This review is for Vodafone Customer Service, Sydney NSW

verified email - 24 Oct 2013

I have been a vodafone customer for quite a few years now (my kids are also with them) I always buy the recharge vouchers because I think they are great value and never seem to use them up completely. My only issue is that they have informed me that they improved coverage, less dropping out. But nothing has changed, we live in a rural area and I can only use the phone in one place in the house, fortunately the kids can use the internet on their phone - but it has to be up against the window. Also customer service is not worth your time on the phone - terrible customer service. If I have any issues, I have to go in store it is the only way.

This review is for Hamper King, Greenslopes QLD

I have been ordering hampers for 5 years from Hamper King. I mainly order their gift cards as they have so many to choose from. They have an enormous amount of food hampers, alcohol, electrical and even hampers for your pets. The only issue I had with hamper king is when one of my hampers arrived, some of the items were missing and I also had some damaged items. I had to fill out a statutory declaration and mention every item that was missing or damaged and then get someone to sign it. Then forward it to them, and was then told they would consider it. After 3 weeks I received my money back for those items. With the other hamper companies, you just have to call and explain what has occurred and they fix it up there and then, no waiting time (unless it is a whole hamper, then you have to wait a couple of days) This did put me a bit off them, it was quite time consuming, which is not what you want to be doing around christmas time. Besides that, I am still a customer of theirs. I still do recommend them even though they are a bit more expensive than the others.

This review is for Castle Hampers, Silverwater NSW

Have been ordering from Castle Hampers for about 10 years now (I actually order from all three hamper companies) Love the variety of hampers, toys, alcohol and gift cards, it makes christmas at our house so much easier. I have found their customer service to be excellent, just some of the delivery drivers not so pleasant - can be quite rude. A great way to do all your Christmas shopping, yes it is a bit more expensive than in the shops - but its the convenience of paying if off in little bits and not having to deal with all that Christmas grocery shopping. Highly recommend.

I have been ordering hampers from Chrisco for over 10 years now. There have been some hiccups along the way but they always fixed everything. I now also order gift cards from them, which makes it so much easier at christmas - having that bit extra to buy presents. Everyone is always excited when the hampers because they often put in some extra freebies. One year one of my icecream hampers had partly defrosted, I told them and they replaced the whole hamper. I was very happy with that. No complaints here, they make Christmas a lot easier.

This review is for The Wharf Shed Cafe, Geelong VIC

I went here earlier this year on one of several trips visiting family. My husband and I decided that we would go out and have at least one meal to ourselves on this particular trip. Regrettably, we chose this Cafe, the best thing about this place is the location, loved the views - but that was it. We felt the foods was overpriced, which we had to wait quite some time for and I do recall it was not that great, didn't taste fresh. We went back to my brother-inlaws house and explained, his response was - "I could have told you not to go there". In future we will ask, if unsure. I wasn't aware of WOMO earlier this year, so I didn't check it out. Definitely will not be returning on our next trip in a couple of months.

This is where to go in Meadows for your landscaping needs. We regularly purchase barkchips and soil as well as crushed rock from here, reasonable prices, pick up or deliver (a bit expensive for delivery), very friendly owners, always feel welcome and ready for a chat.

This review is for The Little Leaf And Bean, Blackwood SA

Went here for a coffee and piece of cake after finishing my shopping for the day, as I thought I deserved a treat. Nice coffee and friendly comfortable atmosphere. Had to wait 10 minutes for the coffee though, I looked at the menu (I wasn't after a meal, I was just interested) and thought they had quite a lot of cakes and desserts on offer. Overall, it is a nice place to go for a coffee after shopping. Probably wont be returning.

Approximate cost: $7

This review is for Montagna Cafe, Blackwood SA

I went here yesterday for brunch with my friend and realised that I had actually been here maybe 5 or 6 months ago and honestly didn't think very much of it back then, but after reading the lastest review I decided to give them another go and am glad that I did. As we were a bit late for the breakfast (I wanted to try the spicy chorizo egg omelette) we both decided to try the "Montagna" Burger which I have to say was absolutely delicious and looked fabulous - well presented. We had trouble deciding between the burgers or sharing a pizza. But I realised they have a special on tuesdays "buy one 12" pizza get one free" (they are around $16.90) so thought it would be best to wait for a tuesday and try them out then. I found the service to be very quick and they were all quite friendly, we really enjoyed ourselves. I think I will be doing my shopping here more often. After having a great brunch yesterday they are back on my recommend you try list. Definitely will be returning for their pizzas!

This review is for Jack Piper's Cafe, Murray Bridge SA

verified email - 15 Oct 2013

I have been here twice now and have to say out of all the Cafes I have tried in Murray Bridge, this has to be the best. Our most recent visit was for breakfast, after staying with friends. They serve a decent cup of coffee and their Breakfast Muffins are absolutely delicious, all 4 of us had one. The kids had a milkshake with their muffin and loved it. Have previously tried their burgers and their Doorstop. There is so much to choose from the menu, that it makes it extremely difficult. The choice of cakes and desserts always makes it difficult to get the kids out because they want to try some - very hard to resist. Very friendly comfortable atmosphere and fast service. No complaints here and will definitely be back when out this way. Highly recommend!!!!

This review is for Salopian Inn, McLaren Vale SA

After driving past this restaurant for so many years as we live only 15 minutes away my husband and I decided to finally stop and have a look today for lunch. I think we picked the worst day, it was so busy, but we still managed to get a table outside. We had a glass of chardonnay each whilst we looked over the menu and thought WOW this is really expensive. Not wanting to spend a minimum of $30 on one main meal (the meals really looked very small) we decided to have a burger each at a reasonable $10. The burgers were alright but nothing to get over joyed about, I could have made this burger at home actually. We could here the people at the next table also discussing how expensive and small the meals were. Whilst we found the service to be very good and a very friendly atmosphere, we didn't find that the food was all that exciting for the price. We did enjoy the wine though. We will not be returning.

Approximate cost: $30+
