M. R.

This is a surprisingly good place. Great coffee and food. I've been there 3 times and each time I have tried a new place for food and coffee. I have not been disappointed. The dumplings were excellent and the spinach and feta scone I have just had was excellent. Well worth stopping and as it is an easy walk for me I will keep going back.

A. W.

Very open and natural light. If you want to be seen somewhere, this is the place. Easy parking behind the building from 60-120mins. An arrange of eating/drinking options for every taste. Fantastic ideas for gifts! Something for everyone.

C. F.

Great options to choose from at the food area. You can go there and have a two way conversation and actually hear each other speaking. Great place to meet up with friends.

J. M.

If I was to sum up this place in one sentence it would be 'good Sunday morning coffee and cake stop'. It hasa very chilled vibe about it thar you feel you can either sit in one of the yummy cafes of grab a coffee and s choice of the delicious eaterys offering both sweet and savory choices. Interesting choice of shops and great place to pick up a gift as well as something qwerky. If you do stop here you must also pop down the road and see the cat cafe, even through the window, any cat lover would appreciate it!!!

M. R.

Such a nice little mall. Very well set up with a bunch of great shops and an awesome food court. I love all the greenery in the place! They also run very fun wee workshops from this mall. The cleaners do an amazing job at keeping this mall absolutely spotless. I definitely recommend visiting this mall as it is very inviting

G. L.

Love my local mall. The food court in the middle is really good but the variety of stores, including the recently opened Smiths City are really good. Shoes, Anna Strettons, curios, gifts, it's all here.

F. C.

I had the opportunity to visit the store of Anna Stretton and totally loved the clothes. The staff working that (9th Dec) are amazing to making sure their customers are looked after. I will be going back there to buy clothes

s. s.

Lovely mall small in size but has got some amazing shops, with ample parking up to 120min. Cafes and stores outside the mall too, good area to spend the morning. Food stalls and restaurants also plenty in this area. There's a cute baby shop too.

c.

Great variety of stores from food to clothing and personal care

A. W.

I hadn't been for sometime n found it difficult to find the shops I wanted. In.fact another person felt the same. It was NOT the vibrant mall that used to be

R. S.

Beautifull mall I am lucky near by me house I am regular coffe cafe underground I like chess scones very yummy 😋

C. C.

A nice little arcade, neat and tidy. Not so many shops as the bigger arcades but then that can be a good thing if you just want to shop without feeling that your getting pushed around by mobs of people.

D.

Went to cinema. Very comfortable. Tho lights a little slow to come on after film ended

J. Z.

It’s a small mall to stroll around when youre new in the area. There are great shops and enjoyed that $2 shop or the cheap shop in there. Bough a good book from the bookshop with a friendly lady. Smith furniture is also right there which is awesome. And u can also get food and coffee- which was really a plus. Great to hang out for a chill day with window shopping or just really wanna relax

P.

Met a friend for lunch. A great selection for anyone here. Great shops. A great selection of shops to browse before or after lunch...heck just because. We both enjoyed our lunch. Used the onsite toilets which were clean, Thanks. Alot of carparking. If you haven't been here for a while then definitely stop in.

R. M.

Great shops, lots of parking, good shopping experience always. . .

L. K.

Brilliant shopping centre with shops that are a little bit different to the norm. Luv it!!

R.

Great place. Have a couple of fave shops in there

E.

Great shopping and Verity of food 0utlets Great meeting place

D. M.

This is a small mall. It has very up market shops and so not your usual mall with regular shops. It does have a range of very nice eateries and fashion shops. It can be quite busy, I think it has become 'The Place' to meet for coffee. There is a car park but I have found it hard sometimes to get a park.

I. C.

Really has it all now. Amazing Smith's City store here now. Heaps of God food and coffee as well. Good parking too

K.

Nice variety of high end shops with something for everyone

G.

Great food choices and such interesting gift and homeward stores

C.

This is a boutique mall. QUERKY, void of the big name stores and eateries. Very personalised. Excellent gift shopping mall

S. P.

Even though spotlight is gone now the mall still seems to be buzzing. Amazing selection of quality foods and then the shops are of higher quality too (labeled and branded). Worth the visit if you're present shopping and can stop and have a coffee or salad on the way!

E. M.

Nice bespoke mall with some great food vendors and other stores. The Smiths City in the old spotlight site has a great range of Furniture, whiteware and appliances and you can even catch a movie in the Arthouse cinema. There are several different food choices and a number of cafes. Certainly not you main street retailers here but a treasure trove of arty stores and some cool nick backs you won’t find anywhere else

A.

It was very pretty with all the flora & fauna dotted around with funky furniture

T. M.

This is a great mall with an excellent vibe. A good selection of eateries with quality and tasty food and other tempting shops. A great place to hang out, catch up with a friend, etc.

S. B.

Being away from the hustle and bustle of the city is the charm of The Colombo. I personally enjoyed the subdued vibes. For a simple, uncomplicated, and relaxed experience give this place a go.

R. K.

Modern shopping space with variety of cafes and boutique clothing and accessory retail shops. Plenty of social spaces within a bright and well lit environment. Plenty of off street parking available as well as limited main street parking/access.

D.

Awesome place really relaxed and non discrimination...

j.

Interesting shops, quite unique products and gifts to be found here

R. D.

Full of good vibes with a good range of shops. A relaxing place to be for a couple of hours or so. There is a movie theatre on site if you want to relax

L.

Great variety of coffee shops..

k. r.

Friendly owner, we were able to get a 2nd car remote done within. And hour and a half. Expensive but way cheaper than using the car specialist!!!! Would use again

B. W.

A trendy place that's always bustling with people. It can be busy at peak times but is great great to catch up with someone and has a good variety of shops

C. K.

Good choice of shops and quality food outlets. Busy but quiet enough to hear each other speak while dining in the mall.

w.

This mall is so good has lots of different shops the food court is amazing if you haven't been give it a try .save going to the big mall

S.

This place has many different stores, the only thing I found is the prices are at the higher end.

H. S.

Very fancy throughout the whole mall with lots of cool shops. I would recommend going out here for lunch or dare I say Brunch because they have some very yummy stores like the serious sandwiche and others.

J. R.

Its kind of almost a mall, but mainly filled with posh things for posh people. I don't hate it. So thats pretty good. Not sure i generally have a reason to go there though.

V. M.

I enjoyed the 2 movies immensely at the Academy Gold Cinema. "A Christmas gift from Bob "and "The Bee Gees " It is a lovely theatre . I also had a very nice coffee there.

R. R.

Nice few shops. Have spotlight and a nice food court which has macaroons and my favourite sandwich store :) it is a place that is a bit tricky to find and limited on street parking out front but large parking lot out the back. Strange but they have a carpet store, a wrap/kebab store and just looks like a nice mini mall.

P. M.

Mall has some great shops, pricing is very high from most stores. Not sure how they survive, hopefully when Spotlight leaves they will offer some more interesting stores and food outlets. Parking and access in and out of mall needs a massive improvement. They are more concerned about ticketing people who park for too long than actually fixing the potholes and asphalt in their carpark.

R.

Amigos cafe. Excellent cheese rolls and coffee.

F. A.

No comments I was just filling in time. But next trip will be to my all time fav dress shop with I hope my fav 2 girls who know what I like. Sadly I don't fit my beautiful wardrobe full of Anna Stretton but my original one or two offs and signed All Black special will not depart my wardrobe.

M. C.

Love this little mall. Great shops and coffee.

K.

Love this place. Great shops and dining choices. Worth a visit.

C. A.

What a niche little mall, lovely shops and a beautiful sweet treats Cafe that had us buying doughnuts to take home! Yum!!

F. M.

Had an amazing lunch, so much to choose from but I went for Mexican and my companion had a great sandwich. Spent the next hour wandering around looking in the shops. I love Industria which is on the outside of the centre but has a great range of decor. Only reason I didn't give the experience 5 stars was that parking is often difficult.

I. R.

One of my favourite small malls to visit. Lots of character, good food, house shops, movie theatre, pharmacy and a few clothes shops. Great for present shopping and a place to meet up with friends. On a Saturday you can sometimes catch a busker playing outside. Agree with that the parking us not the best designed.

C.

Great mall with specialty shops and a personality you just lose in the sterile mega malls. Excellent little food court areas with a great selection of healthy and homemade options. Great art house cinema too.

L. E.

Love this place! Great atmosphere, good variety of shops and retailers. Good amount of parking spaces available.

S. W.

Interesting selection of stores. Not your typical mall. Perfect if you've got a destination to visit & time to browse. Food court isn't your standard fare, more posh cafe style.

M.

The Colombo is a lovely eclectic mall to visit.

C. O.

I really like this mall. It has a good boutique feel to it. The food hall is cozy and the shops a bit different from the usual malls. There is a very quaint picture theater there as well. Worth a visit.

C. D.

Nice to visit, great food choices and interesting shops, see quite upmarket but generally caters to most tastes, Spotlight adds to the mix for those who are a bit more creative. Handy to the movie theatres too.

M. M.

Great mall, low key, nice interesting shops and good food outlets. Would recommend for clothes / gift shopping. Academy Cinema also handy.

L.

A small shopping mall with some non-chain shops, which I prefer.

P. P.

Great little mall (non generic visit) worth a visit if your looking to buy a gift for someone with plenty of choice. Great eclectic food court. Don't go on the weekend parking is a nightmare.

H. B.

Lovely Boutique Shopping Mall. Love the Cinema there. The Cheeky Sparrow is a lovely place for morning/afternoon tea or lunch. Other fantastic eateries in the middle of the Mall. Great Boutique clothing shops. Always very busy and has a great Vibe.

C. M.

Good little boutique shopping mall. Come here just to look around and you will still be satisfied even if you don't spend any money. The food court is great! The food is better quality than other run of the mill malls. I highly recommend the sandwich shop they have here. All the food shops are good here though. It would get 5 stars if it had some kind of supermarket.

V.

Nothing wrong with a boutique mall but the food court is filled with overpriced food, especially catered towards hipsters and middle aged mums. I also found it hard to navigate the mall due to its confusing layout. Despite this, it could potentially provide a good 30 minutes of entertainment.

P.

Nice little coffee shop with heaps of atmosphere.

J. C.

My regular cafe . Double shot expresso served steaming hot here - so many other places you get it lukewarm . Children friendly. Great food as are the friendly staff - Courtney and Danielle . As sufferer of 'Mall Fever' - I can avoid shopping in this refuge , If only they would finish the bloody roadworks on Riccarton Road

J. M.

This is no boring run-of-the-mill mall. It has boutique shops - as well as some old favourites - and a genuinely tasty food hall. The cinema is close by and you could easily whittle away a few hours here. Watch out that you park in the right parking spot for the amount of time you want to spend there; they are time-allocated!

S.

Ikea type shop...great furniture...

T. M. R.

This is a great local Mall. No super market but as Pak n Save and Countdown are a couple of minutes away on the other side of Moorhouse Avenue your not gonna notice. Great little fashion niche stores and good food from a couple of cafes and a noodle shop as well as a bistro and a few neighbourhood bars makes this place comfortably trendy but not overwhelmingly so. Also has a local picture theatre that caters to a more refined taste in entertainment very much like Alice in Video land. A very family friendly place, most definitely recommended.

I. G.

The Colombo has grown much bigger with more choice of shops. Still not much for menswear but lots of shops to tempt me. Also yummy food options if you are there for lunch.

K. H.

Very helpful staff. Great furniture/Appliances and spacious

R. G.

I come here for coffee. Plenty of lunch options and some tasty dumplings. Not a fan of the shops as they are all for rich housewives with nothing better to do during the day, however underground coffee kiosk and spotlight are the main highlights

K. K.

Nice place to browse and have a coffee. I went in specifically to go to Pricewise to buy Will & Able products.

C. W.

One of the best Christchurch boutique mall. The designer shops and lovely cafes add the sense of shopping experience. This is also my regular lunch place, love the food court. Unfortunately my favorite underground cafe has changed management, that was unfortunate.

R.

Bright and warm with plenty of stores

G. D.

Some of the shops are expensive, some are fine. Food selection is diverse and fun and they recently added a book store...which makes me happy anyway!

L. P.

Right now I think it is the most vibrant place in Chch to shop. It is a perfect size, parking can be a bit painful, but because it's popular. Love the daffodils everywhere, even if it doesn't feel like spring it looks like it. Put it on your list of places to shop. Good eating areas, and good choice of what to eat

A.

One of the more interesting places to go in Chch with a delicious sandwich shop make sure to go there

n. m.

Really nice small mall with lots of nice food and some good shops. A few empty spaces though and could do with a kids activity area maybe? But very pleasant

J. T.

Good variety of shops and excellent parking. Very good food.

S. G.

Many hours to be had here with its variety of quaint little shops. To the delicious eaterys and rather large craft haven "spotlight", where youll find anything from beads to wool to material to homewares. Ample off street parking.

g.

one of the city's hidden gems ..beautiful selection of shops so much choice ..loved it

B. L.

A great place to come for a bite to eat and a little shop. Boutique stores are a nice change from regular malls and there's a great variety of food options. The inside is unique and there's a positive vibe.

S. H.

Beautiful interior in the dining area (fancy foodcourt) and great selection of places to eat. You'll find hideously overpriced imported IKEA goods and boutique clothing stores and then the sad, detoriated Spotlight store which is the only place I can afford to shop at :-D

D. H.

Love this, lots of great shops with really interesting things to see. Can happily spend an hour browsing and always pick up something neat. Then enjoy coffee before leaving.

b.

Nice new store. But not very busy

J.

Spotlight...I miss you! Friday is a great day to visit, local produce for all to try. Thanks guys n girls. Never fail to deliver.

t.

Not bad at all, carpark was pretty busy but some of the finest shops :)

H.

Quite different to most malls. Big range of eating options. Found staff in cafe on road frontage quite disinterested in us when we ordered coffees. Parking can often be a real hassle

E. M. F.

Best. Food. Just discovered inlyhone week. Sparrow coffee food. Beautiful. All home made. Best toasted sandwich. Every. Had. Full pineapple and. Ham. Coffee best. Ever lovely. Hot. Sitting friend. Laureen

I. S.

Very tight carpark is the only real downside of this boutique mall. Anchored by Spotlight and supported with high end fashion, gifts and foods. Hosts some good pop-ups and also has the best Frontrunner store in town. Then there's the great little cinema showing art films as well as the block busters. It's a destination in its own right and we'll worth checking out.

S. L.

Health food, dumplings and cafe style eateries alongside quality womenswear and interior design/furniture stores. Not a big complex but it certainly has a trendy and lush vibe.

J. E.

Love going here for a wander rpund. Best dumplings ever! And spotlight which always has the best sales for the crafty person. Love the macaroon shop in the centre! Always stop there every trip to The Colombo!!

J. H.

Good location. Lots of stores. Great eateries. Movie Theatre also part of complex. Good parkng. Parking can be tight at weekends

h.

A Mall that is. Annah Streton need we say more worth a look see. Personally I'm a yes 👍

G.

Got take a way coffee and food

k. s.

Great variety of quality shops with a varied food court catering for all tastes. A fantastic coffee cafe as well. Infortunately didnt get to see the beautiful Anna Stretton...

D. S.

I always like this place. Plenty to look at great shops that aren't your average chain store

S.

Lovely mall. Did some retail therapy 😃

W. N.

Never been here before today. Quite an interesting variety of shops. A bit different from the run of the mill mall.

C.

Not your normal mall. Good quality clothing and accessories, boutique food court, art house cinema and great open spaces. Not a Maccas in sight.

A. R.

Nice place to visit. Food court is amazing but quite expensive. Lots of quirky shops to look at. Semi decent parking outside which is good.

D. M.

Actually pretty nice, family oriented and relaxed shipping mall which is not huge, but still big enough to do your shopping with diverse food stalls with delicious food in them... so be careful not to spend there all your money...

E. C.

Lovely variety of shops & some had good sales. Yummy food. Good coffee. Easy parking. Clean toilets.

P.

Always feel underdressed when in this mall but beautiful stores

S. T.

Great variety of food bars cafes to rest at while shopping for clothes shoes home wares through to makeup toiletries. Well worth a visit.

l.

has good food and a nice selection of shops for an hr or so.

S.

Always a great place for food options and shopping

S.

Great place very interesting

C. H.

Mini shopping mall with a much more eclectic mix of shops. The Academy Gold cinema is a gem and the central food market is classy with a mix of smaller vendors and funky seating.

H. E.

Smallish mall I'm frequenting because of The Warehouse and New World mainly, but has also a great Chinese takeaway and a couple of good Sushi places. Good parking.

J.

Great food hall. I love the shop Price Wise - great staff. You feel well looked after by the staff. The specials - fab. Go visit ......shop

J.

Great place to go for a variety of food, clothes, experiences..

T. W.

Lovely place for shopping and food. Recommend Pot Stickers for lunch. 😊👍

A. F.

Came in for late breakfast Slideys caught my eye. Pulled pork slider and a portion of polenta fries the BEST I've had of both. Highly recommend you give them a try😉

J. E.

Good variety of shops - kids toilets would be a good addition to the baby change room.

A. M.

It's great to have Smiths in there now. Love the feel of this mall.

A. M.

It's a great place to meet up and have a wonderful meal with so many options available. Excellent mix of shopping choices.

D. H.

After looking online as to what art and crafts products Spotlight had available that I was looking for, I headed on down to pick up some supplies. I was delighted at the abundance of crafts upstairs. But alas the items I thought they stocked had all been on sale and no more stock will ever be replenished as it is no longer a supply they wish to continue. I was very dissapointed as first it was on line and secondly the market in Christchurch for what I wanted seems spare. So back to trawling the internet for craft shops with my particular craft.

H.

A very nice mall unexpected and understated. They had a food market on when we visited with was nice with a great selection of different foods.

M. L.

Christchurch's newest mall (possibly) and definitely one of its trendiest. They have plenty of interesting seating, typically with old-school wooden benches. The shops are pretty unique and range from arty furniture/homeware stores to fashion stores. Also home to Spotlight and a small cinema. The Beligum Beer cafe is based in the mall's carpark, and Burgers and Beers a sell as The Beer Library are just outside on Colombo Street. The mall's a victim of its own popularity, with some of the worst parking in town. Tight corners and very limited spaces. Otherwise, this is a great mall to visit, particularly if you're interested in trying some fantastic food away from the typical fast-food chains that you see in other malls.

T.

Enjoyed our meals always a treat coming here nice atmosphere too

C. B.

This place is dangerous in the most lovely way with so many eclectic shops, very handy location and parking, being close to the main roads but in it's own little shopping area.

J. R.

Decent range for a quick bite while shopping, however they offer a disproportionate amount of seating vs volume of diners and vendors.

A. L.

Its a lovely place but quite an expensive place to get food from. Also the layout of seating and tables made it seem even more crowded than it was.

A.

My children inexplicably love the Colombo. It's partially for the sushi stand and partially for the decorations.

S.

Boutique shopping for Homewares and women's fashion. Excellent upmarket foodcourt with organic options. Great meeting place. Also boutique move theater

S.

Great place to wear your shades indoors.

c.

Stylie boutiques, healthy food options, love the English Tea Shoppe there before we head for a movie.

S. S.

Just a lovely place to spend some time with interesting shops and cafes. Especially lived The Lip Lounge for custom blended lipsticks.

S. L.

Nice friendly place some good shops but nothing appealing enough to buy just called in before going to the movies

C.

The mall all malls should inspire to Be, a great social vibe with a cool communal food court, only negatives is that the mall needs a bit more parking.

L. J.

Good Shopping Centre for different things. Smith's City is handy here too.

L. H.

Oh my God you have to get a toasted gourmet sandwich there they are to die for. My daughter and I go all the way from south Hornby every weekend just to have one. Lovely staff.

M. E.

First time I have been there. And it was super awesome. Lovely shops and nice places to sit and have a munch and coffee

W. B.

Been a while since I'd visited The Colombo previously. Great stores and good spots for coffee. Has real vibe and energy.

A. K.

Great if you're a hipster or an old person. If you just want to go to their flagship store, spotlight, be prepared to mingle with different folk.

J. K.

Very busy & nice place to Lunch. My friend and I enjoyed it here today.

S.

Great mini mall , nice healthy food places,1st time visit and l will be going back.

P.

Good food & coffee. Interesting shops. Great art cinema. Problem - not enough parking & restricted time limits.

D.

So good

S. K.

Great food, classy shops. Beats those massive impersonal malls because it has class

H. R.

Interesting and busy eating venue. Not so positive for shops that dont deal with coffee and food.

O. F.

Awesome little shopping mall with awesome coffee shops and a cool vibe. Cool place to go on a rainy day or a stop through town

P.

Exceptional shopping centre with lots of fashionable shopping and stores. There are no large franchise stores there so the quality of the service is high. Fantastic place.

J.

Eclectic group of shops, l love it, just the place to buy something unusual, and not expensive

K.

Lovely shops but live in opposite side of town now. Only go if I have a specific reason

f.

The Colombo is a great shopping experience for boutique shops without the crowds and noise of big malls. No fast food or chain stores!

K. W.

There is not much to do here except waste money. Nice food clothes and furniture but all very expensive. Yuppieville! Do try the dumplings though

J. P.

Has changed alot! Unfortunately didnt enjoy my time there. To crowed and the carpark is terrible, not to mention someone backed into me, because it's to small. Wont be coming back.

L.

I had a nice coffee with friends at the Underground Coffee Roasters.

F. F.

I love this place, it has the best uniquely quirky retail stores and gourmet fast food eateries.

M.

Great ambience, great food, great coffee especially the sandwiches and macarons!!!

A. K.

Different feeling as the hub is filled with food cafes almost on every corner... Parking during peak hours might be a bit of a hassle.

M. A.

Nice place heaps of place to get food. We had macaroon from one of the shop and it was lovely easy to find parking.

E. l.

Nice little mall for an afternoon tea and boutique shoppings. I like it when there's occasional street artists/music and weekend special bakeries pop ups.

P. G.

Awesome boutique shopping centre with a selection of everything. Great food and coffee available. Clothing shops are equally awesome.

S. R.

I absolutely love this place, great shops, cinema, food outlets & people watching.good parking.the place is buzzing.

L.

I had bacon and eggs and the eggs were cold because they were served in a cold plate. However the bacon was done as per my request (very crisp), which was good.

M. B.

A fahionistas dream. Food choice is good but not gf. Only cold drinks from each outlet. Toilets clean

D.

Nice shops, struggles with parking spaces but there is plenty to see, eat and buy. Oh... and awesome vegetarian dumplings

K.

Great place for lunch, lot of variety of food.

J. S.

The place is lively, just not enough choices of shops for my liking, but a nice place if you want to go shopping somewhere that has choices but not to many.

F.

Easy to walk round

O. H.

Not a big mall but for its size the shops were great to visit and the small eateries covered a good range.

C. B.

Great shopping centre. Some good food options and non mainstream stores make for a good experience.

P.

Lots of different shops, lots of different food outlets, but we couldn't find any food places that had nice, simple sandwiches.

M.

There was that cosy village feel, waltzing through here & great store frontage to see wares. There old lampposts with signs for store locations.

K. H.

Great place to sit and watch the world go by, good selection of shops, good healthy food to eat, no McDonald's here, yay!!!!!!

It's pretty arrogant, mostly middle aged women from merivale and people in suits. However you can't beat a wander around Spotlight.

S.

Nice place to catch up with friends, like the different selection in the food court.

S.

Great mall with lots of options for eating and shopping. A big car park out the back too.

H. N.

Lovely vibe - upmarket feel yet casual and some delightful cafe's in the middle with less seen treats!

The food stores and spotlight are good. Some very expensive shops for a poor area

C.

Great place for a catch up with freinds

J.

Nice small mall for nice clothing stores, spotlight and some food outlets

You want funk? You want fast times at lunch times? Do you eat? This is the place where life just happens to happen. Be there or fail.

Neat little shopping mall and a great food court, no big box fast food here.

Some very lovely shops to explore and wonderful cafes to enjoy

m.

Good food there, but not enough stores.

A bit pricey but different selection of food. Watch out for the car park, you will get a ticket if you are over the time limit even by 10min!

S. H.

Great small shopping centre with a large craft store, delicious food, higher end clothing stores, decorating shops and jewellery stores.
