Yep, another one of those ridiculously massive Sydney shopping centres, that also happens to be quite close to the railway station. It is quite well set up though and a pleasure to explore. 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. Sure, I'm not really a big fan of shopping centres, but this one was rather nice. read more

All the old favourites are here: ranging from supermarkets, department stores, to fashion shops, beauty salons and eateries. 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. read more

Westfield Hornsby - The Hornsby Water Sculpture in front of the Westfield buildings. - Shopping Centers Near Me - Hornsby, NSW

A Westfield is a Westfield is a Westfield. That's the thing about shopping malls. But while Westfield Hornsby definitely doesn't have the glam factor of Bondi, or the merchandise of Chatswood, it's still a very convenient place to shop for those on the upper north shore. This centre is mercifully filled with voids, flooding the floors with a light and breezy atmosphere. This is echoed in the glass walkway that joins the two competing sides of the mall: the 'commercial' Myer side and the 'high end' DJs side. The DJs side boasts the new Apple Store, as well as fashion stores like Country Road, Sportscraft and Esprit. But the Myer side gets the foodcourt and the cinema, so chances are you'll traverse both. Westfield Hornsby also has two parking garages, and is usefully located right on Hornsby station, so access isn't a problem - if you can avoid all those north shore mums in their station wagons that is! read more

What can you say about a Westfield...? It has all the shops that you would expect. Plenty of parking... a movie theatre... banks....food courts... and um... Westfield stuff... The big point of interest at this Westfield is the fountain, which was meant to be a massive attraction, and instead turned into a sometimes working, bloody expensive water feature. Anyways, like the staples on your grocery list... this Westfield is not going to shock and amaze you... but it probably has what you need. read more

Typical Westfield shopping centre with almost anything that you can find here. It is a bit confusing for first time visitors because you have the centres in separate buildings. Nice clock fountain out in the middle if you just want to relax in the sun. There seems to be more crowded nowadays since they are building more apartments around the area. read more

Dawdlers unite! Dr Elbows has arrived! === xmas review === Like a UFC fighter launching into a lethal finishing maneouver, I assaulted the Westfield Shopping Centre at Hornsby. Look, there's dawdlers in any shopping centre, but you tend to really notice them in this Westfield, at this time of year, because you have only two small aisles and all the centre space is filled in with pop-up type shops (you know the ones, watch repair, nuts and confectionary, servo sunnies, the iphone/ipod scam screen places, and uber crappy jewellery). Forget Xmas! The dawdlers descend on this place in their droves and it becomes Xmash. They all come out of the woodwork, and leisurely stroll, block escalators, stairwells and walkways, and have the most inane conversations about daily minutiae - all the while totally oblivious to the spatially aware world that the rest of us live in. One woman was having an exhilirating conversation about socks with her young son, right in front of the escalator, unconcerned that the rest of us might want to use it. When I gestured politely for her to move, she said, in an abrupt tone "Sorry!". Lady, just get out of my way, before I *make* you get out of my way. If this was the law of the jungle I would've snapped your neck already and be thumping my chest as I scout out my next meal/victim. I made the Double-Whopper-with-every-extra mistake of entering JB-Hi-Fi. Dan you absolute Eff-Tard. Yes, I know. Trying to get into the store itself is hard enough, with two burly bouncers blocking the entry and those tiny little pylon thingies you have to walk between... you know, just in case you decide to "lift" an 80" plasma and just walk right out with it. The line to purchase snaked its way around the cattle pen queue and then down an entire aisle of HBO TV Series... and you know they still only had Becky and Dwayne on the checkout, meanwhile the other 15 staff were talking to the one bloke who has the unenviable decision of whether to get the $25.95 Apple branded iphone charger or the $24.95 Belkin one. Always a tough one, I don't blame ya pal. I literally walked in, saw the epic lines, zero staff, and people at every single piece of equipment and I turned to exit... Uh uh, that ain't happening, you couldn't retreat 3 paces to get the eff outta dodge, you had to wend your way around the entire store, past scores of little brats let off the leash and rubbing their chocolate laden fingers all over everything their grubby mitts could touch; past pops staring dully at Rumpole of the Bailey DVDs reminiscing and wishing he had enough to buy the box set; past groups of male tweenys, wondering how to walk out with Biebs and Swifty without paying; and past that one couple, you know the one where the missus is piping up full volume, so all can hear, about their favourite girlier-than-girly TV show, and the guy, gruffer than a Hells Angel bikie, stands there totally emasculated bobbit-style, his head buried in his hands as everyone around realises he's an absolute nancy. Yeah... so glad I came here... Such was the nature of my xmash shopping experience here, that I cannot wait till next year, I'm marking down the days left in the calendar... Only 360 to go... it's Michael Hill Jewellers style... Just around the corner. === the review proper ==== This is a weirdo Westfield because it has a left and right hemisphere, that operate independently of one another. The left hand side has all the razzle and dazzle, both supermarkets, the food court (with Kay Eff, Rotten Ronnies, Oporto and ur standard asisan fares), the cinema, Dan Murphys, Tommy Dux, Apple shop, fresh seafood place, Flight Centre and for the cash conscience kids your pals Kmart and Lowes. The right hand side is a bit of a lobotomy with all the "afterthought" shops, heck I can't even name any... Maybe Dick Smith is here? T2? Shingle Inn? The walkway that spans both and connects them together like an NaCl bridge, is where a little slice of magic happens. Berkelouw Books has broken free of the confines of its shop and spread like wandering dew into the walkway itself. You can now grab a coffee at Berkelouw and sit in one of the comfy leather chairs tucked into alcoves and surrounded by bookshelves outside the store. The bridge overlooks the Hornsby fountain on one side, and the grassy knoll on the other. The grassy space (I think it's astro turf) was put into place recently as a "green space". It has a couple of chairs, a couple of trees, and one of those inspirational word statue construct thingys... I think the word is *imagine*, with one of the "i's" missing... so clever... so bloody clever... All in all, this is a Westfields and it breeds familiarity despite it's attempts to be different. If you cannot find what you need here, then you are probably a bit of a style merchant, or just a total pansy. Certainly one of the two. read more

Nice shopping centre. Only thing missing is a Big W, but they have K-Mart, so that's not too bad. Parking usually easy too. Good food court and parking is generally easy unless you go on a Saturday morning when it's pretty hard at times. Pretty much a standard Westfield, but an enjoyable shopping experience and I like it. read more

The parking is either ok to bad but today it was terrible it took us over 30 minutes from getting into our car to driving out of car park . I even rang centre management from the car to advise them of the problem and I was advised that they were having issues with the other exit and would advise the car park staff the other exit also had problems. This was probably a flow on effect maybe they should of thought of that themselves! All in all a hard experience. read more
