Located on the East Coast of the country, New South Wales is one of the Australian states and was founded in 1788. Home to the city of Sydney, tourism is an important avenue of income generation for the state, and the presence of Byron Bay and Coffs Harbour adds to its allure. In addition to these two tourist destinations, Port Stephens is also an important attraction that is frequented by travellers. Home to Hawks Nest and One Mile, a Port Stephens resort provides ample access to numerous attractions in the area, including some excellent shopping centres and malls.

Located within walking distance from Oaks Pacific Blue Resort, the Salamander Bay Shopping Centre provides the perfect excuse for tourists to take a break from exploring the city and indulge in some well deserved retail therapy. Open on every day of the year, with the exception of Christmas and Good Friday, this Shopping Centre opens at 9am each day, except on Sundays when it opens at 10am. However, it should be noted that a number of major retailers open at varying times, and if there is a specific retailer you wish to purchase from, opening hours can be clarified online.

The Salamander Bay Shopping Centre is equipped with an Aldi and Coles, both of which are ready to cater to all needs related to groceries while it also hosts retailers such as Target and Woolworths, thus ensuring that its patrons have ample choice in purchasing clothing items. The site also has seasonal events, and to spread some Christmas cheer, the Salamander Bay Shopping Centre has exciting Christmas events such as the Wishing Tree Appeal hosted by Kmart, Santa Photography, and Santa’s arrival while families travelling with children will be thrilled to receive free Christmas show bags packed with edible goodies and sweets as well as arts and crafts.

Therefore, the Salamander Bay Shopping Centre is the ideal place for retail therapy, whether you travel solo, or with your family.
