They have the coolest gadgets when it comes to cooking equipment. I love the designs they stock, the colours and the variety. You can walk in with no intention of buying, but end up leaving with a whole bunch of fun kitchen appliances. For example recently, I wasn't looking for anything in particular but I ended up walking out with a pair of tongs with bright red ends that have a bend on them, so when you lay it on the bench, the tongs won't touch the surface. Genius! The customer service here is very good. They helped with all the queries I had, even showed me products on the top shelves which required a use of a ladder. They were informative and knowledgable in regards to the items they sell. This is my favourite kitchen/homewares store in Mt Ommaney Centre.

Ensuring that you get the genuine, good stuff is the key and at the hospitality superstore, you get that by the truck loads. HSS is the source of where restaurants order their fit out and utensils. It features everything you can possibly think of needed for the home kitchen or a restaurant, including ovens and cookers. For me, I went through a Chef Ramsay stage, where I'd care deeply about the ingredients and subsequent tools I would use to turn those things into robust dishes. I didn't know about this place, and I'm kinda glad I didn't because I would've dropped a fortune on getting the perfect mixing bowl or an industrial strength blender (no cheap Brevill here, thanks!). It's all good stuff and it's expensive. But you truly get what you pay for.

I'm sure if I searched long and hard enough along every shelf and nook of The Hospitality Store, I…read morecould find everything including the kitchen sink. Their range is that vast (kitchen sinks probably not included) and whether you're a home cook seeking great value items of a professional standard, or indeed are a hospitality pro, there's every tool, container, gadget or piece of Chef's clothing your heart desires. I was on the hunt for bamboo disposable cutlery and having looked online realised it was probably going to be more cost effective to buy in store. Only on a whim, driving past, did I think to stop here. For just over $8 for 100 pieces, it was by far the cheapest option my research had found. And let's keep in mind I was shopping for 600 knives and forks. I was left to my own devices to search the store but know the staff would have been there to help in a jiffy had I asked. I'm not one for overbearing sales assistants so the peace to scan the store in my own manner was really appreciated. Whether for work or home, I've no doubt I'll be back to buy more gadgets and kitchen paraphernalia.

Making a conscious effort to avoid Bunnings and support the little guys (even though True Value…read moreHardware is a chain) I went here one Sunday afternoon hoping to get some information on compost bins and perhaps buy a couple of small plants. It's a fairly small hardware store, so I shouldn't have been surprised to find they only had three compost bins in stock, but I was disappointed with the lack of range and also the lack of interest displayed by the salesperson. The compost bins didn't have prices on them and the salesperson could only give prices "off the top of his head", which didn't really make me want to buy from there. I also went to look at some small flowering plants inside, but didn't find anything of interest and found it a bit expensive. I went there just for the nursery side of things, so can't comment on the hardware section of the store, but would recommend going elsewhere for plants and gardening needs.

We wanted to purchase some rocks for our driveway. We were really pleased with the level of…read moreservice we received from True Value Hardware Wellers Hill, particularly in relation to providing us with samples so we could make a better decision. Once we decided, we booked in a time for delivery and the guys showed up on time - bonus! - however, there was a slight problem ...they delivered the wrong rocks!! We called them back once we realised and while they couldn't rectify it immediately as it was a busy Sunday (and their supplier was closed), it was pretty close! Craig (CJ) came back at the end of the day to have a chat, understand the issue and agree a way forward. He arrived bright and early Monday to remove the incorrect rocks (without us even hearing him!) and returned as agreed to re-lay the correct blue stone. He was extremely apologetic, did this all on his own time, and did it all with a smile on his face. Yes, it would have been terrific if this hadn't happened in the first place, however, we all know things can go wrong! The thing we liked the most was the great customer service we received from CJ as soon as he found out we hadn't received what we were supposed to! Right from that point he was only focused on rectifying the situation and ensuring we were satisfied customers. For that, we'd like to say Thank You!

For hardware shops, you can't get better than this…read more My favourite is the children's playground, just shove the little suckers in there and close the gate, where can they go? That's right, nowhere. While you have a little coffee to de-insane your mind. My second favourite spot in this massive warehouse is the garden centre. They have cool terracotta pots and statues for your garden, they even have chicken coups and guinea pig cages. Pretty sure they have bird aviaries as well. They sell trees, flowers, plants, plastic plants, marbles, stones, aquarium rocks, moss... everything for your gardening needs. And the prices won't break your bank either. My third favourite section is the section right inside of the garden area, where they sell kids chairs and playhouses, and slides and swings and how cute is that kiddy lounge chair? They're pretty cheap too from $10. Not sure how long they'll last, but I bought some anyway. My fourth favourite section is the art supplies section. They sell little wooden bread boxes you can paint, they sell paint brushes and a really cool range of acryllic and oil based paints and they sell rollers as well for painting walls. In a different section you can get your perfect paint colour made up and shaken too. My fifth and last favourite section is the lighting section near the back of the shop. Here we bought our exhaust fan/normal lights/heating lights for our bathroom and they look spectacular, even though we had no idea, someone was always around to give us one, or what they thought, sometimes they didn't even work there. That's the kind of person that shops at Bunnings. Definetely worth going there, if not for the cheap insect catchers and mini garden pots and number plate signs for your house or business. It's also got a playground!

Who doesn't love Bunnings?…read more I know next to nothing about DIY, but upon entering a Bunnings I'm suddenly filled with the confidence to renovate, feng shui my life or simply change all the knobs and doorhandles around the house. Absolutely anything seems possible. Fortunately I tend to snap to before I attempt to jam the entire warehouse into my car. Instead I'll usually just wander up to one of the many friendly and knowledgable staff and ask about this that and the other. Tools, colours, key cutting - These guys know it all.

They have fridges, washing machines, dryers and some freezers, depending on when you go the range can vary.

Still worth a shot though because if you find what you need, the prices are likely to be quite reasonable. Not the most fun shopping experience but worth a look if you're on a budget.
