Stockland Shopping Centre Shellharbour

Having watched this shoppers Mecca change over a 23 year period, words almost fail me.
Now with everything you need set out over a mind blowing layout, Stockland Shellharbour has the top spot, in my eyes, for the hottest place to shop on the South Coast.
With a food court that has all the stops pulled out, every conceivable want of any fashionista covered, 2 Money Exchange counters (though I’ve only ever seen one), two of the major supermarkets, a medical centre, and a gym; you’re bound to leave Stockland Shellharbour with an empty wallet, a smile on your face, and slightly exhausted due to its vastness in size.

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