It’s nice with lots of hands made products, things that can’t be found elsewhere. Prices though are on the extreme end, unaffordable unless you are very rich.

I can’t even imagine what it’s like for the people there, but guess it’s designed for tourists.

When we wanted to get some authentic made in Africa souvenirs we came here. We found not only souvenirs, but items you would normally use like clothing, housewares and local teas. The area is indoors an spacious. Outside is a play area our children enjoyed. It is a more natural style play area that I appreciate over the canned playground design.

Lovely market place with local designers and artists. A few cafes and restaurants to rest, free Wi-Fi and a clean, friendly atmosphere.

We stopped into this awesome space to grab breakfast and to do a bit of shopping and we were blown away by the great food and the selection of unique arts and crafts. I purchased several trinkets from jewelry to toys to sandals to take home with me. This space is definitely worth a visit.

Quint little market-like set up, semi open plan. Awesome local designers, artists and restaurants. Go for a massage, have a coffee and browse some unique hand made art and clothing all under one roof. Right next to the aquarium for a day trip. Has a shared working space on the second floor which is really cool. Awesome vibe with brilliant live performers that sound world class. Lots of tourists and friendly faces!

What a vibrant place this is!!

It appeals to everyone from locals to tourists, although South Africans would appreciate it more if it was made cheaper to us in times when tourists are scarce. This is really something to consider as Capetonians would also love to be able to buy and not just window-shop.

I love the vibe of his place. It is right next to the aquarium and there are lots of top-notch African art and textiles, reflexology, light therapy, ( I bought one of these machines), handbags, toys and miniature ornaments which I love and bought, clothing, jewellery, food, etc.and I would never forget to buy juice at the entrance. The best juice ever. 👌

Years ago there was a man who would do shiatsu on you while sitting on a chair and people would gather and to watch and it was amazing.

You could get a reflexology session or back massage and leave feeling like a new person. This is the place to be and just browse, eat and drink and enjoy the day.
