Can't believe this place is still going. It's not your fancy park on the Gold Coast but it is a great day out for the family. Not too badly priced and enough to do to make for an enjoyable day. One to check out on a nice hot day and the kids will love it.

These guys know what they are doing when it comes to crash repairs. I don't find their service as good as other places I have been to that do equally as good work so I am more inclined to take my cars elsewhere for work that is not urgent. I did use them once when we were rear ended by someone on the highway and wanted the damaged repaired as soon as possible. They fit us in when they could, although they were extremely busy and it was not until a day later we could get the car in and then it took sometime to get it back. The job was very well done though and I believe they have been in business for quite awhile and seem to have a great local reputation.

I was treated to an experience at this wonderful place on my birthday. What more could I ask for, a business dedicated to just desserts. I tried a couple of things and am planning to go back to try some more! What a wonderful idea for after a meal or just to go out for a nip of coffee and some gorgeous dessert, oh and of course some company and the great atmosphere! The service is friendly and the place is not too crowded even when it is busy. I just wish it was closer so I could make it a regular weekly thing.

The service department here is absolutely fantastic! Extremely professional yet very friendly and helpful. Expect to pay a little more for your service but the quality and assurance you get by going here is well worth it. They also service fleet vehicles and of course brand new vehicles, but they were very happy to have my business. I can't find fault with a single member of the staff I dealt with or the job that the mechanics did.

A very nice and quiet place to stay. The rooms were spacious and clean and I would recommend getting a room with a view of the river. If we have to spend the night in Mannum we always stay here and have never been disappointed with the service or the food. There are also some packages available where you can get breakfast or dinner included with your room and I love their breakfasts. Convenient location if you want to leave your room and look around but I am just content to sit back and look at our magnificent river.

I have my own local grain and fodder store I like to frequent so it has never occurred to me to go elsewhere. However I went in with my sister and couldn't help stocking up on several things I needed that were at irresistibly low prices! The customer service was great and I was treated as if I was a regular despite it being my first time in the store.

I was such a regular here when I lived in Adelaide in my younger years. Went back recently and was not disappointed. Vili's still make the best pies and the food was fresh. It doesn't matter what time of the day(or night) you go, there is always a consistency with both food and service. One of the best business ideas I have heard of and so easy to get quick hot food any time. It beats fast food joints every time.

My mother has eaten here a few times when we have visited the shopping centre and what she orders looks fine and like good value for money. I decided to forgo my usual and try some of their food. I found it a little lacking in flavour but it was not distasteful and I did finish my meal. My mother enjoyed hers as usual but I like my food a little more refined and flavoursome. Will be returning to my usual lunch pick.

Bing Boy is fantastic. Somehow all the flavours and textures together just work. If you are shopping in town stop in there and try one and rest assured that they taste excellent. I have already recommended to my friends so best I put it on here too so everyone can try Bing Boy. If you go at peak lunchtime prepare to wait in line, but not for too long. I prefer to take my time and wait until it is not so busy before deciding what I want and I am aiming to try them all.

Also one of our favourite places to eat when we go to the Riverland. I have only ever ordered pizza from here, it is sooo good why would we bother to buy anything else! There is a good variety for those people out there who don't like pizza(do they exist?). The service is quite good considering how busy it can get sometimes and I have always had friendly and efficient service here. One to try when going through Loxton.
