Do you want to get all your Christmas shopping done in one location but you dread battling your way through the crowds at a HUGE shopping centre?

Well Northern Beaches and Northern Sydney families are in luck because the rejuvenated Warriewood Square shopping centre has had some key new openings.

Now you really do not need to shop anywhere else.

So if you want to keep it simple and keep it local but still want to find all the gifts you need, from mainstream to quirky, check out Warriewood Square.

The popular Santa’s Beach Hut is open now!

An invitation to visit Warriewood Square came right at the perfect time for me. I’d been at Warringah Mall two weekends in a row and felt I’d had enough of the SIZE and the amount of people.  I’d decided to try to do all the Christmas shopping without setting food in a megamall again. But where?

Well, Warriewood is a great size, it feels manageable and yet it’s got the lot in terms of shops.

But let’s start off with all the fun stuff that’s happening in Warriewood in December.

Warriewood Square Kids Play Areas

If your kids need to run around and play for a while, you’ll find this delightful playspace just outside Kmart.

Love the Northern Beaches surfboard theme.

Gorgeous wooden animals for toddler play, you can see Santa’s Beach Hut sparkling away in the background

Warriewood shopping centre really does have everything you need under one roof. It’s easy to park and it’s not completely overwhelming like the megamalls are.

PLUS, there’s a great wee Wetlands walk nearby and even a little walk to a waterfall up the road.  Warriewood’s Rocket Park is an adventurous playground that is just a short drive away.

Always terrific for kids and adults to get some fresh air and exercise after shopping.

Merry Christmas!
