There are times when you just need to relieve yourself, and when I find a shopping centre that has…read morethe facilities then I am going to give it points simply for that. However, the issue I had with this place was actually working out how to get it. In fact, I ended up walking around the entire complex (though it actually isn't all that big) before I found the entrance. Still, it was a godsend when I needed it.

Lots of big stores here (Big W - similar to Target in the States, Coles and Woolworth - grocery…read moreshopping). There are quite a variety of foods here too ranging from sushi to fast foods. Service for all the places I went earlier were quite fast and the people were friendly. There are cafes on site too as well as places to grab desserts. Located next to Travelodge Newcastle is definitely worth to drop by there. The best inclusion to this "two sided" shopping district/center is Yogurtland. A plus when the weather gets overwhelming hot like what I've experienced so far. At the grocery stores/ supermarkets you can find cheaper goods like buy 5 for $6 and saves $2. If you are here on business/travel and you need quick meals or necessities, do drop by here as they sell almost everything here. And stop by clearance corners at some of the bigger store departments.

I think their prices seem quite normal for the products they sell. And they do have some classy stuff. But take an extra 50-75% off and I am gonna walk in those doors! Maybe even buy something that I don't actually need or want. lol It's laid out in a very standard Myer type way. Easy to get around and find what you need. Most times there seems to be something for the kids to do just outside their doors.. especially during the school holidays so parents can take advantage of while they shop. I do find staff here to be more like cats... they don't mind to be petted on the odd occasion but will keep to themselves and just offer a glance.

Not seamlessly integrating the old layout with the new products. I did find a proper ice cream maker that I was unable to find at The Good Guys so that's a win!

After several visits I'm still trying to get my head around the layout. This was never my local pre…read morerenovations and now that it's even bigger I'm playing catch up. The variety of stores is worth it though with a modern finish and wide walkways I have come to expect from an updated centre. The Coles and Woolworths are massive and I love the convenience of both stores should one be out of stock. The restaurant precinct has plenty to offer. TGI Friday's, Lee's Kitchen, Burger Urge and Oliver Brown to name the few I've tried with Hong Kong Chef and Kinn Thai on the list next. The adjoining cafeteria has just as much to please every taste bud. Parking has been my gripe in the past but I have started using a different spot on the roof top which has been great. A few more trips and I can hopefully call myself a local.

Westfield Kotara is still undergoing its transformation but so far the addition of the rooftop dining and cinema precinct as well as the expansion on the second floor has me excited and I'm not the shopping type. I have yet to try Event Cinemas but I have delighted my tastebuds at Kinn Thai, San Churro, Lone Star, Crinitis.... most of the rooftop restaurants to be honest. It's a lovely space. Kmart has yet to reopen (est late Nov 2018) and Toys r Us is no longer. David Jones and Target are still the major retailers with plenty of other stores catering to all fashions, beauty and home. 3 hour free parking seems standard now with the new parking system recording your cars number plate. No more tickets. Sadly though I don't think much has been done to ease the congestion issues.
