We stayed here on New years Eve, for a special treat. on arrival they got our rooms wrong i paid extra for a room with two queen beds in it. They informed my they were booked out so we would have to have a king room. When we got to the room there were prominent stains on the top of the bed sheets. The mini bar, tea, coffee selection were poor and very lacking. We went to use the pool, there were no towels they had all run out and had not been replaced, there were no real places to get dry after a swim, very poorly laid out. The gym over looks the pool too which is off putting. The cleaning staff were friendly as you walked past but the restaurant staff, the front desk staff all had attitude. On checking out we asked for the car to be brought round after 30 minutes we went to check what was going on, oh your not on the list was the response. So we had to wait another 20 minutes for the car no sorry or anything and we had to pay for the service!!! Will not be staying there again.

Approximate cost: $300

This review is for The Party Superstore, Brighton SA

A absolute Gem this place is. I recently had my son christened and went round a number of local balloon stores to check out prices and get quotes as i had a massive area to decorate so needed quite a few balloons. The party superstore was by far the cheapest coming in under half the price of quite a few other stores. The balloons looked fantastic they lasted for nearly 3 days which is really good for non foil balloons. I was really impressed and ordering was really easy too, friendly welcoming staff, the girl on the counter even gave my son a free balloon on the day we placed our order for him to play with!

Approximate cost: $150

This review is for Beach Huts Middleton, Middleton SA

This is a really nice place we got given a gift voucher to use for a night at Christmas. We stayed in the cheapest of the huts as there are a lot of different ones available at different prices. The huts are beautifully decorated, there is a restaurant on site, tennis courts etc.
Its a really beautiful setting and a great place to come with the kids for a summer holiday or just with your partner to get away. They provide a continental breakfast pack for you to use which was really yummy and also a bottle of bubbles too. My only negative was our bed was super uncomfortable which did put a dampener on our stay. The staff are all very friendly and you are minutes away from the beautiful beach. Great place.

Came here recently with my best friend for a hair trial for her wedding. The stylists where friendly and really great we both loved our hair afterwards and are going to be using them for the big day. The cost was reasonable the same as all others in the area charge.

This is a really busy little place. We always bring our cans and bottles here the guys doing the counting are all very friendly and lift the bags out of the car for you. Its fast and efficient and a great way to earn a little extra money. They have lanes for large loads like vans full and an express lane for people like me who are just bring the cans they use from the house.
Great place.

My husband loves Oysters and assures me that these are fantastic. I myself had salt and pepper calamari and chips which where gorgeous and we enjoyed down at the beach whilst watching the sun go down!! Perfect. They are a little more expensive then your average fish and chip shops but they serve quality products and its really nice for a treat .

This review is for Electrodry Carpet Cleaning, Beverley SA

We had our 2 bedrooms carpets and lounge area recently cleaned. We got a deal for $129 for the 3 rooms which was fair i thought. The guy who came was very friendly and nice and the two bedrooms came up great. I was a little disappointed in the lounge area though as there were a few stains still left behind and as he knew it was a rental i dont think he really tried to get them out which is a little disappointing. He was very quick in and out in less then an hour too.

This review is for Funworks Lolly Factory, Glenelg SA

The staff are friendly and chatty and very welcoming when you walk into the shop. We often come here at Christmas or special occasions as a bit of a treat and buy some of the lollies we used to love when we lived in the UK. They are a lot more expensive then Australian lollies but thats to be expected as they are imported in etc.
My personal favourites are the lemon bom bom's, Yorkie chocolate bars and the double decker chocolate bars.

This review is for Umi Sushi, Glenelg SA

My favourite local sushi place. They always make up fresh for you if they have none already made up. Staff are friendly and efficient and the sushi is always cold, well made with fresh ingredients and lots of them too. My favourite is the smoked salmon, cream cheese and avocado.
I agree with the review before that they are a little bit more expensive but you definiatley get what you pay for these days and they are worth paying more.

This shop is fashion Heaven. They have such quality, well made beautiful items. They are high end and expensive but they often have sales in store and online where you really can grab a massive bargain. The staff in store are welcoming and helpful and are always full of great advice. I have bought a few dresses from here and also an amazing pair of jeans that i live in in winter! Great place for anyone who appreciates beautiful things!
