This farmers market is a godsend. Fresh fruit and vegetables at reasonable prices. WELL under the greedy large companies. Friendly family owned and run. Alf is amazing. HUGE range includes pasta, drinks, milk/cheese and bread. As well as the fruit and veges!
So good that Southland feels threatened..

Whilst Ikea have great products at fabulous prices - this does not make up for the overall experience that the Richmond site entails. WHAT A PALAVA! To park, to shop, to get out, to get to the loading bay, to get goods...it's all just too hard. Let alone with babies - twins. I dread the thought of attempting an Ikea shop again. Need to be able to purchase on line...

I couldn't be more happy with the experience at Sportreplay. Gerard, the owner, offered tips and advice as I am a sports goods novice!. The store offers many different sporting goods that are sourced by Gerard, himself and onsold at reduced prices. He eagerly phoned major stores to confirm his pricing on an excercise bike that was half price. His service is friendly and knowledgable. I shall be going back time and again for my twin's bikes/balls/tops/bats etc!

Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Pharmacists are knowledgeable and empathetic. Cheapest baby formula around and wipes!
Also host a New Mum information evening almost every month. FANTASTIC, complete with take home sample bags!!
Large store, open, bright - fits double strollers easily.

I cannot speak highly enough of the Baby Gallery. We have twins and chose to purchase ALL of our set up nursery furniture there. Since then we have gone back everytime we needed the next stage or gifts. The staff have always been available, friendly and knowledgeable. After just one visit they knew my name, my husbands and the twins. And I hadn't met the owner before!! As I had been in hospital. The prices are excellent and I recommend them ALL the time.
Store is bright, aisles are wide-no double pram issues and they have ALWAYS returned my calls or queries.

Approximate cost: $5000
