This review is for The Old Mill Bookshop, Tanunda SA

verified email - 08 May 2013

Went into this bookshop for a quick look around and was amazed by the amount of books on offer. There are a huge amount of collector books here as well as everyday novels, magazines etc. prices are a bit expensive on some items. The only problem I had here was with the owner himself. He was very suspicious of me from the minute I walked in, which I do not like. He was watching everywhere I went. I do not like been treated like I am about to steal something. He was also rude when I spoke to him about a price of some magazines. He also closed down half the book shop and refused entry to it when the shop was full of people. Very odd for a man that wants to sell books, in a book store. He was also very suspicious of the $50 note we gave him and almost ripped it in half in front of us. Very odd behavior. Other than that, it is a great bookstore, well worth a visit.

Overall not a bad park. It is small with only a couple of cabins and camping space, but neat and tidy. Good amenitities. Laundry to catch up on the washing. Only $16 for 2 for unpowered site. One disadvantage is that it is near a main road and there is a fair bit of traffic noise.

Approximate cost: $16

To the point, don't bother. This can only be described as bad. First of all, they have just built a new skate park for kids inside the caravan park. The caravan park itself is the carpark for the bowling club, not a blade of grass to be seen. There is only room for approx 10 vehicles and there are already perminant vans on site. It appears that no effort has been put into this park at all. I will certainly not be staying there again. Like I said earlier, don't bother, drive another 50km up the road for a better park.

Spent one night here and was pleasantly surprised. It was very peaceful and quiet. The owners were very pleasant and the price for a night on a powered site was only $15. Cheap these days. The park is very neat and tidy, green grassy sites and clean modern amenities. Overall a very nice night.

I have been here a few times now. Menu is not huge but good healthy meals are available. Coffee is always good and some yummy desserts. Service can be a bit slow at times. This is one of the better cafes in cooma.

I love this place. I drive 2 hour round trip to go there to get my hair done. The owner Amanda is also the hairdresser. She has been in business at this location for 30 years. She is very friendly and does a wonderful job. It is like a day out when I decide to get my hair done. Hair looks and feel great every time. Always fits me in when it suits me even though she is always busy.

This review is for Apple Retail Store, Chermside QLD

Went into this store unsure if I should buy an apple iPad. I already had a apple desktop computer and was impressed with that. I spoke to one of the salesmen who was great. He showed me all I wanted to see and was very friendly an attentive. I told him what I actually wanted to pay for a new iPad and what the best price I had seen in another shop was and he agreed with the price straight away and then took a further $50 off the price. I bought the iPad and was very happy. Two days later I returned to the store with my iPad as I was having problems with the set up of it( not the iPad itself, which is still wonderful 2 years later) and the salesman who sold it to me recognized me straight away and come over to help me. What a wonderful man. Great store, great service.

This is a great place to have lunch. Great menu. Tapas menu as well as other tasty items. Very well priced and very tasty. Located just over snowy river from Dalgety, handy if staying at snowy river caravan park. Great relaxing garden area with ducks and geese running around the gardens. Very friendly staff. So good we have been back many times.

This review is for Captain Cook Hotel, Paddington NSW

I love this place, has a nice atmosphere, cheap good food.  The meals are inexpensive and for the price are definitely worth it, not too much variety on the menu though. Could do with a few more items, cold beer and just across the road from Sydney football stadium. Very convienient to celebrate your teams win, or loss.
Also have cheap accomodation upstairs in case you have had one too many drinks down stairs.

Approximate cost: $10
