 3 different locations was $220. So really wasn't that much devided amongst us.

Dog - swimming off-leash areas Northern GC:
  • Katy B Grainger I don't know about upper Coomera, but there's a great park on GC HWAY at the end if North St, Southport that's off leash and has a beach. Next to the blue bait shop
  • Christine Marsland Helensvale Road..towards the big roundabout on the left hand side (from Helensvale)
  • Barkroyal Boutique Pet Resort I find it just a quick if not quicker to get to Currumbin Dog Beach as it's straight down the highway and no congestion. It's also a much nicer beach area for the dogs.
  • Angela Meddings I found a great little beach at Paradise Point. Google dog parks Northern Gold Coast and it will take you to the council web site.
  • Tanya Harich Apparently part of Broadwater is. from big round about to Burrows st from 5am to 8am and then 4pm to 7pm? Friend told me this the other day- have yet to confirm. Hope so!
  • Joanne Korner montery quays
  • Anna Bananna Cabbage Tree Point?
  • Tracey-Lee Whyte Saltwater park has a off leash fenced area with a little lake! A bit smelly at the moment because no rain lol. Its a nice park not many people. Cnr Halcyon and helensvale road helensvale right opposite Halcyon retirement village, have fun!
  • Paradise Point Gold Coast  Stay tuned the council are currently organizing for the area north of sovereign islands bridge to be an off leash dog area. There is also the off leash dog park at boat Harbour park that is an off leash dog area that the dog can swim. Not huge alternatives but a lot less of a drive

  • Jessica Bailey heidi mackay 0403053592, she was fantastic with our Rotti pup, in one lesson he changed dramatically!
  • Paulette Kulak Be very, very careful about sending your dog away for training. The best training will be when you are with your dog, being shown how to do things. You should be training your dog, not someone else. A good trainer will give you the skills to practice this on your own. Please be sure to find a trainer who uses positive, humane methods and does not advocate check chains and harsh training methods. I know of too many people who have sent their dogs off to training and have gotten back dogs that have been emotionally damaged.
  • Pearl Rose So true Paulette, our childhood dog went away for training and was never the same, when we picked her up and they took us through the new training we could tell it was far too harsh. Wish we had done it differently

  • Sarah Louise GaltonDon't all kids get free cleans and check ups with medicare now? Had a letter through two weeks ago advising me of this and we are a working family. Ortho has an annual limit which isn't high unless something has changed that's why I decided against it.

Internet Service Providers:
  • Trish RobertsTry iinet!
  • Rachii Benjaminiinet is so crap I've been with them before worst experience
  • Anna BanannaIinet
  • Kathy Gustafson-Phillipswe're with Telstra...really good so far, no problems at all
  • Diane ParryOn the net are good. Telstra is so expensive and its not unlimited unlike most of the other providers.
  • Delwyn Dee Hooks-Tuaivaafaui was with iinet hated it only good thing was there service when ringing them
  • Megan Laubscher-CurleyIinet is the best! By far the best customer service and have always answered any of my questions! I wish I had changed to them sooner!
  • Sedg WhiteWestnet is fantastic. Great customer service. I have been with them for several years and no problems at all. I am on the $59.95 per month plan.
  • Tabatha FurnellHi Clint, we just got ours put on a week ago with DoDo, we are on the new NBN (fastest internet out ATM) and pay $69 a month for 2000GB no contract, or they do unlimited for $59 (with 24month contract) And there is no need for a ph line.
  • Helene RacicDepends on what ur requirements are . Unlimited dosnt actually ran that . You will get to a point then they start to buffer it . Slow it down . If you do movies and music then u need the speed . I have Telstra . 200 gig . Very fast internet , live P Point . I think just talk to them all and take into account what your needs are .
  • Katrina BeagleyI've been with Dodo for about 4 years now - VERY HAPPY. Only communications company I know of, that calls you towards the end of your contract, to see what products might be better for your current circumstances, and then gives you a month free (mobile) to thank you for your loyalty.
  • Craig McDonaldTelstra, Optus, Dodo, Iinet, TPG, OnTheNet, Internode....... There will always be someone who has a gripe with one of them. Just look for a plan that suits you and your budget. Goodluck http://broadbandguide.com.au/plans
  • PhilandNadine FairweatherneeBurischTelstra regularly calls us to check.. Always had great service

    Our area (paradise point) Doesn't do naked adsl, I don't know if it is the same in Labrador, so we had to get the phone line

  • Mel RigbyInternode offers good deals, good range, no long contracts
  • Nicolle CrockerNever had a problem with dodo
  • AnnaLee UraIt totally depends on where you live. You need to speak to locals and find out which companies will not work in Labrador. There are pockets on the Gold Coast for which anything other than a Telstra owned line will not work,
  • Alex KechelI've got only good things to say about TPG. Good speed, competent customer service. Very reliable over the past few years. I also use them for my mobile - using Optus's network.
  • Kathie SmithWe were with iinet prior to moving to Upper Coomera, we were very happy with them. We no longer have broadband as Telstra doesn't have enough ports to provide internet services to the area, poor form Telstra!!!

Pet Insurance:
  • Paulette Kulak I did a fair bit of research and chose Pet Plan. I think Medibank Private's pet insurance is much the same. Be wary of RACQ that put it on your home insurance, it's very cheap but I think it only covers up to $500 which is nothing. You need to decide what you really want the insurance for, if you want it for everyday vet visits you will be paying a higher premium. I elected to only have coverage if bill is over $250 and it pays up to $10,000 I think from memory. It costs me $42/month.
  • Tracey-Lee Whyte  i have pet plan and have never claimed!!! My girl is coming up to 12 years and they say if anything happens i have to pay 35% of costs???? Am sure this has just come in and i can't change now as she is 12. Can't win with ins companies:( lots to choose from now. Think Medibank  is good and bow wow meow? Good luck -  Thats what i have Paulette, be careful of it going up once they reach a certain age:(Melinda Brayshaw PetPlan.
  • Paulette Kulak Medibank apparently does the same thing, a big loading as they get older. It is so unfair.
  • Evie Smith Pet plan has been great for us - Unfortunately with age they discriminate even though some 12 year old dog breeds are at less risk of injury than say a puppy in some cases. So they either charge you extra or cancel your policy..
  • Katrina Baker There are 2 types, the accident type with most main insurance companies. (None of them really cover pre-existing conditions)Then there's the type the Vet companies provide. It is more like a kind of health insurance. It's for things that actually happen during the year-you usually get free checkups, blood tests, and each one provides different items. Usually get an extra $100-200 worth for the year. Hope this is helpful.
  • Roz Cassar We went with woolies and just had pur first claim( tick bite) no probs with claim very happy
  • Tracy Drain I have Manchester unity and they have not increased my price in 6 years..just had my first claim and it was dead easy.
  • Nadine Hartney We are with Woollies too...you can chose your level of cover, and we find it very affordable
  • Janelle Spence Woolies! Been with them for 18 months. They are great.
  •  Michelle Vincent I've insured my cat through RSPCA pet insurance. They have a few policies that may suit your needs.

  • Nat Davis First national Oxenford. Hmm. We rented a house in Benson st, Ormeau. They don't believe in sticking to the law. The lash there, we had dealings with when they were viva reality. They let people in without giving the proper notice. They let someone in when I was in the shower. Just gave them the keys. We got abused multiple times by tradesmen and smoke alarm people, when I refused entry. They definitely were not people I would rent through again. When I expressed concern, the lady told me they were from South Australia and the Qld laws do not apply to them. I have all the paperwork and correspondence through them, if you and Vic want to come and have a look. As a renter and a owner, I would stay away from them.

  • Natasha 'Bug' Taylor Didn't realise the AWL were open late. They're our usual vet and are also fantastic...much better price too
  • Dell Palmer try the AWL phone no. 5594 0111, and there may be an after hours contact for emergencies

  • Sarah Doolan I second Family Vet at Pac Pines. Stefan is wonderful and cheaper than a lot of other vets.
  • Evie Smith Oxenford vet surgery I've found to be cheap, kind and great with animals. Was close to price of Jacobs well ( have been there before). But different vets charge different prices depending on what you need/want. Whilst one may be cheap for one item can be dear on another. I'm pretty sure Animal Welfare League  let you pay off amounts if needed.

Wedding Venues:
  • Tee Lee I had mine at The Vibe HotelThey had a great affordable wedding package that only cozy around $5-6 Grand for EVERYTHING
  • Shelley North  look at Evergreen Garden Venue in Parkwood - soo gorgeous! Like a  classy fairyland. 
  • Nicole Little Tamborine Gardens wedding resort is perfect for small or big weddings, I had mine there in 2012 and had 35 people - was wonderful!
  • Olivia Barker Try Helensvale golf course - We were going to have our wedding there cheapest I found for food and venue we decided to have ours at home
  • Peter Smith You cannot go past the Gainsborough Greens golf club at Pimpama it was perfect. Talk to Denise 
  • Carolyn Choyce the function area at The Boardwalk Tavern, Hope Island…
  • Kylie Stutchbury Rosser Park Botanic Gardens I think it's bundall. Free but you do have to gain permission and book through the council.
  • Fiona Pud Hargreaves I'm currently planning my wedding for 85 people but keep coming across venues that only cater for up to 50.Www.evergreengardenvenue.com.au is at parkwood and looks amazing.This is a holiday mansion in tallai that allows weddings for up to 50 people. It has it's own pub and sleeps around 21 people. You can arrange everything yourself, including alcohol, which would save a lot of money.
  • Christine Main I know 'Hilltop on tamborine' has a chapel and reception area with views of the Gold Coast ....
  • William Baulch Waterfire Restaurant and Bar
  • Lauren Wood The average price is $80-120 per head incl. beverages if you want reasonable location or caterer! You can get cheaper but guests buy their own liquor, venue is kinda trashy and cake is home made! The perfect location is at eagle heights mountain resort. If it's a clear perfect day you can see all the GC and the costs are low!
  • Joanne Liakatos Waterlife restaurant and bar @ Gold Coast city marina. Coomera. Right on the water surrounded by million dollar boats( you can even have your ceremony on back of one).
  • Amanda Maykin just wanted to point out Rosser Park isn't free - my brother is getting married there next Saturday.
  • Kelie Masters I style weddings and have done a few at Gainsborough greens at pimpama. I also don't believe that you have to pay $80-$120 or it's trashy! Surf clubs are nice and affordable. Rosser park or any council owned park or beach is NOT free anymore.Most of my brides weddings are all under $7000. My motto is you don't have to break the bank to have a simply wonderful wedding! 
  • Kelie Masters I also know a lot of cake makers who aren't trashy or home made for great prices!
  • Coleen Cupitt Heather Munro there is a Facebook group called Everything Bridal Gold Coast please come on over & join, so many lovely brides like yourself doing their weddings on smaller budgets minus the trashy venue & homemade cake, I am one of those who only spent $2500 & not a trashy venue or homemade cake in site!!!
  • Janet Essex-Shepherd Have a look at Coolabah Downs. They have their own little chapel. http://goldcoast-weddings.com.au
  • Stacey Schinnerl-Martin Rosser Park Botanic Gardens are NOT free to use anymore. My wedding was was one of the last freebies (last year). They now sting you $251 - which wouldn't be so bad if they could guarantee your spot but although they take your 'booking' nobody is there 'minding' your position. So even if you've paid and reserved a certain place, you could turn up and there'd be other people there. You then have to move them on
  • Chelsie Brett Riviera Yacht Club - Waterfront Restaurant & Bar
  • Steph Appleby Crowne plaza at broadbeach was a great venue for a wedding
  • Celebrations Made Simple Hi, yes I second Botanical Gardens is now $251 to hire and it does not guarantee you a spot - ridiculous. Any other park is $93. Beaches are still free. There are hire houses you can use, the one mentioned above in Tallai is great and there are another couple in Tallai that you find through Stayz, they are great however be mindful that there are noise restrictions, etc and you need to be having a "family gathering", not a "wedding" due to council regulations on party houses. Other than that, lots of people hire halls and have family help decorate, etc. This is a great way to involve people if you have lots of family that want to contribute to making your day special. There are some great options for budget concious brides here on the Coast. If you need anything for your ceremony or reception let me know if we can help. Stacy

A wedding does not have to break the bank. Feel free to email me if you would like any assistance crystalmorrisevents@gmail.com
  • Melissa Lindsay Monaghan Vibe Hotel in Surfers, had our wedding there in August, couldn't praise them enough for their work, meals are brilliant - definately considet it, you have you ceremomy and reception in the one place so no need for driving and your guests can book a room and stay overnight, we got a complimentary nights stay which was fantastic- all the best.
