I've had experience with IMP Printed Circuit http://www.imppc.com.au/

They are good. Expect to pay a lot for small volumes as the setup cost will kill it. 
Just guessing because I haven't done single sided for a while, say AU$150 setup 
cost for single sided, per board maybe AU$1 ~ 5. Typically 5 or 10 working days 
delivery, faster = dearer.

Will you be designing the board yourself in a PCB CAD program? Files typically 
accepted by board houses are Gerber format, and Excellon NC drill files. Ask them 
for help if you need it. 

For a cheaper service but out of China try http://www.pcbcart.com. Good prices for 
small runs, perhaps lower a bit lower quality, lower setup charge.
