Today, I’m doing something a little different.
Instead of talking about plumbing, I want to take a moment to highlight some great local businesses in Rockhampton that truly deserve recognition.
Local businesses are the life-blood of Rockhampton. Everyday, you interact with businesses. Whether it’s getting a haircut or grabbing a coffee, they are everywhere. Here are five local standouts worth supporting:
1. Metrovision Classic
Located at 376 Berserker St in Frenchville, Metrovision Classic is a top-notch hairdressing salon with a stellar 4.8-star rating on Google Reviews. With over 15 years of experience, they’ve helped Rockhampton look its best with the latest techniques.
They don’t just do women’s hair, but also men and children. Whether you’re after a trim or something more complex like highlights, they’ve got you covered.
What really stands out to me is their commitment to natural ingredients. Today, it can feel like we are being bombarded with chemicals. So it’s pretty refreshing to see a business that cares about what goes on your body.
2. Lakes Creek Florist
Flowers mark life’s most important moments. Whenever there is a funeral or a wedding, there’s always a beautiful bouquet. Lakes Creek Florist has been helping people express those emotions since 1995. Located in North Rockhampton, they hold a perfect 5-star rating on ThreeBestRated, with over 100 glowing reviews.
Lakes Creek Florist offer a wide selection of flowers like roses and carnations for so many occasion. They even do floral arrangements for St Joseph’s Cathedral.
Flowers might not be an everyday purchase, but when the time comes, it’s great to know there’s a trusted local supplier.
3. The Green Eat
On a warm day, there’s very few things that go better than a cold fruit juice. And the Green Eat does exactly that. Located at 49 Archer Street, they’ve earned a well-deserved 4.8-star rating with over 100 reviews.
Known for their friendly customer service, they make the experience all the more enjoyable. But their menu is more than juices. Think açai bowls, fresh coffee, breakfasts, and desserts. This is the type of place which seems worthwhile to try out before work.
4. Yearn to Learn
While this next business doesn’t satisfy your hunger, it feeds something even more important. Your mind.
Yearn to Learn provides tutoring for students from kindergarten to high school in subjects like maths, science, and writing. Even students with learning difficulties can find the support they need here.
They run 75-minute group sessions (with 1 to 3 students) and have a strong 4.8-star rating from 114 reviews. You can find them at Shop 4–6, 164 Berserker Street in North Rockhampton.
5. Dunlop Catering
We’d all love a personal chef, but for most of us, that’s not realistic. Still, for special events like weddings, catering lets you bring that dream to life… even if just for a day.
Dunlop Catering, based on Beak Street in Rockhampton, provides tailored menus to suit any occasion. They cater for a variety of people with affordable options to more premium experiences. They offer everything from grazing tables and hot foods to BBQs, roasts, and summer buffets.
They’ve earned an impressive 4.9 stars on ThreeBestRated, with 117 reviews to back it up.
