 | |  |  | the 4 main Shopping Malls: One-stop shopping | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
After living here for 4 weeks, so far I've located these 6 malls in Chch. There are probably more, but this will get you started: The Palms Northlands Eastgate Riccarton Bush Inn Hornby Dressmart The first 5 are conected by "the Orbiter" bus service that runs every 10 mins, but mind you, it takes about 90 minutes for a full circle, so other options are advised, see below. The Palms has a cinema attached to it, so does Hornby. Woolworth's. Pak'n Save. The Bush Inn is smaller than the others, but it covers the basics. Woolworth's. Countdown is just across. Hornby is being renovated and extended as of July 2004. New World. Cinema. Across from Hornby is Dressmart, an outlet store mall, where you may get a good deal. Riccarton is easy to reach by a number of bus services since A LOT of routes stop here to and from town. Located on Riccarton Rd., a busy shopping street itself, if you want/need to escape the mall. Pak'n Save. Northlands. Woolworth's. Pak'n Save. Countdown.
Outdoor gear, fleece and all-weather gear. Woollen sweaters and apparel, but make sure it's "Made in NZ", no point in taking anything else home, is there? Anything "All Blacks", the national rugby team. Usually you will find a sale on last season's items. They seem to make a new collection for every season, but unless you meet a true fan when you get home no one will be able to tell that you went there in 2004 but are wearing 2003 gear...I wouldn't, for sure.

Currently expanding to 50 stores. Eastgate Location: Linwood Ave, Linwood Stores: ~75 Majors: The Warehouse, Farmers, Countdown About: Finished expansion 2003. Huge for the number of shops it has. All the majors are the largest of their type in either the South Island or New Zealand. Hornby Mall Location: Main South Rd, Hornby Stores: ~40 Majors: Farmers, Pak N Save, Movieland About: Small and nothing special really. Still undergoing expansion. Merivale Mall Location: Papanui Rd, Merivale Stores: ~50 Majors: Fresh Choice, Quinns About: Boutique style mall in one of the nicest areas of town. Practically has a dress-code. Specialises in expensive clothing and food. Northlands Location: Main North Rd, Papanui Stores: ~120 Majors: Countdown, Pak N' Save, Hoyts Cinemas, The Warehouse, Farmers About: Expanded greatly 2003, nice setting and design. Largest mall in New Zealand by area. The Palms Stores: ~110 Location: Marshlands Rd, Shirley Majors: Farmers, Reading Cinemas, Woolworths, Kmart About: Finished expanding 2004. Great restaurant precinct called Arena. Coolest looking of the malls with the fanciest architecture. South City Centre Location: Colombo St, City Stores: ~45 Majors: The Warehouse, New World About: Central location, only mall not to have expanded recently and is kind of dated as a result. Westfield Riccarton Stores: ~135 Location: Riccarton Rd, Riccarton Majors: Farmers, Kmart, Hoyts Cinemas, Pak N' Save, Rebel Sport, Borders About: Just finished expansion in 2005. Most stores of any NZ indoor mall. Great setting and cool stores, including the best fashion selection of any mall. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: As people have said, the Orbiter links all the biggest malls, as does the new Metro Star service. They're all fairly simple to find by car, with the biggest ones on major routes out of the city.

| | | | the 4 main Shopping Malls: The biggest one, great on rainy Days and for Shoes | | | | | |
This is Christchurch’s and – nearly logical – the South Island’s biggest shopping mall. You have a choice of 150 shops, and especially if you are looking for shoes this is the place to go. Sometimes I have the impression every second shop is for shoes – and I still do not find what I want LOL There are also some nice clothes and homeware stores, and all the other kinds of shops you find in malls in other countries. If you are used to Westfield Riccarton the other big malls (The Palms, Eastgate, Northlands) get a little disappointing by the time... The integrated supermarket is Pak’n’Save, and there is also a K-Mart for bargains of all kinds. The latter could be interesting for tourists as they have a large choice of tents and all kinds of camping gear. You also find hairdressers, a big food court, a New Zealand Natural ice-cream stall, quite a lot of nice cafés of the main chains (Robert Harris, Muffin Break, Coffee Culture, McCafé etc.), and a Hoyts cinema complex. Although I prefer shopping in the inner city streets (as long as the city planners do not destroy them LOL) such malls are great on a rainy day and if you want to do a lot of things in as little time as possible. And parking is free. And finally, many bus lines pass at Westfield Riccarton, and it is only 10 minutes from the city centre (5 min by car). Shopping hours Mon – Wed 9am – 6pm Thu & Fri 9am – 9pm Sat 9am – 6pm Sun 10am – 6pm Directions: The mall is located west of Hagley Park, so drive around the park and turn into Riccarton Road where Riccarton is indicated. The mall is on the left side of the street. By bus from the Bus Exchange, platform B: #5 Hornby, 19 Burnside, 21 Ilam, 81 Lincoln, 83 Hei Hei, 84 Russley. – Platform C: 3 Avonhead The Orbiter (green bus, see extra tip) makes a loop tour past the major shopping malls but does not go to the Bus Exchange.
