See the Water Sculpture at Hornsby Mall
skyangel_k1 Says: Besides walking around the shopping centre, take a look at the giant bronze water sculpture located outside at Hunters Mall. It is entirely worked by water. Amazing. Don't stand too close to it on a windy day or you may get sprayed by the fountain.
Wok King BBQ Noodle Bar: Order The Laska!
Kitty82 Says: Wok King is located on level 3 of Westfield Hornsby in the foodcourt. Being in the foodcourt, it is always busy, but even so their service is always very fast. They specilise in rice and noodle dishes and prices can range from $8-$20. I always order the Chicken Laska best...
Fish & Chips Hornsby: Old Style Fish and Chips.
Kitty82 Says: I love love love this Fish & Chip shop! Shaun and I refer to the owners as 'the old greek couple' - I dnt know why - probably because they are greek and old - and I mean this is a good way! They do the BEST chips - and even though it is full of oil they are just so tasty....
Kitty82 Says: If your running a bit low on cash and want a cheap meal go the Pho Nhon. Pho Nhon is a Vietnamese restaurant and is seriosly value for money. I walk past this restaurant everyday on my way home from work and it is always busy. Shaun and I went here once and for an entree, 2...
Olive Bar and Grill: Great Eggs Bennidict
Kitty82 Says: Olive Bar and Grill is located between the water clock and the train station and is very popular. All the people that I know have been there at least a dozen times. Shaun and I go for the all day breakfast but they also have an awesome lunch and dinner menu. Favorite Dish...
Absolute Thai: Love the Fish Curry!
Kitty82 Says: When my dad comes up to Sydney from Melbourne to work - this is usually the place we come to. The restaurant is part of Hornsby Westfeild - but has outside dining which can make it sometimes noisy - especially when they have a band play outside - to be honest you can hardly...
Kitty82 Says: In general the RSL is a great place to come - the restaurant is always busy. There are two bistro's serving a variety of dishes as well as 3 bars - including a sports bar. The main reason why we go on a Sunday is for the meat raffle. For example a month ago we won 5 MASSIVE...
GCM's Bistro: Order The Pizza's!
Kitty82 Says: GCM's Bistro is part of the Hornsby Inn. Recently under new management, the change saw a new refreshed menu. Although Im not a 'regular' diner here, I have had one or two items off the menu. One being the pizza's. They are delicious. We order the 'pig and potato' which is...
Kitty82 Says: More like a 'take-away joint' than a dine-in restaurant, this has to be the BEST noodle place in Hornsby. I have been comming here at least once a fortnight ever since Shaun introduced me to it. Value is the key here - for $9 you get a noodle box FULL of noodles. One box...
Kitty82 Says: 'The Old Pub' or the 'oldie' as everyone knows it as is the closest thing we have to a nightclub - and that only really gets going on a Saturday night. The Oldie was notorious for fights and really got a bad name for itself but over that past couple of years it has really...
Kitty82 Says: More like a workers pub then a flash pub you would have a romantic night out at, 'The Inn' as it is commonly known is located in the centre of Hornsby and 'so convenitly' located on my way home from work. Comprising of a restaurant, bar and gaming area, its busiest (and most...
Kitty82 Says: If you dont have a car or public transport just isnt your thing, there is a taxi rank right outside Hornsby train station. Obviously price vary's depending on where you want to go. It is quite a large rank so you shouldnt be waiting long if at all.
Kitty82 Says: As well as catching the train there is also a number of bus services that can get you to and around Hornsby. You will find the bus rank just outside the station (pacific hwy side) with a number of routes to take around the surronding suburbs of Hornsby. If you are looking at...
Kitty82 Says: Hornsby Station is a major transport hub for commuters either travelling south the city or north to the central coast. Again right in the CBD of hornsby it is extreamly handy! I catch the train everyday to work which is straight down the north shore line to the city taking...

Westfield Hornsby: Westfield Hornsby has EVERYTHING!!
Kitty82 Says: I have decided to reveiw Westfield as a whole rather than singular shops as it is probably just like any other Westfield around. It has 3 stories of everything you need - Coles, Woolies and Aldi's (supermarkets) as well as your usual newsagents, Kmart, Target other clothes...

Because the shopping centre actually consists of two buildings joint by a bridge and a mall courtyard outside, there are many entrances and exits at the mall and many people have gotten lost or have been disoriented with where they had left their car. I have been in this embarrassing situation the first time I went to the mall. It took me over 2 hours to get to my car, all the while lugging my heavy trolley of groceries. Taking note of which floor you parked at is not good enough. Keep your car ticket with you always. Make sure you take note of the entrance you came in from and the zone/colour of the zone as well. This is because the entrances and exits are named after streets eg Muriel St, Burdett, Albert and further exits lead to Pacific Highway or Edgeworth David. Pedestrian exits can also lead to Florence or George Streets.
In case you really get lost, the fastest is to go to the Information Desk. Don’t approach the security guards. They do try very hard to help, but they do not know as much about the car parks as they deal mainly with internal security issues only. The Information Desk personnel deal with this situ a lot (now I know!!) and from your car ticket, they can tell you where your car could be parked. They will also send one or two car park guards with you to help you look for your car, and help you with your groceries as well. That is REAL service!

Favorite thing: If you are travelling with pets and need a place to board them, I would recommend Marendale at Terry Hills/Duffys Forrest. It is about 30 mins from Hornsby. I feel that it is one of the better ones around the area.
Address: 1 Bibbenluke Ave, Duffy's Forest.
Tel: 9450 1529
www.marendale.com.au
Dropping off: 8am - 12 noon
Pick up: 8am - 4pm
Closed on Sundays and public holidays.
You can get to it by following the Pacific Highway towards the city from Hornby and turning off at Mona Vale Road towards Mona Vale/Terry Hills. After Bonds Nursery, turn left into the sign which says Waratah Park / McCarrs Road which will lead you to Bibenluke Road and eventually, Marrendale at the end of it. The website offers very clear instructions and a good map as well.
Fondest memory: This pet boarding centre takes cats and dogs. Your pet needs to have all the proper vet papers or your pet won't be accepted, and you need to book in advance. Your cat can be pampered to the extent of having its own VIP deluxe garden suite. Your dog, can have its own room mate or its own room.
You can also opt to have a bath given to it at the end of the stay, or to have it de-fleaed. If your pet requires special medication, they do take great care with that and have a white board with all the boarders names and what treatments they require and at what time, etc.
I find the place clean and organised.
