Most of you need perhaps you could find in here. Heaps of parking areas. Bus were come and go for those who are commuters. Even though you don't plan to buy something, just window shopping and some have variety of cup of coffees or teas could complete your day for those who are extrovert just wanted to stroll
Loving the new arcade games at Jago town. It's the best place for the kids, the staff are lovely and the coffee is great
One of the better shopping centers. Loads of free parking and a good variety of shops.nnOnly draw backs are the fact it's always busy and if it's raining there is a lot of uncovered ground between most of the larger shops.nnBut generally my first pick for Christmas and birthday shopping.
The Base with its many outdoor shops and eateries is a plentiful feast for shoppers; however, the onsite indoor shopping mall Te Awa is my favourite. A hub of activity on the weekends and surprisingly quiet on any given weekday before 3pm especially on Mondays lends towards a slower pace and a pleasant experience. At times quiet enough to roll bouncy balls down and not collide with anyone.nnThe food court is reminiscent of a camp canteen; loud with conversation but filled with quiet thoughts. People vying for the their favourites from the golden arches to KFC and Pita Pit to Shamiana; there is something for everyone. The best place to get a hot beverage is Dunkin' Donuts...why? their drinks are hot not cool or lukewarm but hot, well priced and the customer is very good but the added bonus is the scrumptious, delectable and addicting donuts at under $4 they are the cheapest snack you can get unless you like $6-$8 muffins. They offer a great deals including a medium hot drink and two donuts for under $11. The food court is open late on Thursday and Friday nights.nnTe Awa boasts Jago Town an indoor play centre for kids which hosts birthday parties.nnA big welcome to JB Hi-Fi we are glad you finally made it. Awesome store!nnHoyts with its Hoyts Xtremescreen cinema for extra large viewing, a Hoyts D-Box cinema with motion recliners, 3D capable cinemas and a Hoyts Lux with an option of special dining and drinks with comfy recliners but it comes with an over the top price tag so maybe opt for it on date night or for really long movies. Don't let the websites photo's lull you in unfortunately all the cinemas on offer do need some loving attention and visible staff. The range of cinemas or the excessively expensive food with $10 candyfloss and over $5 a bottle water is not the best thing on offer. Lower your expectations. The best thing about Hoyts is the view out their windows. It's a very quiet place during the day and it's FREE.nnAn array of stores are on offer in Te Awa including Farmers Department Store, Huffer, Typo, Cotton On, Glassons and Just Jeans but you can find North Beach, Lovisa, Mr Minit, Smiggle and countless jewellery chain stores and beauty parlors just to name a few.nnPop in and take a stroll through, enjoy a hot or cold cuppa and a donut, see a movie or just come in from the cold and rain. Te Awa has something for everyone under a canopy of natural light and where time does not exist because clocks like Las Vegas aren't a fixed feature. Having fewer items that remind you how long you’ve been in the store gets people to shop for longer periods of time.nnIf you are wanting to expand your shopping experience while getting some exercise have a gander around The Base which brims over with countless big stores such as Chemist Warehouse, The Warehouse, Crackerjack, EB Games, Mitre10 Mega, Rebel sport and Adairs plus multiple banks, coffee chain stores, Burger Fuel, New Save Supermarket, Nando's and Subway to name more than half a dozen.nnBe warned! On weekends go as early or as late as possible to avoid the rudeness of some shoppers relentlessly looking for a car park and the heaving thong of people walking aimlessly. The walkways with overhead shelter do not functions as such but lean towards a design fail and cosy nests for cute birds who have figured out when it's best to come out and when to stay home. A cautionary tale.nnEnjoy!
Only place my bank has a branch now and it's a drive across town not handy and with security scanning number plates your privacy is not that great. Also I brought a swandry which got a hole in the arm pretty quickly I thought for $350 it would last longer however had a great time here at a movie and buying a pair of DC shoes at a great price and same with buying my cousin a pair of birthday Nike shoes.
