This is particularly the case with the walkway from the station, which provides easy access to the facility. It is also rather easy to navigate, which is also quite beneficial.

The place is quite extensive and has two very large buildings that are over two blocks. The pace wasn't too bad today and although I did get lost and became disorientated when I left from a different exit I still managed to buy a bargain. I love the after Christmas sales and yes they still exist on the 9th January! Watch where you park. There are several entry points for the complex and parking ranges for free parking from thirty minutes, to two hours to three hours. I always head straight to the top and make my way down (a good principle in life...although you have to be careful on whom you tread on the ladder on the way up as you might come across them on the way down! ha) Yes this is a great shopping centre.

Was searching for Apple store and chanced upon this shopping district…read more Parking was easy and it was free as there wasn't any parking meters or parking tickets to be hassled with. While strolling around, noticed that there is a cinema on site which had a few arcade games (time crisis, racing games), a store where they carries snacks & beverages as well as a small "cafe". I also noticed a food court and where it had a range of takeaways/dining options ranging from western food to asian fast foods. Tried sushiya and it was delicious. There are quite a range of departmental stores here. Decided to make a visit to Target to get "Bobble" water bottle and realized that this target is much bigger in size and range to what the Parramatta one has to offer. Service was friendly too. Walked up and down the whole three levels to see what other things the stores carry and there are quite a few gifts stores around and some other electronics related stores. There are two kinds of escalators here - one of which pushcarts could be used or the normal escalator. Service was also considerably well at the stores I visited. You could find a range of vending machines or slot-in coins for toys machines here. There are also a few cafes where you could sit and enjoy the atmosphere. Do make a visit if you are around.

This is a giant mall! At the pace I walk, it would take all day for me to see everything. It looks…read morelike it was built in phases over time because there are so many different design themes. It has more than 350 stores and services including grocers, bookshops, lots of coffee shops, clothing stores, home stores, shoe stores and much, much more. 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.

The development on this old shell took a while, but this place is starting to take shape. With a…read moreKmart, Aldi and a Woolies, as well as a fresh market and fish shop, it's a one-stop shop for weekly groceries. There are also a heap of ready made food outlets, Bread Top, Donut King and sushi, and also several cafes including a gozleme shop!!! (Which is also excellent) The food outlets have all opened in the last couple of months and there is a surprising range. There's also a $2 shop, nail salon, dentist, acupuncture place and Priceline. There is a Chinese grocer upstairs and I think the old Spotlight might still be there too. The reason the 5th star is missing from this review is the fruit n veg market. That place lacks a distinct standard of quality that Sydney Siders are used to, and frankly the fruit and veg there is appalling. I'm surprised it's survived and it really is the missing link in what would otherwise be the best shopping centre from Parra to Burwood - and it's quiet enough to always get a park (unlike the other 2 Westfields). Amazingly close for residents of Newington and SOP.

This is the nearest shopping centre to my work and I am pleased it is here. I have had the pleasure of having students work in one of the fast chain food outlets that he did very well at.

If it isn't too hot go up to the sail covered parking area and there is normally a spot. The major feature of this shopping centre is IKEA. Yep love IKEA! I just don't like putting their furniture together...some people are made to solve puzzles, but not this little duck. ha There are a good range of other shops in the centre and there is plenty of wide isles and access for people needing assistance. The elevators are very large and there are ramps with a slight gradient. Target is the major department store and there is a large fruit/vegetable shop near a major supermarket. Bing Lee also features! Reading Theatres are surrounded by an excellent food court and a number of good varied restaurants. Several good coffee shops are throughout the centre with reasonable prices. The shopping centre is in walking distance to Rhodes Station. It is in walking distance to Meadowbank (half an hour) over the old historical train bridge, which is a lovely sight in itself.

It only consists of 2 levels of retail space but I think its perfect. If you want Myer you can drive up to Top Ryde or there is always Westfields Parramatta if you want something bigger. Food court located on the end with the Cinemas or you can try some great sushi at Tomodachi.

Parking is…read morequite easy (covered and outdoor parking) and there are parking spaces nearer the mall which have a 3 hour time limit on it, the rest will be for as long as you need. Parking is still free which is useful. You get a good mix of fashion retail shops, food, supermarket and departmental stores. While the mall hours are the usual 9am to 5pm or thereabouts, the supermarkets (Coles and Woolworths) and Target and K-Mart open earlier and close later at 10pm. I must confess I shop more at Target, K-Mart and supermarkets because of the hours. There is also a fish market which sells a large variety of fresh fish and seafood like lobster, crabs, prawns, oysters etc. The prices for raw oysters are also much lower than you will get in Sydney city. I love the coffee emporium which does a good coffee and hot chocolate and pastries. Simply perfect for a pick me up. The place is huge and does not feel claustrophobic crowded even when there are many people on a weekend. This is a decent mall with almost everything you need.

STOCKLAND SHELLHARBOUR - 211 Lake Entrance Rd, Shellharbour NSW 2529 (AUSTRALIA)…read more Why shop at Stockland Shellharbour? It has everything at the one location and under the one roof. Not only do they have major stores like Myer, Target, Kmart, Best & Less and two major supermarkets Coles and Woolworths, they also have over 250 specialty stores! If you can't find what you're looking for here, then you won't be able to anywhere else. What is more inviting is that they have over 3000 outdoor and indoor FREE parking spaces for your convenience - you can't beat that! People near and far travel here because of the FREE parking. What impressed me the most, but only discovered it by luck really? They have thought ahead into the future, not only do they have solar panels and wind turbines, to reduce their carbon footprint, they have also installed FREE Electric Car ChargePoints! Yes... you read it correctly! I only discovered this hidden treasure during one of their busy times (their busiest times are during the festive seasons or public holidays) when I couldn't find an indoor parking, so I drove to the 'Level 5 Rooftop' car park. And there it was, four Electric Car ChargePoints - side-by-side for those who have electric cars. To make your shopping experience a lot more pleasurable, people with toddlers, may hire 'Kidz Kabs for FREE. For the adults who are disadvantaged with mobility, they too can hire Motorised Scooters or Wheelchairs for FREE as well. Just go to 'Customer Care' to hire one for the day. Of course after a full day of shopping, you would like to wind down, there are so many places you can do that and refuel at the same time. For those with children, try 'The Coffee Club' (located on Level 1) or 'Fibonacci Coffee' (located on Ground Level). Children will be busy entertaining themselves while playing at 'My Funland' area you can have that deserved break while watching them at the same time. Service? Unbeatable! With friendly, knowledgeable people and friendly service to go with their smiles! The latest addition (September 2016) at Stockland Shellharbour is this amazing 20 metre high mural completed by two artists - Claire Foxton and Mikey Freedom. They have brought colour to this place. Their mural is to represent the region, people and lifestyle - I believe they delivered just that. And just behind this amazing mural is the new additional dining precinct. Grill'd - must taste their amazing burgers, they cater for the vegetarians and meat eaters. I highly recommend you try their hot chips - don't know which one to choose? Why not try 'Chips Share Plate' where you get to have the potato, sweet potato and zucchini chips served with three chip dips - sweet chilli mayo, hot chilli mayo and herbed mayo. Then there's Lone Star Rib House where you can sink your teeth into mighty tasty steaks and ribs - so succulent and tender! Now I am waiting for the opening of Chong Co Thai Restaurant sometime in October - I cannot comment on their food but I'm pretty sure this new addition to the food precinct won't be a disappointment.
