This is one of the bigger malls in the Shellharbour/Illawarra area with over 200 stores. 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.

Wow! Absolutely brillant!…read more I used Laurel Tree Hampers & Gifts this festive season for gifts for my friends. I had 12 gift hampers that I ordered from them. I've never used a hamper company before, and Laurel Tree Hampers & Gifts didn't disappoint. There personal customer service far exceeded my expectations. From the moment you place the order to the moment it's delivered, communication is constant and very open. At this time of year, Christmas deliveries can be on time, late or not delivered at all. All of my gift hampers were delivered the day I requested and at the time I requested, which is no small feat considering it's the week of Christmas. They didn't let me down and can I say that the decorations on the gift hampers was totally awesome! I was absolutely stunned when photos were sent to me showing me the decorations and themes that were used to present the gift hampers to my friends. I highly recommend using Laurel Tree Hampers & Gifts for your gifting needs. They are amazing, totally professional and are very unique in their presentation of the gift hampers. They are not like everyone else. S. Palmer Wollongong

My…read moreRainbow vacuum cleaner is 18 years old and the wheels on the dolly were degrading and breaking down. Within minutes of phoning him he identified via exchange of photos what I needed. He didn't pressure me to trade in. A replacement dolly was delivered from him in Wollongong to me in Queensland 2 days later, with the filter I also needed. He wisely asked me about this and it seems it was one maintenance task I had overlooked ! He text and spoke to me several times and went out of his way to ensure I had the correct products. I am looking forward to vacuuming with the added boost a new filter will provide. His manner was polite and enquiring and friendly.

This is a fairly small mall right next to Princes Highway which can make getting there a bit tricky…read moreif you are on the highway. The parking lot is a bit strange with narrow roads and many one-ways. There is a bridge to cross over the Highway so that you can then enter the Highway (depends on which direction you are heading). The two main anchor tenants will be Wooworths for your grocery and a 24 hour K-Mart for affordable basic necessities. Food wise, there is no real food court but it does have a few food stalls with tables and chairs in the middle of the walk way. Besides donuts, coffee, juice and yogurt, you can also get burgers (Oporto) and subs (Subway) and some sushi. We made a pit stop here for food but the selection is too limited for us. This will be a mall for those who live nearby or those who need to have a toilet break from traveling on the highway or to get a quick bite.

The setting is pretty very rustic and good light. Not any views being so close to the beach so if you wanted a view better to order takeaway food from somewhere else and take it to the beach. The burger I had was good and very big but for $14 I would have expected something else even a couple of chips as a side. You can't actually order any sides with your meal. They also offer a small yum cha menu which doesn't really suit the cafe. Staff seemed friendly and the waitresses looked like they worked hard but easy when you have to order at the counter and then take a number to your table. Expensive drinks $8 for a glass of Villa Maria especially when you can buy a bottle for $9.40 at Dan Murphys! But when your baby free you take advantage of being able to have a drink .
