I love the vast selection of shops and there are lots of parking spaces in the garage. The best part is the free parking. There are many restaurants in this huge shopping center so one can spend all day in this beautiful mall. read more

Many people will complain about how big it is and how hard it is to get around. I love it. The big space is annoying to travel around but on days where your goal is to relax and just go with the flow. I went there for a movie with my oldest friends and came out laughing with drinks in hand. Big shops and places you can make bookings are put in massively convenient places. I will admit that the toilets need some work, they smell like sewerage, but what public bathroom doesnt. read more

Wonderful place to be! I was staying in the city of Melbourne At the Westin hotel. They told me of a free shuttle that takes you to Chadstone. 25 minute drive. Make sure you get the right times from the shuttle service themselves. And if they say they are booked on a certain hour that was never the case. It was never full as they say. They have all the high end designers imaginable! read more

I could spend all day here! I didn't even get to experience the whole mall, but it was pretty darn cool! Lots of designer shops and more reasonably priced stores as well. Make sure you have plenty of cash or a high limit on your card before coming here! read more

I'm not a Chadstone fan. In fact, I'm not a fan of shopping malls in general. I hate them on principle, for the fact that they're a facsimile of a city but without the character or the principle or the joy. I hate the architectural tricks they use to keep you isolated and inside. And yes, I used to hate it whenever my business dragged me out to Chaddy. But I had to go out there the other day, and it wasn't awful and now I'm all confused. I mean, yes, the fact that they built a massive shopping centre that isn't near any real public transport is still a bit baffling. But it's full of skylights and, except for the complete absence of clocks, they don't pull any architectural voodoo to confuse and disorient you. I mean, admittedly everything looks the same, but that's the nature of franchise stores. So I guess, if you have to go to a shopping centre, you could do worse. read more

It is a very high end place. Almost every store in here has ridiculously expensive price tags. Best place for window shopping

Chadstone- The fashion capital. You know, that's not their slogan for no reason. Chadstone really IS the fashion capital. This huge shopping center based in the southeastern suburbs of Melbourne and is only 20mins from the city. It is the biggest shopping center in the Southern Hemisphere! Chadstone is a very popular shopping center that boasts over 500 stores, including large department store such as David Jones & Myer, as well as international luxury brands such as Louise Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci and more! Whatever you are in need of, you can almost certainly find it in Chadstone; they cover most popular brands, as well as a few boutique concept stores. Now this place isn't just a fashion capital- it also has its fair share of practical stores. There are electrical stores, storage stores, game shops, chemists, joke shops and photography stores. Retail aside, Chadstone also offers many small cafes, 3 food courts, bowling, supermarkets, day spas and a Hoyts cinema. If you and your wallet are looking for a big day out, look no further! Free shuttle bus available from the city too! read more

The Cinema is being updated it won't reopen till 2016 which is a bummer it will be worth it though with an imax in the planning. There are so many food outlets there are 2 food courts & many restaurants so your not short of anything to choose from. read more

Instead of prison, they should just hand out sentences to people to drive around the suburb sized car park of Chadstone for an entire 24 hours. The trick would be to manage to find a car space at the most possible closest space to the front door several times an hour, or Even get a car park that isn't some 13 miles from the entry point in the first place. It's absolute bedlam here. To try and park without going into a misanthropic seizure of absolute rage and frustration at the inordinate amount of time it takes to find a space is a tall order. More so when there's fifty other cars competing for every space. Let's not for get the mind benignly confusing directions, as well as the 4 levels of car park hell, that are on some strange alignment, and when you attempt to meet friends, you are in the same spot but two different locations simultaneously. Then trying to exit the location from a different point then you entered and trying to figure out how the right direction to get back home, without a Melway or Gps. The end of the sentence would be a four hour shopping marathon where you wont be fed, and have to carry everything back to your car. The end result of which you will be stuffing about in the car park for several hours banked up behind a seemingly endless on slaught of cars, just to exit the place. But before you go, you have to do a lap of the surrounds and try to figure out just where exactly, on earth you are. Oh look, One star read more

With Macquarie Centre (or Macquazza if you're in the know) being heavily renovated I haven't been to a real shopping centre in months. Enter Chadstone. I have heard about this place for years, driven past numerous times when in Melbourne but never been in. Although I was excited to see my friend, I wasn't that excited about the shopping centre itself. Oh what a fool I have been. Chadstone Shops is actual magic. Everything here is a better class of shop. Better cafes, better brands, better people wondering around all day making you wonder if the unemployment rate is worse than they say. Everything here sparkles like a tween vampire. One drawback is that Melbourne transport isn't actually that great outside the city centre so if you're coming to Chaddy its drive, cab or the shuttle bus from Flinders St which only leaves at 10am and collects you at 3pm leaving you held hostage in "the Largest Shopping Centre in the Southern Hemisphere". Whatever. You wait till Mac Centre is finished Chaddy. Just you wait. read more

I really try to enjoy this place every time I go! But as I live in the city 1. I am the biggest city snob you'll know, so i much prefer small business over massive franchises anyday 2. It's not the easiest trying to get out there via public transport. So you can only imagine the fun I had bringing a vacuum cleaner that I bought from their back home. I received some Westfield gift vouchers to spend and had a hard time trying to find some cool stuff to buy, and spent it as shops like Kmart and Myers of which was nothing different to what I could of achieved in the city. However it is a really nice shopping centre! Massive and has sooo many shops, from your high end Paris end to your down town Brooklyn end! It's a good mix read more

Somewhere between the worst day of High School and Dante's seventh circle of hell you'll find a way to understand the abject horror and meaningless toil of Chadstone. Big, dumb and full of mass-prestige labels for big, dumb wallets, this is not so much a practical place for all your shopping needs but a way to spend a month of wages on a pair of Louboutins that really don't suit you. There's a handful of okay food shopping and some discount stores. But chiefly, this is a church for the tasteless and inexplicably affluent. read more

Chadstone Shopping Centre is the largest mall in the southern hemisphere and whether you love the place or hate it, that fact is still certainly something to be proud of. Personally, I find Chadstone a very useful commodity for consumers. ~ Coles and Woolworths for groceries. ~ JB Hi-Fi and Dick Smith for your electronics. ~ Fashion boutiques (what mall doesn't have these?!). ~ Loads of choices for food. ~ Its very own Hoyts for movie-goers. If there's a Zombie Apocalypse, I think I'm going to head straight to Chadstone, board myself in there, and use it as base camp. You'll never run out supplies - SMART! However, despite the usefulness of Chadstone, I'm still not really that impressed. I guess impressive architecture is fairly important to me - I don't want to go to a boring collection of stores that's purely convenient. If I come across a massive shopping mall such as Chadstone, my instant reaction would be that I want to go exploring. But there just isn't that much to explore. Honestly, I'd rather Melbourne Central any day, but 3 stars because Chadstone isn't bad - just not my particular cup of tea. Size does not necessarily directly translate into quality. read more

While its an amazing place to look at, I really dont feel that they have enough there to bring in the shoppers. "What do you mean by enough?" I hear you all ask! Well I feel that there are not quite enough specials in this shopping centre, and when there are specials they all seem to be marked up! Great to look at, not so great to shop. read more

For such a huge shopping centre with multiple carparks, it is still next to impossible to find a park on evenings and weekends, especially in the area near Woolworths. So you can imagine the stampede you'd be faced with leading up to Christmas! Their 24 hour shopping day is akin to a zombie apocalypse so if you are planning to drive, save yourself the headache and arrive after 2 am. Unless you enjoy swearing profusely and witnessing car park punch-ups. But aside from the parking issue, once you're in, it's fine and dandy! They have VIP nights throughout the year, with freebies and samples in some stores or eateries, so it's kinda fun in that way! Sometimes you get reality show 'celebs' (think X-factor, The Voice, etc) performing there for free, which is great if you are a fan. Join their A-List (fancy way of saying "mailing list") to get the scoop on VIP nights and discounts. read more

Great shopping centre. The place is massive. You can find anything you need here and more. Parking can be a nightmare Wear comfortable shoes as you will be doing a lot of walking. Bit there is plenty of nice places to stop and have a coffee or a bite to eat. A visit to chadstone is a must read more

One of the largest shopping center in Victoria. This is the place where your sense of direction put into test. Try to visit this place for the first time, without any help about any directions in the building. read more

There are more stores in this shopping centre than I need. Its not all about my needs. But if you need anything be sure to rely and expect to find the best stores in this shopping centre. If you are wondering what is it that they have. Well go and check it out. I am not going to tell you. OK! OK! I will tell you a few that I remember is Nike, Adidas, Apple Store, Myer, Zarra, Oxfod, yd, Kmat, Pappa Rich, Noodle Box, Hoyts Cinemas heaps more that I don't have the time to tell you about it. read more

All my friends and colleagues love Chadstone! I know why they do now... If you don't mind being on your feet for a whole day and doing a fair bit of walking, then you're gonna love it.. Otherwise, don't even think about it or do visit but book yourself in for a myotherapy session the next day! Chaddy (as they call it!) has literally everything - from Computers & Electronics: Apple (I love Apple!), JB Hifi, Dick Smith to fashion retailers (it is after all the fashion capital of the world): Armani Exchange, FCUK, Armani Jeans, Ben Sherman, Super Dry, Bossini, Burberry, CK to name a few..... Various eateries: Burger Edge, Wagamama, Salsas, Sushi Izakaya, Jones the Grocer, Laurent and heaps more; banks: BankWest, HSBC etc... Hoyts CInemas and plenty more. I was not that impressed with the layout before but, since it's been renovated, it looks pretty good now. The only downsides that I can think of really are that it's quite a fair way out of the CBD and the only way to get there is by car of by bus. You could take the train to Hughesdale station but you'd have to walk about 15 mins. It'll take you some time trying to find a car park as well as it's generally so busy all the time. It's worth the trip though and a definite must if you've got friends or family visiting from overseas. read more

my cousins took me here because it's "the largest shopping centre in the southern hemisphere"...just so i can say i've been there S.: that's not hard, considering there's only africa and south america to compete with HAHAHA! alright~ with that said size//***** this thing was definitely quite big, but hands down only about the size of a random mall in Shanghai or the one at the chunnel exit in France stores//** not anything i remembered or would buy, but that's also because most of the stores carried at the shopping centres have comparable alternatives elsewhere read more

I think some shopping centres are just too big and maybe Chadstone is one of them. It's renowned for it's amazing shopping selection and fair enough, it's good. Chadstone us where you go if you want to go shopping in Melbourne, right? Certainly ever since I can remember anyway. Not really. You can find all these stores anywhere around Melbourne generally, it's just they're all in the ones spot here and that's what makes it good! Plus there's a huge Apple store and we all love Apple don't we? Can't live without it. Chaddy is a little out of my way, especially not driving...but if you want it all in one spot, Chaddy's your man. Have fun shopping, buy me something nice won't you? It's just been my birthday and I didn't get any presents. Thank you. read more

I really don't like shopping at Chadstone. In fact, since it expanded to mean that spending an afternoon at the shops now means planning ahead and bringing a sherpa, I've liked it even less than I used to. I think it's a combination of the halogen lighting (I'm a fan of natural light) and the endless stream of impersonal shops all designed for mass consumption and instant gratification. I'm not opposed to these in principle (for instance, I don't sit around at parties and wax lyrical on the slow destruction of society through capitalism). Yet something about the large numbers of people wandering aimlessly through such a large constructed reality designed entirely to take one's money away from them in exchange for goods that will help a person conform into a standard is quite disturbing. Orwellian even. After the Christmas rush and the Boxing Day sales, I vowed to avoid the centre like the plague. Admittedly I haven't been so successful (it does have a Lord of The Fries, after all), so I have instead maintained a polite distance akin to when your friend has a rather strange fungus growing on their face. read more

Chadstone Shopping Centre - Shopping Centers Near Me - Chadstone, VIC

I must admit, I cringe a little to say this, but shopping mecca Chadstone, one of the biggest complexes in the southern hempisphere, is one of, nay, probably my FAVOURITE place to shop in Melbourne. It just has everything, literally everything you could imagine. If I wake up on Saturday morning facing an impending dress crisis and have absolutely nothing to wear, 99 per cent of the time I will find something perfect, at a reasonable price, at Chadstone. A couple of years ago they did a big renovation and incorporated high end stores like Chanel, Coach and Jimmy Choo, and although they are nice to window-shop, I still favour Myer, Sportsgirl and Forever New, all of which offer super-affordable clothes as well as a huge range. The food offerings here OK but MOST IMPORTANTLY you can always get a park- except maybe on Christmas, when the whole world goes collectively insane and a buying frenzy ensues. Try to avoid on a rainy Saturday though- the crowd crush is just too much even for a die-hard like myself. read more

Chadstone was my Mecca as a 15-year-old. I'd spend hours here just generally "hanging out" and buying low quality chain store clothes and snacking on sushi and Boost Juice. I know have an intense aversion to shopping malls. I find them depressing and sterile and the ultimate way to suck the hours out of the day. However, Chadstone does have it all and there is something to be said about the convenience of one stop shopping. read more

I'm naturally averse to big shopping centres. Despite the ease of having almost everything you need in one location they are so generic and uninteresting as to make shopping even more of a chore than it already is. My experience at Chadstone on the other hand was only positive. Shopping on a Sunday afternoon isn't my idea of fun but Chadstone wasn't overly crowded, most of the stores were open and there were some absolute bargains. Melbourne's always been well known for its shopping, but some of the deals at Chadstone were amazing, probably helped by the fact the retail sector is really struggling at the moment. I picked up a suit for 50% and got 75% off a leather jacket. I also met one of the friendliest people ever at the cobbler-type store in the middle of the mall area on the lower floor called Mike's multi service shop which is a family-run business that started in Perth. The guy put a few extra holes in my belt for free and was just a crackin fella so he deserves this shameless plug. read more

The three stars are for the range of stores (including some specialty food counters) and for the public transit. I can knock out a visit to Target, Coles, KMart, and JB HiFi all in one fell swoop. Plus, I can take the bus. It is crowded with teenagers, like all shopping centers and the shops are all the same - pretty boring. But, the convenience, especially as the only person in Melbourne without a car, sometimes wins out. And with 10 different bus routes plus a shuttle from the City, it has convenience in spades. read more

The day after chadstone's VIP day is probably not the best day to plan a major spree here. A number of shops had run out of sizes. Staff seemed a little lack lustre. read more

Good place to go for high end stores such as: Gucci, Tiffiny and Co, Balenciaga, Chanel, etc. It also has the essential stores such as H&M, Zara, and Uniqlo. Above all else the one stand out quality of Chadstone is the architecture and design, one word: Luxury. read more

Chaddy is the shiz. I love indoor shopping centres and once you sell your soul for a car park and get inside, there's so much to do. I think most people could find shops here to suit their tastes and budgets. There's even a pet store for your fur friends. Once you're done shopping, there's a food court and a couple of other fancier restaurants to get your grub on. You can go bowling or watch a movie. Literally, you could spend all day here having fun and frankly you'd want to to justify the whole car park thing. The centre itself is bright, clean and quite swanky (especially compared to Fountain Gate, Southland etc). Can't wait to go back. read more

Unless you go to the shopping center early you will just drive around looking for a car space I once went there around midday and tried to find a car space after 10 minutes I decide to give up and it took me another 30 minutes to get back on dandenong rd absolutely horrible read more

Great range of shops, massive complex! Always clean and tidy. This is what all shopping centres should be like. Lots of 'top of the range' high quality stores and big brands. Only problem is that during x-mas and boxing day it is too popular and you will have trouble finding a parking spot. read more

The new chadstone is a wonderful building. My wife loves walking around in those beautiful space. Excellent restaurants and all major brands are in there and she is not required to travel to city anymore. read more

personally i don't like it... but it is the biggest shopping centre in the southern hemisphere (so they say)... it's got most things that you want in a shopping centre apart from enough car parks... on certain days sometimes it can take forever to find a space... this is probably one of the biggest reason why i don't like chandstone... who really wants to spend more time looking for a car park than being inside the centre it self (yes i know first world problems :).. if your looking for expensive designer crap then you'll find them here but if your looking for cheap china made things as well then you will also find them here... as i said at the start it's got most of what you want from a shopping centre... read more

Chadstone is a fairly nice place. Can be quiet, can be busy, depending on what level you're shopping at. I personally like it, except for the parking which can not be a good experience when searching for a spot. Overall good however. read more
