This review is for Werribee Open Range Zoo, Werribee VIC

verified email - 28 Feb 2014

This is one of our favourite local attractions. Plan on spending the whole day; there is PLENTY to see! Pack a lunch or eat in the cafe. Nothing fancy but plenty of normal "quick foods". The layout of the zoo feels realistic. It's like trekking through a jungle in places. :) There are interesting signs and photo opportunities throughout the park. The hippo area is AMAZING, and we love the new gorilla exhibit! Don't miss out on the safari bus tour, it's the highlight of the Open Range zoo. Can't say enough good things about this place! We'll be going again and again and AGAIN!

This review is for Rushfords Schoolwear, Werribee VIC

verified email - 27 Feb 2014

I've been going to Rushford's for quite a few years now; it's the only place to get uniforms for my child's school. They almost always have what I need in stock, the quality seems good, the service is EXCELLENT, they are always friendly and able to help find the right size. They always have a handy layby service. The only down point is they aren't cheap. Because there's no competitor, I can't really shop around for better prices and they can pretty much charge whatever they want, because, well... I can't get the uniform anywhere else! :)

We been here probably a dozen times over the years, and it's never been disappointing. The food has always been good, service has always been friendly, the prices are really just average. Not terribly expensive but not fantastic prices either. I'd love to see a bit more variety on the menu, but it's certainly not a terrible selection. We will probably go back in the future, and we would recommend it to locals. There's no "WOW" factor that makes it stand out to me, but for a local night out it's fine.

My son did soccer here when he was about 4 and a half. We went for maybe 6 months, and they were FANTASTIC. Staff are excellent with kids, facility is OK, prices are VERY competitive with no contract; just a weekly fee. My son really enjoyed going, we should probably go back! HIGHLY recommend.

This review is for Mossfiel Electrical And Safety Management MESM, Hoppers Crossing VIC

I was able to get a booking exactly when I needed it; the electrician arrived on time and was very friendly and had no problem with our dogs and 4 year old, who were all very curious about what he was doing! The ceiling fixtures he installed for us look fantastic, the rates were reasonable, and they also happen to be an award winning business (2007 & 2010 Wyndham business awards)! I would recommend them to anyone seeking electrical services, and we will continue to use them in the future, when the need arises. 100% happy customer!

This review is for All Green Nursery & Garden Supplies, Hoppers Crossing VIC

I LOVE shopping here. I've never used the delivery service, but just walking around and looking at the massive variety is like being in a tropical oasis! I've bought many trees and flowers here over the years. The service is always great, prices reasonable, and selection AMAZING. It continues to be one of my favourite places to browse, even though I've run out of room in my garden! :) I LOVE All Green Nursery!

This review is for Kmart Tyre & Auto Service, Werribee VIC

verified email - 27 Feb 2014

We've been going here for years. Most of the staff is very friendly. The prices are competitive, and generally we've been happy with the quality of the service. On 2 occasions, our car had issues after having a regular service that weren't present before dropping the car off, but I cannot be 100% sure it was the fault of Kmart Tyre and auto. But we've been going since 2008 and only ever had 2 issues, and they could just be coincidence. Generally happy with service, they are usually spot on with the time quote. They've never done anything "extra" without first getting permission from me. The location is convenient to us. And the prices are competitive. We'll continue to go back.

This review is for My Candy, Hoppers Crossing VIC

I've been going here almost every week for probably close to 2 years... they have a FANTASTIC range of goodies; Australian, American, and British. I think they carry some NZ items as well. They often have mark down specials, and they will take special requests for items to import. But the reason I keep coming back? (besides my sweet tooth!) The service is unbeatable. The staff there are always smiling, upbeat, and they remember my favourite items (Arizona Teas) and put 1 or 2 on the counter as soon as they see me. :) Excellent place for import goodies and terrific service!

This review is for Blossoms Of Wyndham, Tarneit VIC

Very disappointed, will not be going back and cannot recommend based on personal experience. I dropped some balloons off for a party to have them filled, about 2 dozen regular balloons and one very large mylar (a pirate ship) the girl told me it would cost between 10-15 dollars to fill it, even though regular balloons are only 1 dollar each (the big balloon was DEFINITELY NOT the size of 15 regular balloons) when I came to pick up the next day, I was charged OVER 25 DOLLARS for the big balloon, I did not get a call to check if this was OK, and after paying a small fortune, the big balloon popped on the way to the car. (it was just floating in the air, and did not touch anything... the only cause would have been overfilling it) I wasted almost 30 dollars and had to rush off to a party without the special centre piece. very disappointed indeed. When a business gives a quote, they need to stay within the original quote or contact the consumer to verify extra cost BEFORE proceeding.

Approximate cost: $55.00

This review is for Sottile's Pizza, Werribee VIC

verified email - 13 Feb 2014

We've ordered delivery with Sottile's several times and eaten in the establishment once. Delivery takes a while, close to an hour, so not a good choice if you're starving. If you can wait though, the food is good and they have a massive amount of choices... the most I've ever seen for delivery. Pizzas, regular and gourmet, fish and chips, burgers, pastas, salads, desserts, even your alcohol can be delivered! The restaurant is not fancy, and we waited over an hour, but the food is pretty good and the staff is great. It's a family owned/operated business. We will definitely order from them again, just not when we're in a hurry!

Approximate cost: $15.00
