LOOKING AT IT FROM GOOGLES VIEW Fifteen years ago, Street View began as a far-fetched idea from Google co-founder Larry Page to build a 360-degree map of the entire world. Fast forward to today and there are billions of Street View images from over 100 countries and territories, allowing people to fully experience what it’s like to be in these places right from their phone or computer.

"We just wanted to say how great our experience was with you guys at Kennards. Any time we had to come in to do something with you ladies it was such a fun experi- ence. Everything was so easy and I would recommend KSS Napier to anyone due to the service we got. I believe every interaction in a day you have with another human has an effect and you guys are the epitome of that. We always left with a big smile. Doesn’t always happen with business today so I wanted to make a point of saying you guys have got this sorted! 5 stars. Thank you. Many thanks, Laura." "What a helpful and terrific Team at Kennards self storage at Murarrie. Extremely helpful, polite, polished and always pleasant. I’ve had dealings with Kevin and Leonie, and can’t speak highly enough of their service. Thanks to you all, and also to the help desk/ phone line. Joanne and Greg." "Friendly efficient staff coupled with great service made storing my work related spare parts and tools a breeze. Well done to Medhat George, Alison, Mick and Jim and all the crew at Kennards Castle Hill. Thank you, Steve." "I have had numerous pleasant experiences with this particular Kennards. As a former removalist who has visited countless storage facilities in Melbourne in my time, Langridge St Abbotsford always stood out. Great inner city location with a great price, plus they have super friendly staff who make sometimes difficult life times far more manageable. Fantastic service. Cheers, Bart."
