This wonderful Italian restaurant is situated close to the beach. Inside and outside seating is available, great for a warm summers evening to watch the sun set over the beach. Fabulous romantic atmosphere. Open from 8am, it is great for breakfast. The lunch and dinner menu will definately tantalise your taste buds. I had the pleasure of dining here for dinner with my partner. The Prosciutto Gamberi: prawns,garlic and prosciutto withtomato , basil and herbs was delicious and priced at $25.90 it was well worth the cost. The Pollo Florence: chicken with baby spinach,tomato and mozzarella in rose sause served with potatoes and grilled vegetables was define. Costing $24.50. Kids menus are available for children under 12 yrs old, and include the meal, a drink and a gelato. Great value. The pizzas are made and wood fired, which make them taste so much better than a traditional pizza. We finished our evening with a fabulous Italian coffee, got a take away gelatti and went for a walk on the beach. I will definately be returning to this restaurant. The staff were lovely, making sure that we were comfortable, and ensured that we were happy with our meals.

Wanting to take the kids camping, but I had no idea what gear I needed. These guys we're fabulous. Being a woman, they were great, didn't treat me like an idiot. Full of advice, and told me exactly what I would need for a great weekend away. I settled on a Oz Trail Weekender tent, that wasn't difficult to put up. But was large enough for the kids and I, and it also has a verandah section at the front for our camp table and chairs.(which I also purchased) Next I needed sleeping bags, I got all four needed for just under $200. The kids were kept warm as toast. All up I spent just under $700. A purchase well worth the money. As a family we had a ball. And now I can proudly say as a single mum.... Yep!! I take my kids camping. The staff were amazing, and were happy to help in any way they could. They have a great range of camping gear
, from the basic tents right through to the high tech equipment. Open 7 days a week, which makes it very convenient.

This review is for Will's Plumbing, Adelaide SA

About a month ago my hot water service decided to die, and having kids it was at the most inappropriate time for this to happen. (Is there ever an appropriate time??) I needed this fixed asap. I started scanning for plumbers that were close by. I came across a couple that were either fully booked or way too expensive. So I guess that was a blessing in disguise. I came across Will's Plumbing and gave them a call. The service that I received was wonderful, he came out within the hour. The hot water service was irrepairable. I was amazed that a replacement was at my home and installed within 24 hours. I even got a courtesy call before he arrived for the installation. I had no disruption whilst the plumber was installing it, and absolutely no mess. He even took the old hot water service away. I was only charged the out of hours call out free of $120, as the rest was covered with my insurance. I thoroughly recommend this service, as he was friendly, honest and genuinely understood the urgency for the repair.

This review is for A Better Bunch Florist, Christies Beach SA

This florist has had about 25 years experience and it really shows in her work. Audrey really knows her work, and is a true artist with flowers. Friendly and helpful, she certainly helps you find the perfect arrangementfor that special event. She is open until 6pm week days and until 4pm on Saturdays. The flowers are simply beautiful, the arrangement that I had made up was superb, and my mother just loved it. Audrey offers a delivery service, and if ordered early enough, it is same day. She has a passion for flowers and it really shows in her work. If you want something specific, and it is not in stock, Audrey will go out of her way to find it. Her price start at $18.00. She has something for every budget. These blooms are so fresh, just like straight from your own garden. And the quality is amazing.

This review is for Wilmax Aluminium, Lonsdale SA

Wilmax is a local family run business that are fantastic metal Fabricators. Bill Drenth offers a great service to his customers. We needed a trailer repair, which was done in a matter of days. Far quicker than we expected. The repair was outstanding quality, and totalled $600. Which was also the best quote we received. Wilma offers custom trailers, off-road campers canopies and more. Bill employs highly skilled staff that really bring quality to their work. Bill takes the time to sit down with the customer and discuss what is wanted, he draws all plans up himself and gives the customer exactly what they want and need. The service was great, he was friendly, helpful and very professional. All materials used are of high standard, and the finished products are amazing. This business is second to none for custom jobs.

This review is for Hahndorf Farm Barn, Hahndorf SA

This is a great family outing that doesn't cost the earth. My children had an amazing time, and its an experience they won't forget. A farm environment that gives kids of all ages the hand on experience. They held a farm show where we were given a chance to milk a cow, feed the baby lambs and learn about all the animals. These are held twice daily at 11am and again at 2pm. The wildlife show was great, these are held on weekends at 12.30pm. We were introduced to owls, lizards and even a snake(non venomous of course). My daughter squealed with delight when she held the lizard and the snake, it was an amazing experience for the kids to learn so much and the hands on approach really was enjoyable. Inside the huge barn, pens full of baby lambs, goats, chickens and guinea pigs were available for petting. The children could climb in and actually have a cuddle with any of these beautiful babies. Outside is a more open area where you can walk through the enclosure with kangaroos, wallabies, ponies, ducks and emus. And able to feed them all. Food is available from the staff. BBQ facilities are there for those who want a full day, and are situated among beautiful gardens. The kiosk sells coffee for the parents and other refreshments. A new eddition is the pony rides that are held on the weekends between 11.30 and 2.30pm. Costs are : $10 child, $11 student or conc, $13 adult and $39 family. A great day that doesn't blow the budget. I'll definately be going back.

Bought my vx commodore here 6 months ago and its just a great car. Everywhere else I looked, the cars were out of my budget. This small car yard is a family owned local business, and they go out of their way to ensure that you are happy with the car that you choose. I was able to test drive for a reasonable length of time, not just a quick spun around the block. I also bought an extended warranty for my car, which I haven't had to use. hey sold me a great car that was mechanically sound. All their cars are under $10,000. The quality and condition of the vehicles is great. They offer mechanical services on their vehicles and ensure that you have many years of happy driving.

This review is for Eye & Vision, Noarlunga Centre SA

I just purchased my first pair of glasses from here and the service was great. The girls were lovely. Very friendly and helpful, they assisted me to choose my frames. The optomotrist was extremely thorough with my eye examination, and was very polite. He took the time to explain what they were doing during the test. I had my glasses in about 8 days which was great. My headaches have stopped. Prices vary dramatically depending on what frames and prescription you require, mine were approx $400. I am extremely happy with the service I received, and I look forward to returning when I receive my reminder in the mail to have my regular eye check up

My daughter recently bought a poodle x puppy. He was such a gorgeous little thing. Beautiful fluffy white hair. Until this little mischievous boy found the garden. He turned into a ball of dirty mess. Trying to clean him was a nightmare, as his hair just matted up. The girls were great, got him all cleaned up and gave him an adorable hair cut complete with little blue bow. They only had Boof for about an hour, and their price was great. We are now a regular. They also have self wash facilities if you choose to do the cleaning yourself. They are just great

Approximate cost: $30.00

This review is for Kerry Scissorhands, Christies Beach SA

My four year old decided to play hairdresser on her self, and well... the end product wasnt pretty. In a complete panic, tried to get it fixed asap. Kerry Scissorhands fitted my aspiring hairdresser in straight away. I was amazed at what she did, I was expecting to have my daughter end up with something resembling a crew cut. But No, miracles were worked. My little girl now had a gorgeous bob, with a side fringe that hid all of her handy work. and all fixed for only $15.00. Needless to say, I NOW HIDE THE HOUSEHOLD SCISSORS.
