This review is for Possums Garden & Gifts, Elizabeth South SA

I love this little centre, it is surprisingly huge, and so many plants, and pots. I went there just because I was curious, as it has just opened, and was only interested in pots, but enjoyed viewing the giftware, and the array of colourful pots.
The range of plants is extensive. Very well priced !

Approximate cost: $Fair prices

This review is for Swedish Tarts, Semaphore SA

verified email - 02 Jan 2015

The staff are made to endure a very hot environment with little ventilation, BUT THEY ARE EXCELLENT AT THEIR TASK! The food is the usual fare of pre-baked goodies, and the coffee is really very nice, served with a bottle of water.
Oh, but the aprons, guys, really!?
Swedish Tarts on the aprons of your staff is unsavoury, especially given that the girls were mild and pleasant and dressed well. Love the rustic interior.

On my Birthday, I had booked a rare occasion for my Birthday celebration, like, once every 10 years or so do I find it compelling enough to hold a celebration....
The entire gathering of 8 people were disgusted at the food, and I failed to eat my dinner. My goodness, it was the last time I shall dare to go to Primo, tho' the staff were ever so nice, the food was horrible, I am surprised that we did not get botulism.

Approximate cost: $too expensive

I purchased a second hand starter motor for my daughters car, they listened, and helped me out with other issues, and they do not rush you.
Big plus, is that there is a female employee to help the girls!

I had purchased an American electrical product and needed an inverter to correct the charge.
Top Service, and the store is amazing for electronics too.

This review is for Gary's Garage, Salisbury Plain SA

If you are sick to death of being lumped with extra work that does not need to be done, and the total disregard to your needs, then stop right now, and head to Gary's,
or just continue to be emptied of your wallet.
Great old fashioned service.
I had my Magna 180K service at a fraction of the cost of the nearby Mech/Tech.

Approximate cost: $Very affordable

This review is for Saffron Sky, Hyde Park SA

verified email - 18 Jan 2014

This place was recommended to me, and grudgingly I went...........but I am sure glad I did go. Love the atmosphere (like a mini wohlers!) The breakfast I ordered was typical of me to order, "bacon and egg muffin with cheese and lettuce" Absolutely delicious, my daughter ordered a Ciabatta with mushrooms and spinach. Fantastic and fresh, for drinks I ordered a ginger/apple juice, made fresh, to wash it all down. Perfect. This is my new hang out, and Jackson recomends the coffee.
The coffee is "Fair Trade" and the food awesomely fresh, there are gift lines and jewelry and an odd assortment of stuff to buy.
The furniture has that homey rustic appeal.

Approximate cost: $Reasonable

This review is for Bagster Road Community Centre, Salisbury North SA

verified email - 17 Jan 2014

This is a great community hub, too little used by my reckoning. Creche for those who have little children, so that they can do craft, excercise, cooking, and a multitude of other community group activities. Basic computing, multicultural events, worship services, and information of local Council services. The venue is great for receptions, and other events to hire. The facilities are clean, and modern, with sufficient car parking for community events.
Many volunteers run the day to day activities and it is Very well booked.

This review is for Just A Lil' Retro, Clearview SA

verified email - 17 Jan 2014

I love this little retro shop. There are no cheap new stuff to buy like in other so called second hand shops! The 70's stuff fills this shop, board games, chinaware, cutlery, desks, tables, funky chairs and memorabilia, records, collectables. It is fantastic ! The owner is helpful, and the shop is full to the brim, it takes quite a while to browse. I had a table delivered for a nominal fee.

This review is for Jubilee Way Community Centre, Wynn Vale SA

verified email - 16 Jan 2014

This is a delightful little Community Centre, it has a fenced off pond and surrounded by trees and a garden. The car park is quite adequate, and comfortably seated 125 people at a recent function I attended. Very neatly kept. The only downside is the local foot traffic comes past to use the "facilities", as it is a "Community Hall". Great place otherwise.
