Smokemart Hillcrest

Smokemart Hillcrest in South Australia is one of those friendly local spots that feels more like dropping by a mate’s place than just another shop. The store might be on the smaller side, but crikey, they’ve got everything a tobacconist should have, plus a ripper selection of gifts and accessories that’ll sort you right out when you’re stuck for present ideas. Just ask the regulars who’ve scored some bonza Christmas pressies here.

The staff here are absolute gems. We’ve heard time and time again about how they’re always up for a chat and ready to help you find exactly what you need. One visitor even mentioned picking up a sweet pair of sunnies, and reckons the whole experience was spot-on. They’re known for being quick on their feet too, so you won’t be standing around twiddling your thumbs.

Price-wise, you’re in for a treat. Visitors say the prices here actually beat what you’d pay at the supermarkets, which is pretty fantastic if you ask me. They stock all your usual tobacconist gear like cigarettes, rolling papers, and lighters, plus heaps of accessories that catch your eye while you’re browsing around.

They’re open every weekday from 8 in the morning until 6 at night, and Saturdays they wrap up a bit earlier at 5. Even on Sundays, you can pop in between 10 and 4, which is handy when you need something on the weekend. The store takes all sorts of payments, whether you’re paying by card, EFTPOS, or good old cash.

What really sets this place apart is how the staff make everyone feel welcome. It’s not just about selling stuff; they’ve got this knack for making you feel like you’re part of the furniture. Whether you’re just ducking in for your usual or spending time browsing their gift selection, you’ll probably end up having a yarn with the friendly team while you’re there.
