I like shopping at The Base. There are plenty of stores to choose from, including my requisite…read morebaby gear/kids stores - Baby Factory, Baby City and Nurtured. Farmers also has a good supply of baby gear to choose from. It has both indoor and outdoor stores and a separate little outlet mall. The parking is plentiful and free, which is also a good reason to drive out here to shop instead of paying for parking at Centre Place in the CBD. There is a food court with the usual options in the indoor side of the mall and a block of eateries across the way as an outdoor food court. In the end, it's a mall. I do like that there is a fairly large green space and playground, which allows my husband and I to divide and conquer with the kids. This is handy.

Health wise there is a medical centre attached and large Unichem pharmacy. The Health 2000, eyewear store and walk in massage store are always busy as well as the low cost hairdresser and the more upmarket Rodney Wayne's. You can get low cost mani and pedis with free wifi at ProfessioNail. There is one clothes and accessories store for infants called Hatch opposite an older ladies fashion shop and even a DVD store.

Also a few restaurants just past the foodcourt on the outside. Three stars for the very limited under cover car parking. A mall this size needs more covered spaces for the erratic Auckland weather.
