The ladies at the Lobethal Bakery in Woodside are always here to help. Evening during busy periods the tables are always kept clean and tidy. The food is devine, my favourites are the ham rolls, pepper pies and their cake range.

If you are in the area definitely stop in and treat yourself to fabulous breakfast, lunch or just because your hungry.

I was recently married (Feb 2013) and chose Big Day Creative to do our photos. I liked Sonya on sight, she a beautiful person and so very helpful with everything leading up to the wedding. On the day she was very professional and had great ideas for the photos.

We picked up our photos 6 weeks after the wedding. All printed in an album and on disc in high res for printing and low res or online. I couldn't have been happier with the photos. I don't usually love seeing myself in photos but I absolutely loved these.

I would absolutely recommend Big Day Creative to everybody

This is a new little gourmet/specialty food shop that has opened in Mt Barker. They have local and imported foods. They have such a big selection that I can't think of everything, so far I have purchased;

- fresh & local made gelato (yum)
- pancetta slices
- barossa olive oil
- free range eggs (Kangaroo Island)
- seafood
- freshly made pasta packs

I have been attending this gym for several months now. The staff and other members are extremely friendly.

Each month you get a free PT session as part of your membership. Your PT will go over what you have been doing and see how they help you achieve the goals you have.

It may be a circuit gym but that isn't all they do. There are boot camp classes, previously they did Zumba classes and boxing classes. Soon they will be having Yoga.

Its a great gym to make all women feel comfortable no matter the age or size

Approximate cost: $70

I have been going to Nova for about 8 months now for my hair cuts and bikini waxes. I have so far never had a bad experience. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. If you aren't quite sure what you want they won't try and talk you into something hugely expensive they will sit down and make sure you say what you want and then they deliver.

The lady who does the waxing is friendly and so very good at her job that there is on the minimal of pain.

While getting your hair washed you also get a fabulous head massage. I would almost go there just for that!

A xxx bikini wax costs me $40 and for my hair I get it washed, blow dried and cut for $66

Approximate cost: $66

The clothes at Suzanne Grae are great. They have a large selection of clothing for all ages, starting for people in the their 20's and depending on how fashionable you are all the way to you 40's
What I love about this place is the service. No walking around the store holding all these items, the staff are always helping you putting things in a room for you, helping with sizes when your in the change room, and giving serious advice on what looks good.
I'm a huge repeat buyer

The food at this bakery is wonderful. They have a wonderful range of hot food, family pies and quiches, yummy dessert pastries or you can have a salad or roll.
The food, no matter what I've tried, is great. large servings, so I know that I cam getting my moneys worth.
The staff can sometimes be a little slow, but the food makes up for it.

Approximate cost: $3.00

The food and service are always great at this place. One of the great things for my group of friends is that while there menu is Asian foods, they also have a few Aussie items on the menu for those who would rather their chicken snitzel.
I have never had a problem with this restaurant.

Approximate cost: $10.00

Hands down the best gym/health club that I have been to. There are no joining fees, no mirrors and no 12 month membership. You pay month by month, which is great. You receive heaps of personal attention from the fitness coach (Nathan) and all of the other people at the gym are also extremely friendly.
I have tried many gyms over the past years, I believe that this is the first one where I have felt like its actually doing something for my body.
I highly recommend this health club to all.

Approximate cost: $125.00

Viva is a little coffee shop that I work near. They make some of the yummiest drinks and serve some really great food. Especially the chips. They come in this cone with all different sauce flavours that you can choose from.
My problem with them however is the service. The girl who 95% of the time is at the register, I don't know her name she doesn't always wear a badge. My problem with her is that she always seems to screw the order up, charge your wrong or just take forever.
Example 1. I purchased a hot choc and chips. I said I would be sitting in the store but could I please have my drink in a take away cup. It took me a few minutes but I thought that I had got my point across. My food arrives and then my drink arrives, in a glass. I was annoyed but didn't say anything. 5 minutes later another drink arrives in a take away cup
Example 2. I ordered 2 hot beverages. I had the exact money but mainly in silver change. I counted the money out while I handed it to her. She then counted the money but ended up with with less. She then proceeded to count it twice more before she got it write.
While I love the place and their food, I am always less than impressed with the staff.
