This Wallace Bishop shop has a very nice range of gold and silver jewellery. The sales staff are very helpful and attentive. Some of their jewellery is quite pricey so iit is best to shop when they have one of their sales on.

This cafe is great if you have kids as there is a good playground right outside the cafe. However the menu here is very small and does not have much variety. Is an alright cafe if you just go for tea or coffee.

This is my favourite hairdresser in the Maitland area. All the ladies that work here are really professional and friendly. They don't overcharge at all and best of all they always do a good job whether it's a hair trim or a hair dye.

Approximate cost: $40

East Maitland Newsagency is a great local Newsagency. It has an ABC shop which is great as it's the only ABC shop in Maitland. You can buy gifts,itunes vouchers,chips,icecreams and cold drinks from this shop. There is also an impressive supply of magazines and newspapers.The staff are lovely as well.

This is the best chiropractor in the Maitland area. I have been to a few but this one id by far the best. Appointments don't take long and the female chiropractor is very gentle on my back and I always leave with my back feeling straighter. They do see pregnant patients here.

Lorn Newsagents is a newsagent and post office in one. There have a good stock of the most popular magazines. The lolly selection is also well stocked and popular with most local children. They have milkshakes and meat pies for sale as well. Great service and in a handy location as well.

This establishment is a restaurant and also a pub. The meals here are reasonably priced and you get big servings. The food is scrumptious and the staff are friendly.

Big W at Maitland has a great selection of clothes for woman, men and children. They also have an extensive range of dvd's for the whole family. It's the kind of store where you can get something for most people at a low price. This store is normally clean and I enjoy shopping here regularly.

This is one of the best stores for baby and children's clothes in Maitland. The prices are reasonable and they have adorable baby and children's clothes. I don't buy woman's clothes from them but I do buy pyjamas and underwear from them. When they have sales, you can buy some heavily discounted clothes!

I shop here quite frequently. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. I do find that the Maitland Jeans West store sells out of certain sizes quickly. What I love about this store is they have good 2 for the price of 1 deals on their tops and pants. They also have a fantastic range of stylish scarves!
