Waratah Kitchens were fantastic from the moment we first got in touch right through to the completion of our new kitchen and laundry. They were responsive, professional, and friendly, and offered a range of options to suit our budget. Our designer, Kylee, was amazing — full of ideas and made us feel at ease every step of the way. She went above… Read more
and beyond, using her experience and ideas to come up with the best design for our space. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and she made sure we were involved throughout the whole process. We couldn’t recommend Waratah Kitchens or Kylee more highly!

Waratah Kitchens upgrade experience has been very good, with customer service. We found everyone in Waratah Kitchens very approachable, accommodating, flexible, understanding and providing update as per our wishes. Darren our Project manager and all the trades people like Oleg, Peter, Owen and Pina from the office were all very professional,… Read more
co-operative highly skilled in bringing out the best outcome for us. We changed the benchtop to a stone one, a glass splash back, added some new appliances, lightings and converted existing shelves into pull out draws and changed all the hinges to soft close. we also added other additional little changes to make the kitchen practical & looking good. We are fully satisfied with Waratah Kitchens. They dealt with many changes. We would recommend to anyone wanting to update their kitchen. I am sure Waratah Kitchens would do an excellent job.

Initially looking to resurface existing benchtop to brighten up the kitchen, received initial measure/quote from Cooper then visited showroom to see larger samples of choices available, advised sometimes only a bit more to have full benchtop replaced but the the quote was actually cheaper so we went with this option. Great communication with the… Read more
girls in the office Angie, Pina and Teja from start to finish. Liam removed the old benchtop and Dmitriy project managed to ensure the job went smoothly. Love the look and feel of the updated kitchen which now feels light and bright. Thank you to all involved.
Wonderful company. Accuracy in measuring up for my kitchen upgrade, tradies are professional, careful and thorough. Phone contacts most helpful and pleasant. Work done on time. Photo shows the appliance cupboard which was tricky to fit with the new benchtop. Result was perfect. I can't recommend this company enough. Show reply
Fast, flexible and fantastic result – We are extremely pleased with our Waratah Kitchens renovation. From start to finish they were professional and responsive. Jeff provided many helpful suggestions and solutions in the planning stages and Phil and his team were efficient and unobtrusive during the installation phase. The whole installation process from disposal of the old kitchen -… Read more · 1
including removal of a nib wall and lowering a half wall - to having a functioning kitchen took just five days!
Main Bathroom & Ensuite Renovations – We’ve just had our bathrooms (1 main & 1 ensuite) fully renovated by Waratah Kitchens. They were our first choice as we had remodelled our kitchen using them a few years ago & we were totally delighted with the result. We had found Waratah to be a very professional company. This time our bathrooms’ renovation was a much bigger job. It was… Read more · 1
overseen by Henny & his amazing team. We chose our tiles, fittings and cabinetry. Waratah handled all the ordering and delivery to our home. A Schedule of Works was worked out and overseen by Henny - to allow us to stay on site during the work we had each bathroom renovated separately.
Henny was very open to discussing any of our ideas for our bathrooms.
As we live in an apartment with full brick walls, demolition was a major part of the process. This was carried out very efficiently - messy, of course, but obviously very necessary.
Bathrooms need a lot of different trades - demolition, plumbing, electrics, waterproofing, tiling and shower screen installation. Henny arranged to have his team working seamlessly. Every trade was on site, on time, when needed.
Again the result was wonderful. We totally recommend Waratah Kitchens for both kitchens and bathrooms.

Very Dissappointed – I engaged waratah for my kitchen. After the complimentary design, I paid the required deposit and more. The design was integrated with the removal of existing walls. After the check measure, I sent a few emails and received rather muted responses, including my request with at least 2 weeks notice to delay a proposed installation date due to the… Read more
complications in walls removal. At this stage, no kitchen finishes or cabinet colors were selected or any adjustments to the complimentary design carried out.
I advised Waratah to delay the installation but got no reply, but I was asked to pay a large 2nd deposit that included an additional 5k for a stone splash back, excluded the waterfall I wanted, and still included their kitchen demolition cost they knew my builder would carry out. note final design details, dimensions and materials were not even finalized despite payment terms staying this would be so .
During demolition, it became clear more walls could be removed, and the builder recommended a alternative kitchen installer whom has since prepared 3 alternative designs, carried out several check measure and invested considerable time without requiring any deposit. He seemed more interested in the work and my emails and text messages and all were answered promptly.
His design had many merits such that my friends told me to use the builders kitchen design. It was difficult to not give this guy the job, despite my position with Waratah.
I informed Waratah I would like to procced with the alternative kitchen installer and would pay for their time and let them consider what was reasonable costs. Waratah offered reimbursement 50% of what I paid (not 50% of the required deposit) so I immediately lost money as I foolishly paid more.
They also justified their costs of 2.25k with the check measure time (no more than 3 hours), a few emails and phone calls, and time for me to visit their showroom. OMG. All my friends and previous waratah referrals were shocked I was charged to visit their showroom.
But at least a part deposit was returned and the staff in the showroom are friendly and helpful hence 1 star. It’s just seems too greedy. The alternative kitchen quote was very competitive, the alternative kitchen installers design was innovative and with care and time to explain all my concerns without need for a deposit and without certainty that had the job.
I had high expectations of Waratah based on friends and independent reviews but was very disappointed with my experience. I would not recommend Waratah.
A fabulous outcome! – From our very first consultation with Jeff in which he was so through and in understanding our requirements and then painstakingly taking us through options, we decided that Waratah Kitchens was going to the top of our list if the pricing was reasonably in the ball park of the others, which it turned out to be. There was no hard sell to suit… Read more
standard packages and everything was customisable and flexible. What impressed me most was the attention to detail in the planning with multiple visits and clarifying phone calls just to make sure they got everything perfect. The execution went exactly to plan with great tradies supporting the installation and they were in and out within five days. The cupboards are perfectly level and gaps are exactly uniform and a perfect fit in every way which was a huge priority for me. Tiny adjustments were made as required extremely promptly even after full payment was made. We are absolutely delighted. with our new kitchen. Thanks Jeff and team!
Waratah Kitchens – Simply Outstanding! – There are not enough superlatives to describe our total satisfaction with Jeff and his team at Waratah Kitchens. They are without doubt the most knowledgeable and ultimate professionals in their field as well as some of the genuinely nicest people you will ever come across. We knew from our first meeting with Jeff that we were in good hands. His… Read more
patience and ability to truly listen to his customers and their requirements was evident from the start. In our case, Jeff noted our every need, made sense of them, suggested options to improve and then designed and delivered a kitchen that far exceeded our every expectation. He and his team even assisted in helping us choose the type and shading of the porcelain tiles that had to be laid prior to the kitchen installation. This was necessary as the tiles needed to blend in with the stone. The actual kitchen was ready as per our agreed timeframe and installation was carried out by Ben and Jacob, two very friendly and super skilled craftsmen with unsurpassed attention to detail. Jeff, Darren and Luke also made a number of site visits to ensure everything was going to plan. There were absolutely no issues throughout the entire process. In summary, we are now the proud owners of a wonderful kitchen, one that continues to receive great feedback from our friends and family. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Jeff and Waratah Kitchens. Top job Jeff and thank you!

I have now had two projects completed by Waratah in quick succession. A small kitchen renovated in a Unit I purchased and the bar area in my own home.

One star is generous. The workmanship was poor. Bench tops not cut to the correct dimensions. Old splash back glue not sufficiently removed to accomadate new tiles.

Would happily use them again – Waratah Kitchens were exceptional. They were easy to work with through the entire process for our laundry renovation.

Lovely local business which delivers great results! – I'm really pleased with my new kitchen benchtop.

Engineered Stone Kitchen Benchtops – I had a kitchen that was built 33 years ago and needed a makeover but I did not want to replace the whole kitchen, just the benchtops.

Oleg came and did the job to my complete satisfaction over… Read more

Wonderful Kitchen Reno – We needed a kitchen reno and by word of mouth it was suggested we visit Waratah showroom. Angie was very helpful in showing us product availability.

In fact ALL trade and office persons were highly professional, worked together well. Excellent Job highly recommended
First Class Professional Result – We moved into a house that had been expensively renovated but not the kitchen, Layout was pretty fixed so Waratah renewed the bench tops and splash backs in both kitchen and associated laundry so they matched. They were small spaces but with lots of components so it was a pretty tough job and took several days. The guys worked really hard and… Read more

Kitchen doors replaced – Waratah Kitchens replaced my 23 year old vynal wrapped kitchen doors which were starting to lift.

They are a very professional company and I would highly recommend them for anyone wanting a renovation.
Beautiful new kitchen – We were a little apprehensive about starting this project but Waratah Kitchens was a dream to work with.
