Reviews of Eastgate
A.
It's handy having the shops of the Mall so close. One thing lacking in Eastgate is a decent hardware store. There's quite a lot at The Warehouse but nothing like a Mitre 10 or Bunnings. I'd even settle for a Hammer Hardware if I had to.
J.
Love all my memories with my Beautiful, Amazing, Stunning, Intelligent, Clever Darling Daughter's AND THE MANY MANY MANY MORE MEMORIES WE HAVE TO SHARE & MAKE TOGETHER AND I'M SOOOO PLEASED THAT MY MEMORIES WILL BE MADE WITH THE AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL AMAZING DAUGHTER'S I GAVE BIRTH TO ALL THOSE YEARS AGO.... I LOVE YOU SO SO SO SO MUCH MY BEAUTIFUL AMAZING MAMA XOXOXO
A.
Very seldom go here but needed to go to lincraft for some craft supplies.Not a lot here but it does have a few good places like the wharehouse,Countdown,Number one shoes,Bargain Chemist,Aquisitions and a few other shops.Food court is pretty average.Easy to get a park and rarely over crowded.
C.
I went there last thursday, it was like any other typical thursday for me. I woke up, fed the dogs, fed the wife, You know the ususal. While on my way to work, i saw the Green Glow of subway. I walked in and was greeted with a "Hey what can i get started for you" This is a reflief If i may say so. Compared To how the wife treats me, WOW. This is why i gave it 5 stars, due to that kind worker who has really made my week seem a little bit brighter.
J.
Good mall with everything you need. However could think of nicer places to have lunch. People super friendly and bathrooms kept clean
K.
A local mall to us and never had any issues just a couple of things that need to be looked in to is the road between the mall and carpark is in terrible condition the bus that travels through here needs to be re routed and the new kfc drive through is a awful design it needs changing as it has been backed up by so much customers that people exiting the mall have to drive on the wrong side of the road not ideal as this causes accidents and tension between people.
w.
Unfortunately since the earthquakes hasn't been the same, still alot of empty shops around mall, but still has some amazing shops to go and support
S.
Went there for the Sushi..found a great selection of retailers.
Big enough to be interesting without being crowded.
m.
brilliant shopping centre. I find the palms, Werstfield and Northlands far too busy and cluttered with people cant find a carpark, these fancy shopping centres are only for the rich people that buy fancy brands of items. people like me on a lower income find the warehouse has nice cloths for the the affordable price. Its a matter of choice for everyone.
C.
A small, easily accessible shopping centre cor of Linwood Ave and Buckleys Road. It now houses the Linwood library, medical Centre and a few other offices where the Farmers Department Store used to be. It has a Food Court which is quite popular with locals and visitors alike. Choice of dishes include Indian, Chinese, roast meals, fish and chips, soups, sushii coffee and hot drinks. The Mall houses the Warehouse, Countdown , Number one shoes, Pagani, Postie Plus, Max out, Pharmacy and a few others. It has toilets, Carpark, escalators and lifts.
S.
Easy to find with great parking!! Good selection of shops at reasonable prices. Food forecourt also has a good selection of both hot and cold foods. All the essentials like countdown, Westpac, warehouse, post office(back of paper plus) Toilets are clean and tidy. The mall as a whole is clean and tidy.
B.
Eastgate requires a new brand/image/identity As it serves a keystone landmark for the suburb of Linwood and its surrounding neighbors.
At this time, great for essential shopping. Not destination Shopping.
C.
The day I went to the mall we in were in level 3 lock down. And was only there to get my 1st vaccination jab. So it was pretty empty at that time.
M.
Perfectly serviceable suburban shopping mall. The world would probably be a better place of these shops were in New Brighton, but they aren't. So go here instead
c.
Variety of food in the food court good range of retail stores except for a bank
J.
Mostly catered to the older generation with its shops and cafes. The one decent vinyl shop is closed. Plenty of parking spaces.
P.
If anyone has read previous reviews of mine on shopping malls they'll know why I don't rate these high...
C.
The mall has changed allot since a few years back. Really slow but still ok for the basic needs.
R.
Full make over for this mall. Been to this shopping mall first time after 2009. Great to see so many changes
S.
For your quick basics it's good, but for any specific things you may need to go further afield. Does not have a huge verity of stores.
S.
Pretty dead, with lots of empty shops. More seem to leave all the time.
T.
Improved alot over the years love the food court and plenty of shopping options
T.
Not much here. Food court is bigger than the whole place. Not so many shops.
C.
Good range of shops, friendly staff and a decent layout,. However the geographical position of the Eastgate mall is somewhat unfortunate. in that it does have alot of riff raff and a certain gang presence
H.
Has basic shops...No big brands as in clothes, covers the norm... Eatery has Alot of little yumz.
T.
It’s well organize shopping mall that has almost all daily necessities available for customers.If you around this area please have a visit the EastGate Mall
J.
Not a Large complex in terms of shop variety. Has a good food hall and a Covid Vax center. It is easy to access with private or public transport. Not necessarily my first choice mall.
L.
Not many good stores in the mall however the sushi in food court is really good
M.
A lovely relaxing atmosphere to enjoy a latte while waiting for my prescription to be collected at Bargain chemist.
D.
has a good amount of people in it when compared to other malls
S.
Small mall easy to run in and out. Love the postie shop there now, it's small but packed 🙂 Has great budget school options eg white shirts
S.
Great little mall for all your daily and wants. Good selection of food in the food court. My favorite is a little bakery located adjacent to the chemist warehouse. Their food is yummy as, and the staff who serve your are awesome.
J.
A nice calm atmosphere, great food court and nice staff throughout.
H.
You know. It’s Eastgate. The only mall in NZ where someone has had their head cot off.
G.
Couldn't really get into the shopping mood at Eastgate, nice food court.
J.
Eastgate is my local and is as good as it could be I guess. Management should understand that if they lowered the rents and/or negotiated with some better store owners, then the customers would come back.
There are a few ok stores but nothing really of substance and what small shopping center needs 3 Pharmacies with a 4th just across the road too?
When Eastgate lost Farmers, the center went down hill. A men's clothing store would be good and even an electronics store. Not like Magpies who were selling their stuff for 3 times the market value.
Eastgate has potential but Management has to pull finger in order to make that potential happen.
R.
Very quiet. As most of the outlets I use to go to are now closed.
R.
Warehouse is great Eastgate Mall.. sat in the mall and had a coffee from a coffee bar in their .. normally their coffee is great but it was tasteless ...
p.
Friendly clean ,helpful.an overall good shopping experience.
L.
Lots of good shops and nice food
J.
Great mall alltho needs more shops
M.
Nice Mall with plenty of parking. Variety of shops including Countdown.
W.
Just ya average mall ...could do with more shops but in these times money is tight for everyone
R.
We have our cuppa's there and do our groceries there every week. Very happy with the whole of Eastgate.😊😊
M.
I went straight in got what I wanted and got out quickly. Cos I can't do to many people
C.
Closest place to where I was with a shady park for my dog on hot sunny day. Discovered @cquisitions by accident. Best ever place to find a fantastic present within a budget. Mum's 91st Birthday not easy to but for. Cut Crystal blue flowers in a vase under $20. Gift wrapped $5. Never seen Mum so overwhelmed with Joy at a present before. When I moved the flowers into the sunshine her joy doubled. Must definitely go to shop ever.
A.
Great and little mall and friendly staff.
A.
Good place to shop can get what you want
A.
Good atmosphere, not so busy
k.
Small basic mail, warehouse, eb games, pharmacy, lincraft, foodcourt etc. The countdown actually has a good range. Very casual vibe, you can go in your pyjamas or gumboots and fit right in. Take the kids in their onesies. It's fine.
j.
A busy place to shop but good
G.
It's very limited selection. I think there were more vacant shops than occupied ones. This whole place needs a re think. It was good before the quakes but selection of shops now is very limited. If the Warehouse was not on site then there would be hardly any reason to visit. Hopefully they can pull this around.
J.
Got what I needed. Good parking, variety of shops.
S.
Get a coffee at muffin break. Pretty good 👍
D.
Great place for shopping and gathering for a coffee or dinner
A.
I love Eastgate too get my little chores done is never overwhelming. Does need a few more ships but I love that the library and helpful services are also in there. Great people watching
S.
Good mall, especially the food court
D.
Getting old and tired.
Needs redoing or demolishing
M.
This is another good mall which l have been to since it was built . It has all of the stores required and precise good service.
Cheers
r.
Plenty of shops easy parking.
S.
Walkways awesome able to use my walker no problem beautiful planting
J.
Sorry,but it is a very good mall...my experience,I went to have tea
S.
Wonderful place to visit ... friendly and helpful staff everwhere
K.
Plenty of parking. Good variety of shops
D.
Average range. Parking not generally an issue.
J.
It's got everything you need including a library and has a good selection for food. Usually pretty clean but doesn't have many specialty stores.
t.
Its my locally. Mall got most of wot need . Not all banks
E.
It's an okay mall. The type of mall where you go to do your errands and maybe have a coffee. That's about it. Nothing really exciting about it.
D.
An eastern institution. A good place to come and bump with fellow people from the east. It has suffered since the earthquakes but the stores that have stayed are great and we need tk continue to support them. The food court is good, franks coffee is a must and the.book store always has great deals. Suppor local, support eastgate.
T.
Its not the worst mall in chch. It's got a good bb&b, no1 shoes, acquisitions ( which I love) a warehouse and lovely sushi....plenty of choices of chemists too, with bargain
chemist, unichem life and countdown pharmacy! You can even get a delicious bubble tea there.
M.
The Foodcourt is impressive for a small mall, great range of choices. Good parking, and easy road access.
R.
Best mall in Christchurch apart from Westfield riccarton.
d.
East Gate is great if you want to pick up some books from the library, get some good sushi, or do a bit of grocery shopping. However the place has been looking a bit sad recently. I don't know if it's just because of the area its in or if its just because its slowly been in decline since the earthquakes, but its definitely a shell of its former self.
C.
I have always had excellent service at Eastgate Warehouse. The staff are awesome, friendly and extremely helpful. I love shopping there. I am in a wheelchair and the aisles are wide and it is very easy to manouvre around the shop. Thank you," The Warehouse Eastgate".
V.
Enjoy browing around the different shops, and having a bite to eat, have enjoyed the theater also
n.
Great place to eat friendly people
J.
I enjoyed meeting old friends that i hadn't seen for a while plus enjoyed having a great day shopping
N.
Plenty of shops to choose from and not the crowds like bigger malls. Service is top notch wherever you go.
J.
Great shopping centre with a variety of places to eat at and heaps of seating. There is a little playground upstairs for the kids to play and ilthe seating area is also quite spacious. Overall the mall is filled with lots of places to look at and a medical centre upstairs.
Countdown and the ware house is also connected, so it's quite convenient.
P.
Ok shops it had shops that I need. Just the signal is not that great with in and out
S.
So love this mall and it's got The Warehouse next door.
L.
Great service and special mention to Ms.Jacki she did an awesome job for me. Love this place and definitely want to go back..
A.
Not to sure about the medical centre being on the first floor. Especially when seeing the Physio for severe lumber strain..
Still service was adequate.
E.
Apart from the Palms this was the very next mall I learnt how to get to effortlessly. It's not much to look at but the Warehouse, Library and Paper Plus are my most visited areas!
M.
Linwoods eastgate is top class if not rather small with convieniences like the bargain chemist, supermarket and 'Warehouse' making the weekly shop as easy as.
S.
This is a very nice mall to go. It does not have a very wide range of activities and services, but the few things it has are very good. I really like how open the area is and how well organized everything is. The only "issue" is that there are some specific services that are a little hard to find if you go first time. For the rest, everything is perfect. Highly recommended to go with family, friends, partner, etc. :)
M.
Always enjoy going there
p.
Eastgate is what it is, half of the pre earthquake version, anchored by a warehouse and countdown. Has a food court with library and fast food outlets adjacent.
M.
Fairly average shopping center. It has a supermarket and general store (The Werehouse) a reasonable food court and a craft shop. Plenty of parking.
I.
Great place to get your vaccine shots with a great team of people
N.
Smaller mall than most but always clean, tidy and has a variety of shops for local shopping. Plenty of parking. Library and Medical center in side the mall. This is a fantastic community mall rather than a big shopping mall. Good food court and toilet facilities. Bus connections great and varied.
D.
Good selection of shops
M.
Haven't been in for a while but was great last time I visited. Great selection of stores something for all ages. Easy to find what you're after
J.
Eastgate is my local Mall. I am so grateful that the shops that are there have stuck around. It is an important place in the community as it has places like the medical centre, the Loft, council services, Library plus all the shops.
I find it a great place for the community to meet because you can actually have a conversation in the food court and it's lovely seeing familiar faces all around. Parking is never an issue.
Eastgate puts on events for the children during school holidays and recently put on 'Trick or Treating' for the children and it was so lovely that most of the shops got involved.
It may not be as flashy and shiny as the the other malls in Christchurch but it it has everything my family needs without feeling pretentious.
G.
Went to the warehouse here,good shop,staff friendly,hard to get a carpark sometimes but overall it's ok
L.
Small, has a medium-sized food court with a Council library upstairs and a connecting Warehouse and Countdown. It's easy to navigate and has a quaint feel to it, as well as being tidy. Not a great tourist area but fit for the locals.
C.
Alot to choose from and good food court...pity about the road works everywhere outside
S.
A very busy local hub that has bounced back well after the earthquakes.....
H.
Eastgate is convenient for most of my needs lately.
C.
I went to the Westpac bank and the staff member I had serve me was great, I had a difficult transaction to do and she was very patient and helpful.
T.
Good shopping facilities
R.
Gr8 Countdown supermarket
Warehouse has Sony Bravaria tvs and JVC speaker boxes
Gr8 Staff!
M.
Best ice-cream
N.
Postie plus, pagani and number one shoes would be my highlight of the mall. There is a playground upstairs which is cool. Not many food court options. I think a glassons would be great there. A lot of homeless do hang about outside unfortunately that comes with the area that it is in.
D.
Good food not very many shops
T.
Decent selection of stores, still a few vacant spots for more stores though. Always plenty of parking when I seem to go
C.
Not what it use to be, but got a supermarket, warehouse, food court plus a few novelty stores
Not a holiday destination but great spot for the locals
J.
It's not the most stunning mall out there and has a bit of a run down feel to it. That said, there are still some useful shops to be found within its walls. The main reason for me to visit is it's the closest Warehouse and Warehouse Stationery
T.
Still my favorite Mall, been coming here since it was Linwood City back then now Eastgate it's great it's still there on the east for ones to go to since a few shops have moved from the east it's great to see they have stayed.
C.
Eastgate is my ride an die mall I will always have time to go there no matter what 😁♥️ #dontforgetwhereitallbegan
N.
Has the bare essential shops, plenty car parking, always a few empty shops and they are forever changing. Not really a need for 2 pharmacies in a mall of that size.
P.
I stopped at Muffin Break for a coffee it was realy good but I got a helliers Pie they are realy good I was a Happy Shopper
r.
I love going there
T.
This mall is always so clean, great range of shops and it's good to have the warehouse and countdown and bigger shops there. Food court has some delicious choices. I really miss having farmers though.
N.
Has a warehouse, a warehouse stationary, a grocery store, a decent food court, a gym and a library. Very few clothing stored but is otherwise quite good for the usual foodie :) does have a number 1 shoe warehouse and a good bunch of staff. Good amount of parking.
T.
Very disjointed totally different experience than pre earthquake which is to be expected, I have to admit that I found Riccarton much easier to navigate, just personal opinion
I.
A nice collection of unique small stores that slowly go out of business while the Staples prop the mall up. Late hours warehouse and countdown always appreciate, facilitys usually quite clean, decent set of food stores but lacking entertainment for the kids, bring back a decent timezone!
T.
Has what I wanted and food court is small but it was clean and tidy
J.
Lots a parking. Parking for scooters and motorbikes. Lots of shops and a good food court area
C.
This Mall is adequate the staff in the shops are good to deal with and the food court offers some neat food.
P.
Variety of shops,,seasonal sales,or though super market always seems to be short staffed,,
R.
Still clean and friendly with supermarket.Not alotofshops but you can still find most of what you'd like. Great cafes and good service all round
K.
Eastgate Shopping Centre, 20 Buckley’s Road, Linwood, Christchurch. Surprised to see how quite it was here for the time of the year; the mall has the basic shops you need. But it really could do with made over rather dirty outside and in need of some TLC. Great mall for the locals of the Linwood community with the medical centre and council services, Library etc.
A.
A big shop full of cheap products of all kinds including grocery items and hardware, clothes and footware,gardening items and just about every thing you would need. But not fruit and vegetables. A dark place with a lack of fun atmosphere. Huge carpark.
J.
Honest, no-frills, and all shopping options in one place. Too many food outlets!
R.
I very much enjoy the food court. prices at some places are a bit high but there are some bargains to be had. (Can't remember the cafe) but they have a Date scone to die for, served hot, with real butter yumeeeee!
J.
Like this mall very much compared to other Christchurch malls. Small, but everything there. Normally not busy. Great wide spaced food court. A bit rough clientele
L.
Residents receive great care. Families contacted regulary with updates re the procedures due to the virus. All cares taken. Happy residents . Many thanks to Manager Catherine and all staff.
J.
A silent shopping mall with all the necessary things available. Food , library , warehouse , electronics , hair & beauty , clothes , foot wears , NZ Post , pharmacy , etc..
S.
This is a dying mall. Very limited. What is there though is clean and tidy.
T.
Always a great little mall to visit. Enjoy bumping into family or friends. Very friendly atmosphere. Close to countdown and the warehouse which is great
J.
Easy to find shops, good parking easy access. Poorer area but good variety of shops.
K.
It has a variety of shops. Good atmosphere. Very handy to buses. Lots of different places to eat like muffin break, McDonald's, KFC Burger King Wonder Wok, Susie Time.
R.
Good food court, but, excluding the warehouse, not really any shops for men that I can see
S.
Not much there in terms of retail shops
N.
Plenty of all round shopping.
h.
Gr8 Place to Shop between City Centre & New Brighton Mall. Good All Round Overall Westfields Riccarton the Best
C.
It doesn't have a variety of shops other than discount shops. Posting Plus is great along with The Warehouse and Number One Shoes. Huge food area.
s.
Nice and small. Easy to found shops use with the library wear house and countdown. Along with many other use full shops and the food court. All very well set up.
M.
Met a total stranger in The Warehouse and we had an awesome conversation. The only downside was the one store in Christchurch that had the item I'd been looking for didn't take credit, so I couldn't make the purchase.
B.
This is quite a good shopping centre. Really nice Food Court and really clean.
S.
I only dropped off a mixer for my son, I did notice however that the floors where clean
A.
Haven't actually been there since they renovated some time ago. Was impressed it's a nice bright airy mall with some nice shops. Parking and pedestrian access was very good.
T.
This was my view from the Countdown Supermarket. Lovely people who work there at the store and the best place to eat in the mall is Frank's Cafe in the food court. A hidden secret.... their food is incredible!
L.
Always enough parking, not a huge mall but good range of lower priced bargain shops, i love it, the 1-2-3$ asian shop, warehouse, postie, number 1 shoes, and way more always get a good deal here. Plenty of space in food court, and every giant fast food chain within 100m of the mall not that it interests me 😂 i go for the best sushi in christchurch @ sushi time in the food court 😍 we got free santa photos at Christmas for my daughter too!
A.
It's just ok. Not much vibe happening if that's what you want, try Riccarton Mall
s.
It has a big supermarket and a library. The Warehouse is attached to it so it's really handy. The mall has only one healthy alternative, that is sushi, but it has nice female shops and some with affordable prices. There's a Number One Shoes store there.
R.
An awesome shopping centre with the good variety of retail,cafe and hospo brands.
It also has a wee library on the top floor.
Doesn't have to sweat hard to find the parking spot unlike riccarton mall.
H.
Ideally good time to come shop or look around, j would recommend coming before 5pm. That way all shops will be open
W.
I got everything I went for. Thanks eastgate
P.
It's quaint compared to other malls in chch,like that it's size allows one to peruse all shops & businesses within reasonable timing without exhausting oneself, food court is awesome,great diversity of choice available.
J.
Bought a fabulous car Toyota aqua. And I get my car groomed each .month for free.
b.
Generally a good shopping center. Been a couple of years since I was here. Ample parking. Plenty of stores
S.
Always lots of parking...
Great selection of shops...
Kids area...
Food court is great...
One stop shop for most you need...
G.
Not to busy and far better security arrangements than Westfield Riccarton
L.
Eastgate Mall, well what can I say.
Not enough shops. Too many paedophiles running around Mall.
Toilets a little dirty at times.
Security lacking sometimes.
Disability parks often have vehicles in them that shouldn't be there.
Staff I noticed when cleaning etcetera don't wear gloves.
Alright if you are not too fussy on cleanliness.
Staff polite but security need to watch the people who frequent the rubbish for cigarette smokes.yuck disgusted behaviour.
I try and not visit there and would definitely go elsewhere if I can.
Sometimes I see pedophile people walking around Mall and it gives me the creeps.
I am trying very hard to name something good from this place but.....
M.
Food court is pretty OK. Countdown shopping food mart, handy. Rather under provioned for shops. Though check, there is still a number present which are quite worthwhile dependent on need: including Warehouse etc.
n.
Easy place to shop and get around without to much fuss
I.
A mall, what can you say? I recommend Subway here, lovely owner; gave me a free cookie as I was waiting. Warehouse is handy and there's plenty of parking. Head to McDonalds though, rather than KFC, as the queue is hideous when busy. Domino's is fast for a $5 pizza, and there's the women's gym upstairs to work it off! A number of shops in the food court and clothes shops for the family.
H.
Not a bad mall. Some good shops
R.
The stores are ok, not much variety. Ok for a local mall. Good parking but people really don't look where they are going more here for some reason! Keep an eye on your little ones and yourself!!
H.
Always a great place to shop. 💇♀️🛒🍟🥗🍩☕🥤🍔Love the library upstairs📚
G.
It is a great shopping complex with ease of access to the local community, some of the tenants there include The Warehouse, McDonald's, Countdown, Linwood Public Library and a Medical Centre complete with it's own Pharmacy and a fabulous Food Court
G.
Mister mint very helpful good service
S.
Cutest cheap toys.
E.
So long as you're an average human who knows how to dress themselves get on down to improve your self worth, a lot of the clientele seem like the audience of the Jeremy Kyle show.
If pyjamas and ugg boots are your thing come and compare fashions
S.
Located on the east side of Christchurch, Eastgate is a smaller shopping mall comprising a Countdown supermarket, The Warehouse, post shop, kiwi bank, Westpac bank, several specialty stores like EB games, Lincraft sewing fabric and crafts, hair cuts and stylists, pascoes jewellers, City Library branch and numerous food court offerings including mcDonalds, KFC, Burger King, and Subway.
substantial parking, moderately busy place, convenient central east side location positioned on arterial routes that link all major directions.
The mall is ageing a little which is why I have only 4star rated the location. Despite upgrades after the earthquakes, it still looks somewhat detracting with its back to the community. In my opinion it lacks that warm welcoming you in feeling on first sight. In saying this, it is very clean, modern inside and the service providers strive to deliver top class service to their customers.
C.
Average mall, not type of mall to just wonder around, generally just need to be heading to specify shop as missing a lot of big brands. Has a very good warehouse and number one shoes & lincraft store. Upstairs is library. Guaranteed just about to see someone walking around in either slippers, onesie or pajamas here.
m.
Its my least favorite mall run by the crusader's. Its got everything u need in the one place. A library, a variety of places to eat and drink, a supermarket, wherehouse stationary, a library and the warehouse for all your shopping needs. But I got told I wasn't allowed to sing or beatbox or play music on my phone in the mall and trespassed for asking why, filling out a complaint form after getting kicked out of the library for eating a Lillie while checking my emails which I still haven't checked yet... I think the security are run feckers
S.
Plenty of parking.
Some of the parking is a long way from the mall.
Has disabled parking and wheelchair access.
Reasonable range of outlets. Main tenants The Warehouse, Farmers, Countdown.
Has a KFC and a McDonalds.
J.
Enjoyed shopping good stores
L.
The food at Frank's was very nice and the girls were friendly
P.
Aquisitions here was the stand out for me. Everything else is the same as everywhere else. It does have a big warehouse outside and countdown also accessed from outside. The library, health Centre and the loft is upstairs. Not the biggest but not the worst.
I.
When companies prioritize a policy above the needs of customers, it shows.The golden rule — treat others the way you want to be treated — should trump any protocol. If you’re not sure how to respond in a scenario, think about what’s the kindest, most honest thing to do. This overarching ethos can easily prevent really bad customer service stories from happening on your watch.
L.
Love the fact that both the Warehouse AND the Warehouse Stationery are conveniently located in one building here
B.
A decent shopping mall, but besides Countdown and The Warehouse, there is no real desire to come here.
T.
Just not enough clothes shops like cotton on .. glassons k mart
G.
Considering all the options a traveler have around Christchurch, this may be the best one. Supermarket, library (with free WiFi), heaps of choices for a quick meal. Toilet's upstairs are very clean and there's free parking for 3 hours.
b.
Nice little area.
E.
Great mall to shop
J.
Great and handy maybe needs a slightly bigger selection of shops
C.

T.
Nice open plan. Good selection of shops. Clean and tidy.
L.
I walk there now then
B.
Not bad for a small mall. Bit of a dodgy area tho. So take care with personal property etc. But other than that has most of what you need.
K.
I know my mall it't where I shop for a long time now & I know a lot of the staff not by name but by face all lively to deal with.
s.
Bit small and untidy but nice to shop in and friendly staff
A.
Good range of stores, a Countdown and The Warehouse and the Library. Bunch of others and a food court.
B.
Very handy but too many vacant shops. Really miss the record store!
D.
Great place to meet and get basic shopping done. Standard shops and food court but really no specialty shops. I went there hoping to buy men's clothing but found I had to head to Westfield mall!

Good place to go for the warehouse, lincraft, number one shoes, and countdown

Has everything you need.
j.
Low foot traffic. Easy to do my shopping with safe distances
a.
Overall good but not much busy as mall remains
M.
The mall has the shops I need. But it really could do with a tidy up outside. And maybe some art or colour on the walls
T.
What can I say it's been about 6 years since I've been there & it hasn't changed at all the lattes have improved that's about it the staff in acquisitions are lovely & very helpful so that's it
K.
Very limited on stores, not like how it use to be before the earthquakes. Great car park, easy access, big food court and not as busy compared to other malls
t.
Not a bad mall but you can't reverse out of a car park safely with out the idiot drivers driving at high speed.
M.
Small mall but has everything you need
T.
Sad that Mcdonald is not in Mall space.
H.
Everything you need in one place. Always parking available. Average food options however!
A.
If you're in that side of town Eastgate has many options sitting down having a quiet lunch in the food hall, check out the public library, buying presents or day to day shopping worth the stop
M.
Medical Centre and Library situated within the Mall. Countdown Supermarket and The Warehouse in the same complex. Large food hall with a CD store and other shops.
A.
Good shopping mall to kill the time.
M.
Love this place! Not a whole lot going on but the eatery is nice and you can shop there for almost everything you need!

Has really changed now, since the earthquake in 2011. Lots of shops, a warehouse extra, countdown. Loved the shopping with friendly people.

Not a very good range of shops but of you are going for something specific it's great. Not as busy as some of the other malls and car parking is easy.
K.
Pretty good mall, pretty nice place to chill but need to add more shops inside it to make it not boring and more advance.

H.
Not as busy as some of the other Christchurch malls. But still a good collection of shops and lots of free parking
A.
Easy to get to and from. Has a ok variety of shops. The supermarket and warehouse connection to the mall is a bit odd. Food court is reasonable.
D.
Parking not a problem compared to Riccarton or Hornby. You can get most of what you need other than high end so worth a visit if you are in the area.
B.
Our closest mall but not good choices for shopping. Building design is not hi tech or its wrong design. Heaps of parking area but not impressive comparatively.

Warehouse here is cool and super big with friendly staff and good prices

There is lots of parking and the place is easy to get to, but the range of shops is pretty average/low quality. It's alright if you just need to go to the supermarket or the Warehouse.
