Business Buddies
Glenn is proud to be mates with the following businesses and their respective teams and thanks them for their support too. All of them come with an unconditional GW Seal of Approval!
Eat, Drink and be Merry
Summit Restaurant
www.summitrestaurant.com.au
Celebrity Chef Michael Moore has me in a spin every time I dine here! (spin - revolving restuarant - get it?!) The food, the wine and the ever changing view - in a word "brilliant". If you haven't been to The Summit in a while then can I suggest you go back soon. Try the Orbit Lounge Bar for coffee & cake or a nice cocktail. The Summit recently turned 40 and is without doubt a beacon when it comes to standout dining in Sydney!
Otto, Woolloomooloo Wharf
ottoristorante.com.au
My favourite place for a long lunch here on the Wooloomooloo Wharf whilst enjoying the exceptional culinary creations of James Kidman and his team.Two hours can quickly become 5 - how does that happen?! Everyone needs to experience Otto at least once in their lives. If you're into great food & wine with a bit of celebrity thrown into the mix then Otto is the place to be. And say g'day to mine hosts Graham and Nikky if you drop in - they are awesome!
Harbourkitchen & Bar
www.harbourkitchen.com.au
The Park Hyatt at the Rocks has the most amazing position - under the coathanger, right on the Harbour, and directly opposite the Sydney Opera House. I often enjoy lunch at the Harbourkitchen or just call in for a coffee or a glass of wine or three.
Gazebo Wine Garden, Potts Point
www.gazebowinegarden.com.au
Paul Schulte and his team can turn day into night - well if you stay there long enough! A Friday afternoon lunch in the sunshine is legendary at the WineGarden, located at the old Gazebo Hotel site, 2 Elizabeth Bay Rd...at the back of Kings Cross. Good food and exceptional wine - with most premium bottles available by the glass too.
Byron Bay Premium Ale
www.byronbaybrewery.com.au
How could I not have a brewer in amongst my business buddies directory? And Byron Bay Premium Ale is no ordinary beer. It's the all natural brew that won't give you a hangover even after you've had a few! You've gotta love that! No preservatives, sugar or artificial colouring. Ask for Byron Bay Premium Ale by name the next time you want to lash out and try a real craft beer that tastes terrific.
Sydney Markets
www.sydneymarkets.com.au
If you've never been out to Flemington early in the morning (like 4am!) then you've got to do it at least once in your life - but watch out for the forklifts! Everybody's body needs fresh fruit and vegies and not only do the gang at the Markets provide us with the freshest and best of fruit, vegies and flowers, but they also have huge heart and are very generous supporters of many charities. When it comes to fresh produce, shop at your local greengrocer rather than the supermarket. They'll appreciate your business!
Services you can rely on
T-bone Productions
www.t-bone.com.au
The most talented team of web designers on the planet. Well what else could I say - they created this brilliant website! Tony Hindle and his team are innovative and creative.....and fun to work with. I highly recommend them for any web based projects you have in mind. And with T-Bone, nothing is impossible. I like that.
Amalgamated Pest Control
www.amalpest.com.au
When a business has been around longer than the Sydney Harbour Bridge you realise they must be onto something.....and doing it right, more to the point! And still a proudly Australian family owned business too. Of course they do all the usual things that pest people do - like spraying for nasties and checking for termites. But they also do something very special. They back themeselves! Yep, with Amalgamated if the pests come back so do they!
Lifestyle
Waterbrook Lifestyle Resorts
www.waterbrook.com.au
What the hell? I'm not ready to put my feet up yet! But when I eventually do I know that I'll be looking for a classy 5 star place with everything that opens and shuts but still feels like home. Check out their website and you'll see what I mean- and especially if you're over 55 and contemplating downsizing the home but not your lifestyle!
Burraneer Bay Real Estate
www.burraneerbayrealestate.com.au
Couldn't leave my mate Stuart Payne off the page. What he doesn't know about real estate - and especially in the south of Sydney - is probably not worth knowing. And even if the Shire is not your part of town but you want a qualified real estate opinion on something, then Stuey and his team are the people to talk to.
Travel
APT
www.aptouring.com.au
Here's another great Aussie succes story. This family business has been in operation since 1927 and now there's a third generation of McGeary family running it. How good is that! Whether you want to explore the length and breadth of this great Austalian continent or maybe Europe, China, South America or Canada & Alaska - APT are the people to talk to. Experience speaks volumes when it comes to travel and over 80 years of experience is something to be proud of!
