Reviews of Avonhead Shopping Centre

J. T.

A wonderful book shop, clean disabled toilet and a nice wee cafe. Good compact little mall with a good variety of shops.

E. J.

As a Mall it's really good, although my favorite place is the friendly Kiwibank, with really helpful friendly staff, well stocked bookshop with lovely staff. Only problem is that in the mall people just don't watch where they are walking, strangest thing.

D. S.

Have not been to the shopping center but it has an NZ post office that does pretty much all the jobs a post office should do. A one stop shop.

K. C.

A nice little suburban shopping centre. Not a bad supermarket, I use it as a dairy.

Handy we mall with a great florist and great sushi place , easy to get a park

R. O.

This is a nice compact mall, I didn't do anything there this time but, I have been there before.

J. G.

Your friendly, local, convenient shopping centre. Post office, book shop, hairdressers, supermarket, sushi, pharmacy, pub/restaurant and more!

D. B.

The mall itself is getting a bit tired, but all the shops inside have great products and people! Worth a visit 😊

P. L.

This is fine shopping centre but sorry to say that if you take your car plz be fully insured. A lot of older people in cars don't look be hind them when backing. Crash.

Quick and easy shop. Good parking enroute from work.

A. C.

Small shopping mall. Showing its age, but the stores are good.

R. M.

Nice variety of stores. . .ample parking.

R. A.

Not much to draw you in. Could do with a revamp.. Thankfully it has stonebaked bakery and a great bookstore.

N. E.

countdown average fruit not checked sometimes rotting

T. S.

Limited options to burn your time, money and calories.

Only a very small mall but has the essentials such as Countdown supermarket, pharmacy, two hairdressing salons, bookshop, gift shop, cafe, bakery, supplement store, NZ post and bar amongst a couple more. Convenient for locals who don't want to travel all the way to a bigger crowded mall to pick up some essentials.

A. S.

My favourite shopping mall, people are very understanding, easy parking,

T. S.

Beautiful friendly an welcoming. First time I have been here clean warm and heaps of shops. Must go back again

k. i.

The Countdown at this mall is the best, the staff are lovely, particularly the bakery manager who has been super helpful arranging our ciabata order. Product is consistently good every time

C. E.

Handy wee mall with good parking and a post shop!

Got to love the cute little Avonhead Mall.

L. G.

Nice shopping centre. Not the biggest but has a lovely vibe.

A. H.

Small shopping centre and quite expensive

N. R.

Good store well set out. Nice and helpful staff. Good shopping experience.

M. “. A.

Definitely too small to visit and look for new things. People at the pharmacy and flower shop are not friendly. The bookshop is good and service at the post office is fast: They lift the mark. Countdown branch is not sufficient to complete a main shopping list. Good for ice-cream and biscuits, though.

A. M.

Honestly - home to the best rice balls in all of Christchurch!! Andrea's Florist is also really good and have picked up a few plants to add to the collection

m. g. R.

Awesome customer service as well

A. O.

Good small local shopping centre with a countdown, cafe, sushi shop, restaurant and bar. Think the bakery unfortunately isn't currently in operation. There is also a bookshop with post office, florist and pharmacy. Travel agent and women's fashion /dress shop also. Friendly service. Ample parking.

N. B.

I love the stores in here! I think the let down however is the countdown. It's small, not a lot of staff when it gets busy and limited stock of items that usually have multiple options. I find them to be rather expensive too. I'd love to see a big countdown go up in the area! My favorite cafe is here, check out my review for it!

Been awhile but I was pleasantly surprised

D. S.

A very small mall with a few specialty shop a great book shop and Countdown supermarket. Monteiths Bar is a great addition to the mall. Plenty of parking and a bus stop right out front.

A. R.

I love that it has a post shop inside the book shop. So convenient but it's missing a decent coffee shop! One that can be open to the hours of Countdown and not close at 6pm like the rest of the shops.

T. T.

Went here first time with workmates and was reli impressed at the bar we went to. Had such nice customer service, food was so good and great people.

K. I.

Its alright for a local shopping mall, but the range is very limited and theres even less incentive to go as subway has left

J. C.

Alright little shopping centre , Just a few shops but always had good service there

Great place especially if u have a green card

Staff at the Countdown are great, friendly and helpful. Post Office and Bookstore are good. Montieths is good for a quick lunch. Subway is always clean and service is quick. Pharmacy staff are excellent. A great little suburban mall with a good collection of businesses well worth a lunchtime browse

G. A.

The bookshop, Piccadilly, has a great range of books. Alas the bakery has closed. The supermarket is always busy. Has a good range of shops. Couple of cafes, two hairdressers, a chemist, Subway etc. toilet is tucked away down a long corridor.

J. P.

Excellent haircut! Went to Avonhead Shopping Mall yesterday and on spur of the moment decided to have my haircut, at Mr. Snips. And what a great haircut, best of my life! The hairdresser, Toni, was brilliant. She really did listen to the cut/style I wanted, and with a minimum of fuss created the haircut I've been waiting all my 52 years for! Thanks Toni-magnificent!

R. L.

A very small mall yet it packs in a number of great stores achieved by having an 'island' of shops.

R. f.

Not many shops but the sushi place near the countdown is amazing. Definately worth checking out if you love flowers, books, getting your hair cut, medicine and Sushi.

S. C.

Mini shopping mall. Small supermarket and pharmacy. Excellent bookshop with postal and banking services. Boutique style clothing shops. Florist and a handful of eateries. Excellent little bakery. Plenty of parking except immediately after school.

S. E. L.

Countdown is awesome. It offers free fruit for every child which is great and helpful to at least minimise cravings for sweet. Pharmacy is a okay. Postie is very handy. Staff are nice and friendly BUT the shops around are very expensive. And no $2 shop. I wish there's one.

L. T.

Good shopping mall.Has countdown.good variety&prices Of goods&service was friendly.

This place has failed to keep up with the times

R. B.

Small to medium sized mall. Pharmacy, Countdown and a Subway. Enough parking. Even a nice little pub to enjoy a beer.

S. B.

It's only a small mall, with a post shop in it , there is a nice book shop selling all sorts of knick knacks. Nice florist/gift shop as well not forgetting a small supermarket as well.

L. A. G.

A small, cozy shopping centre with original and stylish shops. There is a Countdown supermarket, book shop, two gift shops, post shop, hairdresser, cafe, travel agent and a Subway. Supermarket closes at 9 pm so very convenient fue a quick dash to the shops to top up.

C. G.

Not too busy. Car park fairly quiet but still awkward like most kiwi carparks.

j. f.

Excellent SUSHI BY COUNTDOWN ,GOOD PRICE AND NICE FOOD ..

M. A.

Small BUT with boutique shops. Great for gift buying. Don't think it is just a supermarket there. Great bookshop, post shop and chemist too. Love the baby sushi!

We'll set out shop and polite and helpful staff

M. I.

It is what it is, a dying mall just like anything that ain't a Westfield, retirement village mall, the Sushi shop is dope though! The sushi balls are on point and that's on my momma! BET
