Would give 0 stars if I could. We’ve been dealing with ongoing mould issues for months, and the lack of communication has been beyond frustrating. Emails have gone unanswered, promised call-backs never happened, and we’ve constantly had to chase for updates ourselves. Even now, we still can’t get a clear timeframe as to when the repairs will actually be completed. In the meantime, we’re expected to continue living in a property with huge holes in our ceilings and ongoing mould concerns, with no answers as to when this will be resolved. No tenant should be left living in these conditions or expected to just wait indefinitely. The entire process has been stressful, exhausting and handled incredibly poorly. I genuinely hope no one else has the same experience we have had.
The Family Fun Day was a great experience, lots of activities to keep the kids entertained. The jumping castles were thoroughly enjoyed by all till the end of day. Good variety of food outlets. Multiple prizes to be won from many supporting businesses.
Fun Day at BB Stadium, Children Hospital Foundation. The day lovely day sponsored by the Gardian, the ladies were willing to help us with setting up our stall. Thank you for making it a fantastic day for the children & everyone looked like they were all enjoying themselves .
Gardian helped us buy our first home and made the process so smooth and easy. Highly recommend them. I just recently went to the Mackay Hospital Foundation Day and won a prize from entering their competition. The event was great for the kids and such an awesome initiative for giving back to the community. Thanks Gardian!
We recently went to Gardian's family fun day at the BB Print Stadium. This is our 3rd year attending this event. 💙 It's great to see so many families enjoy the day out. The kids always have a great time, and it's all for a great cause. We hope that gardian continues this awesome event in the future!
Heaps of fun for the kids and the adults who haven't lost the kid inside themselves. Games, face painting, free rides to bring up all the food you stuffed down.😜 And a great chance to win some cool prizes 20$ got me six tickets that won me and my small family a Nintendo switch.
Cheers to 25 years! Have had a great experience buying through Gardian - hats off to the team for a seamless transition to owning the property. I've signed up with Gardian for tenancy & looking forward to the same with Gardian's tenancy management too :)
