This review is for Kalganyi Holiday Park, Mount Gambier SA

13 Oct 2013

We have just come back from a few nights away and thanks to the reviews here, we decided on giving these guys a try.

So glad we did! The grounds are lusciously green and shady - trees and grass everywhere!! Makes such a lovely scene at any time of the day!! Perfect for kids, there was a small but perfectly adequate playground for the kids (they loved the high slide and the bouncy seesaw with horses on it along with the obligatory swings) They have a lovely pool that is heated (but we weren't aware it was solar, so it was a tad cold for us as it was an overcast day) -pool was lovely and well maintained. Looked like a new addition to the park.

We stayed in a budget cabin room and found everything to be clean, but worn. The beds were comfy and the room was laid out well - everything was supplied that we might need - quite a surprise from some other places we have stayed in - cutlery, dishcloth, bin liner, wash cloth, etc. Even bowls for the microwave. And my one problem that I get when I stay in rented room - the cleanliness factor? Not a concern here - everything looked and was, very clean!

Now - there were a few things that were not great, but just niggly little things in our minds - firstly, our room was very musty smelling - nothing a good airing and a quick spray with the eucalyptus spray couldn't fix, but not great to open the door to. The carpet definitely needed replacing (large hole by the door) and there was a tv, but no reception available.

That said, we loved our stay there and will be returning at christmas to try out their deluxe cabins.

Communal areas like the Camp Kitchen and the bathrooms were great - clean and tidy (and I liked that there was several smaller bathrooms instead of one main one in the centre!) There was heaps of hot water, but the pressure is really dodgy and you have to keep attention as it can fluctuate, but again, clean and tidy and the whole time I was there, we didn't have to share it once!

Overall - loved it. It is not as flash as other holiday parks as it's a bit worn all over, but it is fairly well maintained and has a lovely welcoming feel that seems to be missing from other places we have stayed in.

Approximate cost: $150 for two night for 2 adults and 3 kids

This review is for clean up bins, Lonsdale SA

13 Oct 2013

We have ordered several bins through them over the years and have always been satisfied with the entire service. From the first phone call to the final pickup, the staff are extremely friendly all around.
The only point I would have to say is that we have to call them to come and pickup once we are done - otherwise, I recommend "the purple bins" to all my friends all the time.

They are simply the cheapest skip hire that services my area, while also being the nicest and friendliest - how can you beat that??

They will always get our business (and being a hoarder who occasionally empties her entire house in one go - that's fairly often, LOL)

Approximate cost: $They start at $120 for the smallest bins right up to an extremely cheap $360 for a whopping 9 cubic

This review is for Double Dragon Chinese Restaurant, Aberfoyle Park SA

31 May 2013

We love eating here - the food is generally of a high standard and the restaurant itself is always very clean and presentable (can't stand a dirty restaurant!) Staff are friendly and menu is varied.

One of the best things is that they are always lovely to the kids - with 3 youngsters, this isn't always the case when we dine out. So not only do we love going there, so do the kids - win/win!

Other reviewers have mentioned the high prices, but I disagree - on par with other similar places in our experience.

Overall, one of our regular eat-outs

This review is for Blissful Herbs, Warburton VIC

31 May 2013

I have been a customer of Julie's for many years and can not convey enough just how great these teas are. Even my kids love them. She has a range of teas and baths that you can order, or if you prefer, she can make up a mix just for you. Quick postage and friendly emails makes for a lovely service.

Very approachable and open to questions I asked for a tea that my kids could have as an everyday type of tea and voila! She creates a tea just for us!

Her Cold and Flu teas save our family all the time.

She also stocks spoons, bags and strainers all perfect for herbal teas as well as other items.

High recommend here.

This review is for Southern Stock Foods, Old Reynella SA

15 Apr 2013

As a family, we have a LOT of pets - and therefore have a LOT of pet needs. We have found Southern Stock Foods to be friendly and approachable. They seem to stock anything we need pet wise - from bulk pet food (rabbit, chook, cat, dog, bird, etc), bales of straw, insects and even snake food! In one trip, we can grab all the bulk stuff we need and their prices are spot on! We really struggled finding "farm animal needs" close to home before we discovered Southern Stock Foods

They are also always up for a chat which is really nice in today's rush-rush attitude.

Add in the drive through service (literally! you drive through the shed!) and I can avoid the inevitable chasing-after-toddler-while-holding-baby scenario and I also get the heavy bulk bags and bales plonked straight in the boot!

Finished with a view of chooks and birds and the kids are happy as well.

Love shopping there, SO glad we found it!!

High recommend!

This review is for Baby Bunting, Melrose Park SA

28 Mar 2013

We have been customers of Baby Bunting for years - three car seats and all the accessories that go with kids and cars and safe driving. We also use them for our new baby purchases - Hugabub, wraps and the like.

I love coming here for our kid shopping- especially for car safety. We love that there are experts onsite to advise and ask questions (to compliment my own research) and even assist when needed.

They also have a Rewards Program, which when on a strict budget, is a godsend!

High recommend from us!

Approximate cost: $Covers all sorts of budgets and wallets

This review is for Sakura Sushi Goodwood, Cumberland Park SA

28 Mar 2013

We stopped in to grab a quick bite after being out all day and was sadly disappointed.

Service was awful- Server ignored us until Husband said something, then was rude and disinterested in assisting us. When handed WOMO review card, rolled her eyes, shrugged and threw card away.

Food was ok - not great, but passable. Basically a little less then what we expected for the location. Very heavy on the Avocado, but wether or not that is a bad thing is a personal taste - lol. Loosely rolled and a bit bland as well.

Overall - Not fabulous, but certainly not the worst. Definately worth trying again another time.

Approximate cost: $40 including drinks

This review is for Red Rooster, Murray Bridge SA

28 Mar 2013

"Best Red Rooster ever" is how my husband described our visit. We had just been visiting family at the Bridge and the kids were grizzling and we knew we had a long trip back to Adelaide so we decied to grab a quick bite.

The Cashier/Server was incredibly friendly and professional, the food was fresh and hot and the kids were satisfied - all points that are important to us.

The Cashier was happy to answer our quick questions about the menu, interacted with the kids (it's amazing what a smile and a wave will achieve) which made them beam.

Unlike other places, the chicken was hot and moist, but not soggy or greasy, the chips were just perfect (and for once, someone knew exactly just how much salt to put on! YAY)

We will definately be visiting them again, next time we are at the Bridge.

Approximate cost: $All up for 4 people - $40 including drinks

This review is for Reptile City, Christies Beach SA

31 Dec 2012

We have been regular customers of Mike and Jason for about 9yrs. We bought our first snake and 5 lizards from them and haven't looked back.

Always great for info and support. I recommend all new reptile owners to them. Excellent and knowledgeable as they breed their own stock.

They are always happy to chat and we have used them on the few occassions we have had any issues.

Thinking about becoming a Reptile Owner? Go see these guys first and do your research starting with them.
