FOR EVERY CHRISTMAS

As the Christmas season approaches, we find ourselves caught in the delightful whirlwind of festivity and joy. Amid the glittering lights and cheerful carols, we understand that navigating the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping can be a task in itself.

In the spirit of making your Christmas a touch more joyful and a lot less stressful, we’ve gathered some invaluable tips for visiting our centre. Whether you’re navigating the gift aisles, planning festive feasts, or simply soaking in the merry atmosphere, Northlands is here to guide you with practical advice to ensure your holiday shopping experience is filled with ease and delight.

For every Christmas, let Northlands be your partner in turning the holiday frenzy into a joyous and seamless celebration.

 

When to visit:
With an increased amount of people choosing to shop at this time of year, naturally we have an increased traffic flow throughout the centre and the carparks. It’s important to note that sometimes the traffic is from a large visitation to our carparks, however sometimes the traffic is on the surrounding streets and in traffic light phasing; something we have limited control over. If you want to make things easier then we recommend the best time to visit is right when we open (see our opening hours here) and in the two hours before we close. We find our quietest days are on Monday and Tuesdays in the morning or on our late nights, and our busiest times are the weekends. We have also extended some of our hours for your convenience. See these here.

Where to park:
We have a variety of carparks, which are accessible to different areas of the centre, but we’ve outlined the key areas you might wish to visit at this time of year.

  • If you’re looking for our Countdown then we recommend parking in the Countdown carpark off Main North Road, or in the basement underneath Countdown.
  • If you’re looking for our PAK’nSAVE then we recommend parking in the PAK’nSAVE carpark off Sisson Drive, or in the Sisson Drive carpark building.
  • If you’re looking to eat at Langdons Quarter, our dining destination, then we recommend parking in the Langdons Road carpark building, off Langdons Road and Sisson Drive.
  • If you’re looking for Farmers, we recommend parking in our Main North Road carpark.
  • If you’re looking for Whitcoulls, we recommend parking in our Sisson Drive carpark building.
  • If you’re looking for The Warehouse, we recommend parking in our Sisson Drive carpark building.
  • If you’re looking to hire a wheelchair or mobility scooter, or for help and assistance, the park closest to our customer service desk is the Sisson Drive carpark building.
  • And if you’re looking for Santa, our closest carpark to his hangout spot is the Sisson Drive carpark building, along with our gift wrapping stations.
