Great club for adults and kids. Even though the sign says hotel, it's not what Americans think of…read moreas a hotel since they don't let rooms. There's a sports bar and function rooms for events. There's a playground for kids that's divided so littles don't get trampled by biggies. There's a club area where no kids go, adults only. The bar has mostly the usual libations. During school holidays there are special activities for kids. I had pulled pork tacos, which I really liked. Not sure what was in the dish, but it was tasty. We also shared fried calamari, a dish I wouldn't order but tried. The crispy coating is what made it so good and it wasn't rubbery. The other adults had fried barramundi, which was a bit greasy. The youngster had chicken nuggets and chips, which looked like it usually does. All in all, a fun family experience.

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.

Pittwater Place always feels empty to me, and I can't put my finger on why. There's a range of…read moreshops that attract foot traffic, an extremely popular gym and several nearby bus stops. But still, that empty feeling... perhaps it's just that it's not as ridiculously busy as the neighbouring Mona Vale Hotel. Empty feeling or no, Pittwater Place has some serious players of the Australian retail industry - Coles, Coffee Club, Fitness First, Bakers Delight and Boost Juice all call the one-level shopping centre home. It also has a range of speciality stores that provide the area with fresh seafood, sushi and haircuts. As all good shopping centres do, Pittwater Place also has a bottle shop attached. Strangely enough, there is also a ski gear outlet... With three hours free parking and a convenient bus service, Pittwater Place is a good place to get your essentials.

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. All the buses go past from the Ryde area to the beaches. It is a clean and friendly place. It is busier during the morning and mid afternoon. Most shops close at 4.30pm so it doesn't stay open late.

There's something vaguely nostalgic about an outdoor shopping arcade, in contrast to the monolithic…read moreglass complexes that now dominate the world of consumerism. In a world of that, The Forestville Centre is a bastion of olde-worlde charm.. sort of. It's a grouping of shops in the local area, with a strange distribution - three dentists? Really? But you can find most things you'd need to run to the shops for there - chemists, dentists, cafes, Coles, a bottle shop and yes, three different dentists. Most of the affiliated businesses are small and locally owned, adding to the overall non-mall like vibe of the place; Coles being the obvious exception, as well as Vintage Cellors and Michels Patisserie. This is added to by the friendliness of everyone - many of the business owners are on first-name basis with their customers, and you can't help but notice the amount of people saying hi to each other in the arcade.

There's still some shiny brand-new factor about this place, so do what i did and shoot in early, where you can jag a park without driving around for hours building up monumental amounts of road rage, and cruise around the shops at your leisure before critical mass builds up and the great unwashed sweep in to pick it clean. And inside? It's big, and shiny, with all the brands you know and love and want in a shopping centre, and a bunch of pretty new foreign exchange students - what up Zara, Uniqlo, H&M, how YOU doin?

Once upon a time, the Forest area had two great shopping centres - Forest Way Shopping Centre, and…read moreGlenrose Shopping Centre. Now that Glenrose is all but shut for renovations, Forest Way has emerged victorious from this age-old battle, if only by default. Forest Way is a large suburban shopping centre with many of the major players well represented; Woolworths, Flight Centre, Liquorland, McDonalds, Gloria Jeans and Franklins all get a look in. As what has been called a raging communist, I prefer to support locally-owned businesses - and Forest Way Shopping Centre has them in abundance too. Fancy a pet? A haircut? A dress? A coffee? A piece of fruit? All of these products are readily available from independent retailers throughout Forest Way. The opening hours are pretty standard, although Forest Way has one major convenience that others perhaps lack - a transport interchange. All buses to and from the area go through here. However, this has led to one major inconvenience for shoppers and commuters alike; a lack of parking. Despite the extensive car park, I can rarely find a spot to leave my car while I grab my dry cleaning or (more realistically) wander into McDonalds with a raging hangover. But the closure of Glenrose has left Forest residents with little choice - if you want to eat/get a haircut/clean your clothes/see KindiFarm/book a flight, you must suffer the indignity of driving around for forty minutes looking for a park. Not happy, jan!
