Every time that I fly Virgin I am reminded to why I continue to fly with them. The staff are always friendly and polite, yet know how to have fun. Something that is missing from other airlines.
The planes are new, clean and the seats are very comfortable.

A great place to spend a lazy sunday morning or afternoon. It has a nice area for small children, and many lovely outdoors settings where you can soak up the sunshine. :)
We love to go and have a nice breakfast. My favourite is the pancake stack with yummy berries. The freshly squeezed juices are also very nice.

Approximate cost: $20

My favourite item at Becks Bakery is their freshly made bread. The Ciabatta and foccacia bread is very nice. Its a great spot to enjoy a coffee with friends.

The Barn is one of our favourite places to go to celebrate an important occasion. Ben and his staff provide fantastic service topped off by delicious food. The tapas are really good in particular Thai Beef Cluster. It is worth starving yourself throughout the day to make sure you can try a bit of everything. If you love wine, its lots of fun going into the wine cellar and selecting a nice bottle to share. Overall a great place highly recommended.

This review is for Target Online, Melbourne VIC

I found this service to be similar to others (Big W) not really a big WOW. The range is only limited at this stage much like other retailers, and it states will be expanded in due time. It is evident that these larger big box general retailers need to have an online presence to compete in the online marketplace. The website was very easy to navigate and was very well designed. The reason that I needed to use this service was purely due to the fact that I visited my local Target store and received zero customer service, the only way I could get my hands on this baby product item was to order it online.

The reason for my 2 star rating for service is because of the lack of service from the stores, hence the justification for the online store. Secondly due to the lack of clear correspondence from the online customer service team in regards to order received, delivery confirmation etc. Once you place an order there was no automatic email to state, they had received the order. It stated that you would receive an email with this information within 48 hours, I had to manually request this. Secondly they provided me with the consignment note in which the parcel would be delivered, only to find the consignment note to be invalid. I later found out that this was due to how Australia Post. The parcel was ordered on the Tuesday and I got on the next Monday. It was in stock and available, not sure why it takes over 3 days to travel from Melbourne to Adelaide. I can order items from overseas and it arrives quicker.
Online stores such as Target need to work on their customer service and delivery times in order to compete with other international and national online retailers.

I have mixed feelings about this retailer. I have had many occasions where I have not been approached or served. This occasion I was in the market to purchase a new vacuum cleaner. It was beginning like most other times, there were about 5 sales assistants on the sales floor walking around, ignoring me. I walked over to the large screen tvs, fridges and other expensive items to see if I could get some service. Eventually two lovely young ladies came over and helped me out. One that took the initiative was the trainee there. She helped me the best she could, when I asked something that she did not know, she did not panic or lie. She simply said, I will get my manager and we will find out together. The manager of the department came over and assisted and helped answer the remainder of my questions. Overall a good experience after I was served, but it took a long time to get served.

I went there to enquire about a new vacuum cleaner. Ours had recently decided to break so needed a replacement. I told the salesperson what features I would need and she was able to show me a number of different products. I was shown a Vax model which was on special at the time. It was clear that the sales team operate on commission, what began as a friendly discussion quickly turned into a pressure sale. I decided to shop around and see what other deals were available. I ended up not purchasing from the company and got a similar deal elsewhere. The value for money was average. I was initially drawn to this company due to a current marketing campaign on TV and press, but found many of the items I wanted to look at not available.

We have been going here with both our lovely dogs and always have received fantastic customer service. The vets are all very dedicated and caring in their approach. In particular, Dr. Joshua Dearness is one of our favourite vets. It is a pleasure to take our beloved pets to this vet. We have recommended all our friends to use their service.

This review is for Haggle Baby, Noarlunga Centre SA

I am about to become a parent for the first time, and naturally shopped around at different baby stores. HaggleBaby were very competitive with their pricing, had a good range of products. Lots of the products were very cheap and the best price that we could find. The only negative was that several of the larger items needed to be ordered and took a little longer than expected. :) We are thrilled with our purchases and have gone back many other times and purchased more items. It is our first stop for our baby needs. :)

Approximate cost: $1500
