This is a naturist (nudist) it can be quite busy around new year they often have a spit roast for new year. Other times it can be quiet and quite peaceful. if you are looking for a quiet relaxed holiday in a bushland setting were you dont have to worry about what to wear this may be for you.

Great facility's and great happy hours (even if you don't drink)

It is not a swingers venue so if this is what you want you would be better to go elsewhere.

Neat tidy food wholesaler good variety of materials for the home baker good for other bulk foods as well.

there are al lot of repackaged items that would normally only be available in bulk that are packaged in smaller amounts

I have met people here twice and both times it has been a unremarkable experience. I have had some chips both times and they have been horrible bland, cold and soggy.

Certainly this gives me no confidence in the kitchen staff to try a more complicated meal.

The bar staff seemed well groomed and pleasant.

the bar seemed popular with the sub 30 age group that made me wonder if I am getting old.

I visited at lunch time and have no idea what it would be like in the evenings.

I visited this shop on the 24/8/2012 at about 9:45 and purchased coffee it was that poor it was undrinkable (My wife seemed happy with hers). it is a new shop (as all of Pasadena Green is) and behind the counter seemed very clean and tidy.

The front of the shop has a large partition in it and obviously the staff cant see various parts of the shop.

There were uncleared tables in this part of the shop that the staff walked past at least once.

there was also crumbs from a flaky pastry product on the floor that the staff did not notice or did not think was worth sweeping up.

looking at the product they appeared well made by competent and contentious bakers.

this business is a basic warehouse with no frills. I have purchased accessories (mice & SD cards ) here for a fraction of the price of many shops if you know what you want and are happy to go to a basic shop it is worth investigating.

If you want fancy fixtures and helpful sales people you may be better to pay more and go elsewhere.

I visited the shop expecting to find baked goods but the shop had less than 10 items in it.

there were no buns or sweet items other than macadamia nut bars that were out of my price range.

on enquiring the woman said they mainly do fund-raising

I have purchased their products to support my sons school in the past and when I got the products they were inedible.

In all fairness the may be because of the way school treated the products.

This review is for Crossant D'or Bakery, Lonsdale SA

This is a wholesale bakery that specialises in croissants and other French style products that sells to the public.

The croissants I had from here are some of the nicest I have had I arrived at 5:45 am they were clearly very fresh.

the shop is open 5:00am to 11:00am

Approximate cost: $0.50

very good food at a basic price.

The dining area is basic the food was very good and with generous serves.

if you are looking for 5 star dining you would want to go somewhere else.

probably not ideal fro a romantic first date ether.

but for family's and others looking for good value in basic surroundings it is excellent

Approximate cost: $14.00

This review is for Dan Murphy's, Pasadena SA

cheap prices but difficult access there is less than 5 car-parks within 50 meters of the shop and these serve other businesses as well if you want a trolley you have to pay and return the trolley for a refund.

It is well laid out similar to other Dan Murphy stores.

However First Choice at Unley has a lot better parking.
