    Who knows? It depends what you want....there's Botany (not sure if it is a "mall" as much of it is not under cover), Sylvia Park, Albany, various Westfield Centres and all seem to have most of the same shops. Have you tried googling them?

    I vote for Slyvia Park.

    * East to get to, even on public transport (train)
    * All the usual shops, but not as 'sprawly' as the new Albany Westfield
    * Nice places to eat for lunch

    Our local is Albany Westfield but we prefer Sylvia Park for some reason - it just seems better laid out and better shops (?) even though they are really all the same

    Hmm, depends what mood I am in...

    Botany Town Centre and Sylvia park are my two main local ones, and generally you get everything you need from either of those. I quite like either of them for a wander round. Pakuranga Westfield is also pretty close, but its one of the smaller westfields so not hugely thrilling although does boast a pretty big warehouse and the british shop!

    Then you have all the other Westfields - the new Mega one at Albany, followed by various size ones at St Lukes, Henderson, Newmarket etc....

    I also a enjoy a wee trip out to Westgate occasionally for a coffee mostly! But there is a Patch factory outlet there as well as a Bendon one, and a selection of other stores for a wander around.

    Oh and last one I can think of for now is the Dressmart at Onehunga, lots of factory outlet discount stores, recently extended (well last year) and has a pretty good variety of stuff.

    Thats it... I think... can you tell I like going shopping???

    Next time you are over that way or this way, maybe we could meet up for some yummy coffee again? I now have straps to attach a certain child to a chair

    I would pick Botany, cause the outdoor layout is quite nice and also offer indoor shopping areas.
    But seriously, NZ is not a place for shopping I think...hardly shop since moved here.
