Morgue like atmosphere. Retailers do their best. Limiting access and having temporary fencing for over a month to put a new roof on probably deterred shoppers more than usual. Needs some new ideas to support the retailers. Always empty units.

The owners or the centre management are killing this shopping centre...if COLES wasn't there, nobody would go to it

Just enough shops to survive, needs a bigger upgrade

Coles is good. Fruit shop is good. To many sushi places and nail salons. No butcher :(

It s getting worse, nothing is growing here. No investment, what gives?!

I don't shop here unless I absolutely have to. I will drive straight past Bellbowrie Shopping Centre on my way to Kenmore Coles/woolies or Pullenvale IGA. Bellbowrie Shopping Centre is an absolute shambles. Our community deserves better than a suite of empty tenancies with a few determined shops battling it out to keep theirheads above water. I truly feel for the retailers in the centre, at face value it seems like a fine place to conduct businesses but in reality very few vendours are able to stand the test of time thanks to the unconscionable behaviour of the money hungry centre management. The centre itself is in a state of disrepair and I have seen and documented several dangerous trip hazards including a very sharp drain grate protruding onto the roadway of the centre carpark. I have never had a pleasant run-up with the vile woman who evidently owns this sorry excuse for a centre. She is regularly seen hovering over her janitorial staff berating them as they try to work, she rudely interrupts customer transactions to scald vendours and she walks into tenancies "back-of-house" with no prior consent believing she has supreme right to do so as the owner of the premises. I love our community,I love our retailers I even used to love our dinky little Bellbowire Shops but it has been driven into the ground by selfish landlords, greedy to turn greater profits at the cost of a functional shopping centre.

This is where I ate hard cooked rice. Lovely tea at low price

Too many Asian food shops. Some variety would be nice.

Well nothing much in this place and not worth the trip

Although I live in Bellbowrie I never use this shopping centre. Very poorly managed and rundown.

Only a quick visit to a local restaurant but the meal and service was great. Thought the place was well set out and parking, at that time of night, was easy.

Very Clean, lovely big carpark, with undercover parking. The Coles Sueprmarket, the Discount Store and the doctor's are the 'main attractions''. There is also a lovely fruit shop, and a lovely hair salon, apart from those the majority of other shops are take away food. ..so not too much variety here!! More variety would make this a 5 star plaza!

Bad choice if shops. Small and lots of Asian food. Not much else.

Smallish shopping centre with a Coles and a chemist. Good convenient local centre.

Seriously, this setup is little better than a public toilet!

Popped in to use ATM and toilets in mall on my first visit to Bellbowrie area. Clean facilities.

Very dated shopping plaza with many empty shops. Where is the long promised Woolworths?

This used to be a bustling shopping centre. After the 2012 floods many of the great shops moved away as the managers were trying to make them pay rent whilst there shops were flooded. We now have Coles, Terry White Chemist 2 hairdressers a great coffee shop ( MoccaBellas ) a fantastic green grocer, BWS, Snap Fitness and a learn to swim school and 2 sushi shops, bakery and a great fish and chip shop. Unfortunately many new shops don't last as the managers of the centre are nosey & rude. The woman manager walked in to chemist one day whilst I was being served and just walked straight into the room where the pharmacist was, unfortunately for her it was the room where the safe was for all the hard drugs, she was told to leave the room but said as she owned the place she could go anywhere she wanted. The pharmacist then told her that if she walked in and went behind the counter again the would call the police. It was a great day.

Too many shops vacant. Not enough variety of shops. No newsagents. No hardware.

Coles has no choice of products, and bugger all choice of brands, its Coles brand or one other brand.
Is convenient that's all.. As to the rest of the plaza........ Fish n chip shop is good. Other than that, meh.

Shops are mostly empty and the ones that are there are mostly uninteresting

Great place to dine with ample parking. Hats off to the kitchen staff and venue, as the food was awesome.

It's getting slowly better! **This review does not reflect the stores in the shopping complex only the centre itself.**

The centre is still lacking many shops

Ghost town with some bright spots. Centre owners behaviour seems to show they are only interested in cash.

Purely go here because of the convenience of Coles. With two smaller shopping centres opening within ten minutes of here, people will have more options soon. Entire centre has been on the decline for ages. Indian restaurant (spicy affair) is top notch!

The shopping centre has too many vacant shops and management seems to think large oppressive signs is an attractive look. However many of the shops here are great and the GP located in this centre is excellent.

The Shopping Centre is quite small. I go there only for a haircut at Media, S. This place is 5 star

Very few shops. The management/owners are not good. There are a few great shops there like Mocabella cafe, mellies hair salon and the fruitere, they are worth the visit.

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. Most of the shops are empty, broken tiles all over the place. It's gross.

It's a Great Little Shopping centre to get all your Basic needs , without having to Drive 15 min back Kenmore

Coles supermarket, good Cafe, average Asian restaurant, Fitness gym, Japanese "Sushi 79" ~ good food, good prices, Japanese Sushi & Meals - also good food&prices, Pharmacy, Hairdresser, Nail salon.

Great little shopping centre, with a Woolworths, bakery, coffee shop and a few other shops.

Very basic, nothing special but good enough for standard shipping.

It's easy to park and the staff all seem a good sort. it is all together however a rather depressing place. The space seems ill thought out and you have the impression that it had dreams of being a more vibrant hub but has come headlong into the dull reality of aging suburbia.

High end brands, great fashion, beautiful surrounds. If you're after these things do not come here. If you want something from Coles, you're in luck, although it's not a fancy Coles, just a basic one, so don't expect anything special. The highlight of the centre would be the public toilets.

Limited choice of shops and products. No Australia Post outlet.

It's a good shopping plaza with a discount store, nail salon, hair salon, great restaurants and a Coles. Would definitely recommend.

You'll find a local fruit shop, awesome & busy coffee shop (highly recommend their coffee) coming from a coffee lover sushi, Coles (this Coles could do with a reno&more staff) bottle shop, chemist, bargain store, fish&chips, hair salon, real estate. Public toilets.

Nice and clean as usual, enjoyed the lunch and coffee with my daughter and grandson today at moccabella coffee shop.

Lots of empty shops. Not much of a vibe. Only go there if I have to. It's local. Coles and the alcohol store are the draw cards.

Great little shopping centre, including a Woolworths, a really good bakery and a few more. It's a very convenient little shopping centre.

A rude asian woman in a strange yellow outfit came over to me claiming that she was centre management and started ranting to me saying that I wasn't allowed to have my dog in the shopping centre area (even though it is outdoors). She was saying how there are signs everywhere saying No Dogs. I looked around and couldn't see any, even as I eventually and reluctantly went near the car park, there were no signs. All I was doing was waiting for fellow comrades that had gone to Coles. I was just standing outside near Baker's Delight. A woman walking past with her daughter at the time saw what was going on and gave me a look, like she understood how lame it was.

I've never been so offended by someone dressed as a teletubby in my entire life!

Indian and Vietnamese here come highly recommended. Can't say the same for the service at the Pizza Hut franchise. Other than that it's a great local centre!

Great place given the shops that are in it, would like to see more shops open there in the near future which will result in a higher rating

Lovely little shopping centre with excellent restaurant/cafe

Does this shopping centre really need 4 asian takeaway stores, no it was good with 2. Owners are the worst shopping centre owners.

Nice Village style Shopping Centre with a Full line Coles Supermarket and speciality stores, Japanese Restaurant, Bakery, Vietnamese takeaway, Tavern and Liquor store.

Shopping centre is already dead. Soon coles will move too
Not sure how long this establishment gonna last after the departure of coles. Management sucks.

Ok for groceries. Nice fruit shop, small Japanese restaurant, Indian and fisho

Great place if you like sushi with your nail polishing, hardly any other choices though !! This place pulls down our nice suburb. Sadly the owners don't seem to care. Business' don't last too long here. Always has a half tenanted derelict feel about it. Its a pity one entity can control all the shopping in our area :(
