I was on the hunt for furniture to fill my new home and walked away thrilled with my new purchases. I have ordered a custom made couch with a fantastic fabric that has only cost me $46.00 per metre, a coffee table and a couple of really lovely vases. The ladies in the showroom were very friendly and super helpful. Got exactly what I was looking for.

So much classier than typo or Kikki D, the items sold here are really well made. Indeed they are specialists in stationary and paper products. I often find myself buying little gifts for my friends and familia when I am in here. They do their own printing service for engagement and wedding invitations etc and if you so desire you can even choose wax seals as a finishing touch! Totes the real deal. If you want to check out the rest of their offerings, hit up their website. It has most of their catalogue online.

Awesome results. Friendly, trustworthy and professional. Know their stuff and priced appropriately…read more Thanks.

The last time I had to hire a plumber, Hoffman Plumbers came to the party with flying colours…read more What you will get from Hoffman is a solid work done for a fair price. Old school, no nonsense, great work and no heart attack when the bill comes. That's what you want, and that's what I've had from Hoffman Plumbers. The vanity unit the plumber connected is heavy mahogany, marble and brass. That didn't stop the guy lifting it, and somehow carrying it through the bathroom and setting it down at the right spot before connecting it. That alone shows the above and beyond level of service - you can trust these guys to get it done correctly.

The huge chandelier lights up the room, and as the floor is built in tiers, you look out on our beautiful city, and your heart beats away to a happy tune. I was excited to attend a recent charity event called TASTE that had Peter Gordon as a guest speaker. The guest list was down at around two hundred plus guests, and the staff and surroundings catered for us all to perfection. The main bar situated at the entrance was large enough to hold the guests happily, along with a few extra bars dotted around the different floors. The food served for this event was simply buffet champagne ham, and some artisan breads, which I thought was very tasty. The lavish decor, makes The Wharf a fabulous location for weddings, birthdays and big corporate events. The bathrooms located down the spiral stairs under the main area, are gorgeous. I was very pleased with the staff working at the Wharf, very warm and bubbly. I hope to be back for another event soon, as my night was really enjoyable.

Everyone. People gave up the treasures they were clutching in their grubby hands and ran over, and let me tell you, there are some considerable bargains here. This is the kind of goodwill this place gives. There are great deals, great bargains to find, cool stationery, hilarious greeting cards and just a well laid out store. This is what I want my Urban Outfitters gifts section to be like, but they've decided to turn up their nose at me. A lot of the designs run heavy on Paris, New York and skeletons - this is not a complaint. This is me wanting to buy a mini iPad so I can have one of their "Paris, je t'aime" iPad skin. I love it here.

There's lots of cool little knick knacks available that you don't see elsewhere (well not for these prices anyway) While the goods are evidently mass produced in some third world country, if your a trade aid groupie, probably best not to shop here. They are constantly having sales on already reduced prices which you can't really complain about. I have found many canvas prints at Typo that are currently hanging out pride of place in my apartment and little lantern fairy lights that just look awesome hanging in my bedroom
