Hi Team, Went to Casey's Store at Erina today, 31/12/25…read more Met, and Served by Kate, who was so very Nice, Professional, and Extremely Helpful! I cannot Praise her Style of Salesmanship enought. Kate, greeted us as we entered this Store, and as I did not know what I wanted, just that I wanted to Buy Gifts for my Two Bubby Grand Daughters. Aged 9 years and 11 Years. Kate proceeded to show me Numerous Toys, Craft, Games, and I was able to select Eight Items, which suited myself. And I hoped would Bring Joy to my Bubby Girls! My time with Kate, was so much fun for me, she really made this Experience Wonderful! I felt I had been Seen, Listened too, and Respected, and Kate has an Extremely Gentle, non Aggressive Style, to Sell Products. Kate, apparently, is Leaving your Employ on the 31/12/25, to work in the Taxation Department. Such a loss to your Company. But a real Asset for the Taxation Department. I wish Kate all the very best in her new Career. She is a Wonderful, Warm, Caring Female. I felt very Priveledged to have Met and been Served by Kate.

Casey's Toys is an enormous store with an excellent model section adjacent. Lots of dress ups for…read morelittle ones, frequent Lego displays and children's toys. They do have a board game section as well but it's stocked with the more popular games rather than niche games...maybe that's why I can't give this store full marks. Casey's Toys is definitely aimed at a younger audience and so stock wise leave a few holes in their market. Having said that they have lovely friendly staff, ok pricing and a lot of stock.

With books soon likely to go the way of analogue sound systems, film cameras and landline telephones it is important to encourage the last vestiges of what we used to have in every suburb - before Borders and Dymocks blew them away and the ate themselves up. So support your local bookshop (if you have one) & if you are in Umina this is a beauty. No job too tough for them.

As the other reviewers have noted, this is the last independent bookshop for kilometres around so…read moreif you value independent retail, Book Bazaar is worth supporting. The real bonus is that the stock makes it easy to do so. For our family, its main attraction is its excellent kids books, from illustrated story books to chapter books to YA fiction to a fantastic selection of manga. A major plus is the shop supports local schools too. In short, a great shop!

Now you know I love everything digital but I know we must keep books alive so support your local bookshops. I think they also have a store in Gosford.

You can't miss it the place has been painted bright red. I searched and searched but it seems this…read moreplace has no online presence. I stopped by here because the place was painted bright red, I HAD to see whatever it was they were selling. It's kind of a duplex layout. On entry is all the antique furniture and the other has all the second hand clothes. First off I went into the second hand clothes section. It had all great stuff, and very cheap. I got a few things and my sister got some great stuff as well. There were plenty of funky vintage clothes (at cheap prices) and some normal everyday second hand clothes. There are definitely bargains to be had here and some really great labels! I love the little knick knacks and statues scattered around the shop as well. I'm also obsessed with the art deco clock on the wall. I keep asking how much it is and each time they tell me it's not for sale. It will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine. Next I went into the antique furniture side. WOW. The furniture in there is just glorious. I was obsessed by these 3 Japanese paintings on wooden frames. I didn't have enough money to buy all three on the day, so saved up and went back the next week. 2 out of the three were sold! I was gutted, but it just goes to show how popular this place is. I will defintely be back, and this time I will get that clock!

Impressive, large, clean and modern. This is one mega shopping town. Most of the shops are on the…read moreground level and there is easy access to all the shops. Shops such as David Jones, Target, Just Jeans, Millers, Connor, etc and all the food outlets i:e: McDonalds, Oporto, Subway, Donut King etc and a variety of coffee shops are spread out through the centre. My head spins with the number of shoe shops. Not bad prices too! The centre is just off the motorway between Hornsby and Newcastle. It is the most obvious centre along the road and when you turn off it is less than 500 metres to the shopping complex. There is ample parking, some under cover. I always stop here. This is my Driver Revive Stop! Love to look at the bargains. It is a good break when driving to or from Sydney.

My favorite is the lemon Myrtle-so smooth and all you need is to either drink it chilled or with an ice cube. They have Happy Hour and you can purchase the items on site.

The gardens are very lush and it reminds you of an English garden in the country. I recommend you go into the Distillery and taste the samples of the liqueurs onsite. Whilst your in there ask the owner Phillip to give you a tour of where they make the liqueurs. Back in early March this year the Distillery was on Sydney Weekender and the liqueurs taste amazing and definitely a place to pop in on your way to Terrigal.
