Shopping in and around Carolina
October 19, 2023
Whether you’re stocking up on everyday necessities or searching for something a little bit special, Carolina spoils you for choice with a host of quality shopping options nearby.
Close to home and overlooking the glistening Lake Caroline, CS Square and the adjacent Central Shopping Centre located in Caroline Springs are home to over 120 shops and eateries, including major supermarkets and grocers, cafes and restaurants, specialty stores, health and beauty, banking, travel, fashion and everyday services. In fact, you’ll find pretty much everything modern life demands, and it’s all just a five-minute drive from home at Carolina.
Equally quick to reach, the newly-built Home.Co Woodlea Town in Aintree which offers fresh food stores, a supermarket, casual dining and a range of health and lifestyle services in a relaxed, contemporary retail centre surrounded by lush lawns and attractive gardens. Its smaller size, ample parking, and close proximity to Carolina, make it ideal for picking up life’s essentials or grabbing a cheeky mid-week takeaway.
For similarly intimate dining and handy take-home meals and drinks – as well as a bit of pampering for both guys and girls – Springlake Shopping Centre should be on your radar. While it may be one of the smaller shopping plazas in the region, its tranquil setting beside a trio of landscaped lakes, makes it perfect for lunch while watching the local waterbirds, or a relaxed evening out with the family when you want a break from cooking.
At the other end of the scale, with over 200 stores and services under a single roof, the vast Watergardens Shopping Centre is one of Victoria’s largest retail destinations, and it’s only 15 minutes from Carolina.
Host to major brands, an array of boutique offerings and even a cinema and entertainment complex, the centre itself is just part of the even bigger Watergardens and Taylors Lakes retail complex, where you’ll also find well-known superstores covering hardware, home electrical, tech and office, furniture, outdoors, pet supplies, and automotive needs. With its vibrant events calendar, walking group, and fitness and wellbeing facilities, Watergardens is more than just shopping – it’s your one-stop lifestyle destination when you live nearby, at Carolina.
