SweetsWorld has two local stores where you can pick up chocolate, lollies and gifts in person: Darrell Lea / Kards & Kandy at Westfield Kotara, and Darrell Lea at Stockland Green Hills in East Maitland.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where are SweetsWorld’s lolly shops in the Newcastle area?
We have two stores. Darrell Lea / Kards & Kandy is at Shop 1029, Westfield Kotara, which is the closest store for Newcastle and Lake Macquarie. Darrell Lea at Shop 1089, Stockland Green Hills in East Maitland is the closest store for Maitland and the Hunter Valley. Both are inside the shopping centres, so parking and access follow the centre’s arrangements.
What are the store opening hours?
Both stores open during their shopping centre’s trading hours, which can change on public holidays and during late-night trading periods. The easiest way to check is to call the store before you visit: Kotara on 02 4952 4243 or East Maitland on 02 4017 7177.
Can I check whether a product is in stock before I visit?
Yes. The in-store range is smaller than the online range and changes with the seasons, so if you are after something specific, call the store you plan to visit and the team can check the shelf for you. If it is not in store, it may still be available to order online.
Is the online range the same as the in-store range?
No. The online store carries a much wider range, including bulk bags, imported American, British and Japanese sweets, and gift boxes that are not stocked in the shopping centre stores. The stores focus on Darrell Lea favourites, gifts and seasonal lines.
How long does online delivery take if I live in the Hunter?
In-stock online orders are generally dispatched within 1–2 business days from our East Maitland store, then delivered by Australia Post. Delivery times depend on your address and the shipping option you choose at checkout. Standard shipping is a flat $10.59 and free on orders over $80, and Express shipping is available.
