As someone who lives on the coast, Erina Fair is the best shopping centre by far because it has…read moreentertainment venues like Movie Theatres and Arcades as well as food places like McDonald's and Grill'd And the shop selection is good including smaller stores and mainly larger ones like Big W, Woolworths and Kmart. They have service kiosks scattered around the centre to help you locate stores. and while prices are pretty much the same everywhere else it is still good, especially the Kmart clearance items. Also if you are driving past then there is another McDonald's and KFC outside of the centre with a drive thru.

This cafe is really good - not as great as Green Tangerine, which is a cross the road - but still…read morequite good. The food here is the drawing card. The menu is awesome! And the best part is they are willing to add and change anything. All the picky eaters were extremely happy. We came here for breakfast/brunch and it was awesome. The staff here are friendly. But a warning the food does come out slowly - we waited a fair bit for the food. The staff were apologetic , as it was crowded, so that was easily forgiven. Sadly, the coffee is not as good as the food. It was alright, but honestly nothing special. If you are coming to eat here order the juice - that was amazing! They have different juice cocktails all as good as each other. Just a warning, this is not a well kept secret - everyone comes here. So it is crowded and busy most of the times, so be prepared to wait for a seat and then your food. However, it is popular for a reason.

I still don't get why this place is popular. I gave it a chance twice and I let down both times…read more Food is over priced for what it is. Staff are hopeless, they literally have no idea what they are doing and when you ask them for your coffee they act like you are inconvenience even though you've asked 3 times in an hour where the coffee is. Yes, we waited an hour for a coffee as we also had ordered food which was pretty shit as well. After the last visit, I won't be back. I always tell friends to steer clear.

Absolutely beautiful and fabulous! The gardens are just breathtaking and they have a cafe and a…read moretasting room with all their delicious liquors that are made on site in the distillery. 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.

No stores at the Westfields in Paramatta or in other stores had a rash guard that fit me. One…read morestore next door said they didn't have them yet as summer wasn;t in full swing yet. This lady was so cool though. She still had them bagged up and pulled them out for me, along with some stunning surf hoodies. Pricey, as I paid $50 for the rashie and $100 for the hoodie/jumper. But the style was prety cool, so I had to have them. Great service too!

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!

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.

The real bonus is that the stock makes it easy to do so.

A major plus is the shop supports local schools too. In short, a great shop!
