There are children's play areas, food courts, bakeries, and at least one dentist. Numerous public art installations and water features are found throughout. As entertainment, it's great for people watching. If you're shopping and can't find it here, it probably does not exist.

It's been there forever, and as far as I know id the only Quadrangle shopping village in the world. There's some deeply unfashionable (yet reassuringly expensive) ladies fashion boutiques, an IGA (that used to be a Jewels, then a Franklins, then a Coles) with a crappy range, an amazing Butcher Boys, some kid of cafe that keeps changing hands, the Flavours of Peking Chinese restaurant that's been going since time immemorial, and a rather clean bathroom. I love it because it screams village, community, small-town suburban life of the kind that's dying and won't be around in 100 years. So come one, come all, eat and drink and make merry. But if you're on rollerblades, God help you, you take your business elsewhere. We don't want your kind around here.

Now I can't stop going back! The roomy carpark has 2 hours free parking, then upstairs you're greeted with a sunny and fashionably modern courtyard lined with cafes and shops. This is the curative for my hatred of shopping centre cafes: with plenty of outdoor seating under broad umbrellas. There's a Cicco Cafe, Pattison's Patisserie and Simone Logue, as well as a Harris Farm, Hudson Meats, Chickens Plus and even a bookshop! And for parents it's too easy with a daycare and medical centre right upstairs. You may be perched right on the express way, but Stockland Cammeray is a very well designed spot.

There is a Harris Farms here for grocery shopping and Hudsons Butchers, Pattison's Bakery, Simone Logue and a few other cafes and restaurants like Wild Sage, Cha Cha and so on. I believe there are also some other shops like salons and book shop etc. There is 2 hour free parking here and the carpark is spacious. It's easy to get in and out of this place and its been a nice addition to the suburb. There is a medical centre some offices and a daycare in this centre. It's quite busy day or night with shoppers and restaurant goers. I like the space here and its open and welcoming. Not bad for a suburban shopping centre.

It is owned by the Centre Group, which was previously part of the Westfield Group, a multi-national based in Australia.

Even if you have an app. on your phone that locates bears (you know who you are), you're not guaranteed to find them here. Instead you'll enjoy a retail food experience. 'Coles' and 'Bakers Delight' represent the larger brands but the rest of the outlets here are independents including a lovely farmers market style Greengrocer (Dom the Grocer) and 'Naturally Organic Meat and Poultry' store. It's a clean, village style centre with lovely clean toilets and underground parking (which is free for 2 hours on receipt of at least $20). The very best thing about this place though is Bay Play Soft Play Centre. It's an airconditioned dream for mothers with under 5's and is very popular on hot days as it's FREE! Well you do have to spend a minimum of $20 to qualify for the free 2 hour parking at the centre but with so many lovely shops - that shouldn't be an issue.

OK, so once you're in, there is a decent size Coles, plus the other expectable grocery requisites, including a very good green grocer (Dom the Grocer), but generally it's a bit ordinary. The teppanyaki is a, odd inclusion - generally a light-hearted group event that peaks with someone getting covered in a tossed bowl of fried rice, but not really one you'd expect to enjoy in the middle of a shopping centre.

Confessions of a Shopaholic who either lives near or in Chatswood...welcome home! Look no further,…read morethis is the shopping centre of choice in Chaddy...let alone the entire North Shore :) Great food downstairs as you enter from Victoria Avenue. On the other hand, Chatswood Chase has forged a reputation for itself as the "fashion retail" capital of the area. Who could not agree more. There are an abundance of fashion styling and shopping night events on in this locale from time to time. A few new stores have recently opened here too. Even my favourite Lululemon. Chaddy Chase also has a pretty cool Apple store, and a mini kids playground in their kid-friendly area. If you're in the mood for shopping, a coffee break and lunch intertwined...then this is your place to "play."

The food court is very clean, with plenty of variety on offer from Indian to fast food. The sushi is super fresh and extra tasty. There is less of a crowd compared to Chatswood Westfield, which provides relief for those who dislike crowds (which I am sure is most of us). With less traffic, it is easier to shop and navigate your way around the centre. Chatswood Chase houses a number of high street and haute couture stores from Alannah Hill and Zimmermann to Lisa Ho and Veronika Maine. If you're looking for evening wear, Chatswood Chase is the place to go. Having forgotten where I parked my car, I asked the valet attendant to help me locate my car. He was very friendly and gave me ample instructions and directions. Overall, the thumbs up for Chatswood Chase.

It's easy to park, you can have coffee without risk of losing a small child in the traffic, and with a premier Fitness First upstairs its just the job for doing your groceries and your workout in a single stop.

Ussed & Abbussed The Department Store is one of Sydney's best kept secrets when it comes to new and vintage clothes, shoes, jewellery, and accessories. Ussed & Abbussed is located at Cremorne (just off Neutral Bay), only minutes from the city behind McDonald's, and past one of Sydney's most popular private schools. A previous writing assignment (while I was a freelance writer before becoming a doctor) brought this place to my attention, and the awesomeness of Ussed & Abbussed has got me hooked on quality new and vintage clothes for both men and women at affordable prices. This is true. In fact, this fantastic business has been around for eight years now, as at the time of writing this. The owner, Dianna (otherwise known as Di) founded this business from her passion for designer goods. Furthermore, Di found a way to source cheap, quality clothes from overseas, and henceforth found a cost effective way to bring them to Australia. Di is involved in buying trips in the USA, France, Spain, and the UK to name. Even more impressive, Di has a generous and loving heart. This amazing individual loves to give in many ways. For starters, the clothing items available here are available at around 80% off the standard retail prices. Di also gives about $8000 worth of stock away to organisations such as The Salvation Army, as well as to St Vincent's Hospital to name on an annual basis. The customer service and friendly acknowledgements are awesome. Walking into a store with over 2000 designer labels under one roof is definitely a department store in itself. It may be a tad overwhelming, yet it is an absolute pleasure to spend at least a couple of hours here...totally up to you. Assistance is at hand to help you find out what you need. You will walk away feeling really prosperous with your purchases. Ussed & Abbussed The Department Store also have available a personal fashion stylist, who is also an elegant woman in herself, who exudes charm and walks the talk...a woman by the name of Hana. Hana has helped me find the right dress for the right occasion, as well as a pair of Dick Boons boots that feel so awesome to wear. Both Di and Hana (while serving you here) emphasise the need to feel good in what you're wearing. The ambience is laid back, inviting, and well displayed. There is plenty to view and admire, and there is even a visitors book to sign if you wish. A quote from Hana that has been drilled into my skull...please let me share it with you: "It is not about the dress, it is about the woman behind the dress." Charm is alive and well, and both genders will love shopping here. Ussed & Abbussed The Department Store have also held special parties upon request such as hens nights, and yes (you are reading this right) divorce parties to name as well. Di closes the shop for a couple of hours to accommodate such requests. They may occasionally hold special shopping nights too. Bookings must be made in advance for such. The first time I came to Ussed & Abbussed, I brought a pair of vintage Dick Boons boots for only $75. Normally the same boots retail for $600. See, generosity reigns at this place. Definitely money well spent. Hence the reason for my rave review. On my second most recent visit I brought a lovely Ralph Lauren floral top for around $35. This top would easily retail for $200. I love it. Easy to iron and ever so colourful. I also purchased a Bettina Liano long sleeve top for around the same price. Perfect with jeans too...or any skirt. Really happy with these purchases to - if not over the moon with them. It is true. Ussed & Abbussed sell clothing and accessories from the following brands to name: Burberry, Chanel, Chloe, Michael Kors, Versace, Alannah Hill and Wayne Cooper. These brand names spell luxe and quality in the fashion world. Hair extensions and bric-a-brac is also available. Di might offer you a lovely cup of coffee too. The Great Gatsby film producers have also approached Di to assist in the clothing selection for their cast. The clothes on sale at Ussed & Abbussed The Department Store have also appeared on TV show Puberty Blues as well. A great store. No, a really great store. You will never know what treasures you might find for your wardrobe here, and you will walk away with immense value. Hands down the best vintage clothing store in Sydney. One of the (if not the) best designer clothing stores full stop. Thank you so much...with immense gratitude. xxx

Thrive Located in the Food Court where there are actually communal tables! I ordered up one of their new Brekkie Wraps $8 (scrambled eggs, bacon, tomato salsa, seasonal greens, avo & pea mash) with sweet potato $2 as an add on. It was tasty, warming, and quite filling. Greenwood Grocer I picked up a combo bowl of their Nutty Rice (Brown rice, almonds, walnuts, raisins, fresh vegetables & herbs; Soy, honey, garlic dressing) and Chicken & Basil Penne (penne pasta, chicken, sundried tomato, celery, fresh herbs; creamy pesto mayonnaise) $7.30 medium, from their prepped food area. Yes, it was cold, but still, it was rather tasty, and the portion more than sufficient for my brunch.
