Great store. Very friendly and helpful staff and a massive range of......EVERYTHING!!! Went in to see if they could match a price I got from radio rentals, and they beat it by $20! Took a moment to get served, but only because it's such a big store, and they were pretty flat out.

Pretty disappointed with my last couple of visits. They do have a great range of everything, guitars, basses, print music and accessories, but if they think you're not a professional musician prepared to spend upwards of $3k on a guitar, don't expect anyone to be too helpful. Alot of their stock is WAY overpriced aswell, I went in to quote a price for a Zoom G2 pedal, $229 @ Allans, went to another store, $179.

This place is definitely one of the best butchers I've been to. The quality of the meats are amazing. Everything from massive schnitzels, Thick as T-bones, rib eyes, to the roast cuts. You'll start drooling as soon as you walk in! Friendly service too. Has that 'country' vibe to it. A tiny bit more pricey than a supermarket butcher, but when you see the quality, you'll think it's a bargain!

I rarely give bad reviews, (check my reviews and see) but this place really takes the cake.
I took my partner here for our 5 year anniversary for something different, and it was memorable for all the WRONG reasons.

First impressions upon entering the restaurant was actually pretty good. Clean and neat. The menu seemed to have a decent range of dishes although very, very pricey. When we received our meals, I was disappointed to say the least. My partner ordered the Lamb Skewer for $25, and she was bought out a single skewer about 15cms long. Just like the ones you get in the supermarket, but you get 6 in a pack for $7..... After we went to pay for our 'meals', we were asked if we were happy with our meals. When we politely informed the owner of our disappointment, we were rudely laughed at by the owner, who then made sarcastic comments to the chef, who also laughed at us, and then muttered something under his breath. When we then complained about the service we were receiving, we were promptly told to 'eat elsewhere next time'.

Approximate cost: $25

This review is for Hotel Rottnest, Rottnest Island WA

One of the BEST Hotels I've ever set foot in. The outdoor area is amazing!! You pretty much sit 5 meters from the beach. Plenty of shade, live music, great atmosphere, and awesome scenery. Blue water, white sand, and big expensive boats! The food was really good, but expect a reasonable wait if they're flat out.
You won't find a better looking Beer Garden either.

Approximate cost: $22

Stayed here a couple of months ago, and was reasonably pleased all round with the experience. The location is perfect, just up the road from Hay St and Murray St Malls, and a free bus stop right out the front of the Hotel itself. Not even a 10 minute walk to the Swan river.

Front desk service was polite, professional and quick. Room service was great quality food (bit pricey though) and fast.
We rang the front desk and requested extra pillows, and they were there in 5 minutes.
Rooms were cleaned daily also.

In house restaurant was really expensive and limited, but with our weekly package we got free buffet breakfast every morn, which was pretty good.

Approximate cost: $135-$169

This review is for Atlantic DVD, Blair Athol SA

These guys have a really great range of DVD's for hire, but they have a MASSIVE range of dvd's for sale!! You could easily spend a good few hours just browsing. They stock everything from box sets, TV series, New Releases, Old classics..etc. Some DVD's start from from $9.95. The only let down is when you walk in the store. It looks pretty bad. The carpet is all torn and stained, and just feels dirty. It's a real shame, if it wasn't for the appearance, I would say it's one of the best DVD stores I've come across.

This review is for Belgian Beer Cafe Oostende, Adelaide SA

LOVE this place. So much character and German culture packed into it! They have an absolutely amazing amount of beers, bottled and on Tap. Some brews can get a little pricey, but they're not the type of Beers you drink everyday.

A great way to earn a little bit of cash in your spare time. You get 5 points, (which roughly equals 5 cents) just for opening an email! 5-10 min surveys can pay anything from $1.00-$5. I've tried ALL the other survey sites, and the one is by far the best

Approximate cost: $100% Free

Bought a used car from here about 3 months ago. Was pretty happy with the experience overall. Salesmen wasn't 'pushy' at all. Let me take the car for a test drive, gave me a run down about the attributes and features of the car. The finance dept was the most helpful and genuine bloke I've met in a while.
