I bought 4 chickens (point of lay) on Saturday 31/8. We got everything we needed for them. Food, straw, water & food dispensers, worming solution. They even clipped the chicken's wings for no extra charge!

Everyone knew exactly what we needed to know, they were efficient, friendly & only too happy to help! Right down to there being a bag of chicken feed at the counter that we hadn't even asked for yet :)

We had popped in the week before to get some other bits & again, the guy we spoke to answered all our questions for us! Really impressed with the service & even though it is a good 30/40 minute drive from us, I don't think I will use another pet store again!

They have huge bags of straw for just $4. 20kg of feed - $16.

They are well worth a visit if you have a pet! They sell various animals from fish to chickens, but cater for a whole range of animals, with heaps of items on sale!

They also have a large outdoor garden centre for all your plant needs.

Approximate cost: $18.00 for point of lay chicken

This review is for The Animal Barn, Onkaparinga Hills SA

verified email - 21 Aug 2013

I used the Animal Barn at Onkaparinga for a child's birthday. They catered it for me, including drinks & biscuits for the adults!

Activities for the children included
Pony rides & grooming
Small animal (rabbits/chicks etc) interaction
Feeding chickens, ducks, ponies, goats (all food supplied)
Making a feed cake for the pigs & feeding it to them
Toy tractors to play on

The great thing was that I got to be fully involved as I didn't have to organise/cook food etc nor did I have to clear up Bonus!! All I supplied was the birthday cake & lolly bags!

It was a great day!

Word of warning, if it is a wet day (or has been wet) don't dress the kids up & wear gum boots! As you would expect for an animal barn, it does get muddy when wet!

Approximate cost: $300.00 for a party of 10

This review is for Yiros King, Reynella SA

verified email - 21 Aug 2013

Best Yiros this side of the city, I reckon! Good size portions, fresh salads, desserts & meat. A wide selection of sauces for the meat & well wrapped so they don't lose heat! Hot chips not too salty like some places, good size portions again. They take telephone orders & EFTPOS.

Only downside is, they seem to close quite early of an evening.

Approximate cost: $12.00 +

This review is for Crowne Plaza Hotel Adelaide, Adelaide SA

We stayed here last year as we won a night in a hotel in a competition. Valet parking (included) was efficient, with friendly staff.

We ordered room service for breakfast. That was prompt. The continental breakfast was a disappointment, with small (almost bite sized) pastries, and as I only ordered two items, I was left feeling hungry. The coffee also came in a cardboard take away cup. My partner had a full English & his was plentiful! His tea came in a proper china tea cup!

The room was clean & nicely looked after.

I can't comment on value (but had to give it a value for the purpose of this review), because as I said, we didn't pay for this overnighter, and if you don't want to be hungry, and fancy a continental, order more than 2 items & 2 of each! And if you like your hot drinks in a cup, don't order a coffee!

I stayed here for one night recently for a special anniversary get-a-way with my husband. The room was pleasant, nicely decorated & clean. We had a lovely city view. We had a complimentary breakfast (we had a package deal). Lots of choice, full English breakfast, Continental, pancakes, fruit, cereal, fresh tea/coffee. Would definitely recommend & stay again!
