It's a very busy, bustling market, if you like that sort of thing. There were a lot of vendors, as well as a large selection of food stalls to choose from, although the wait times were quite long. We enjoyed a tasty sweet and sour chicken pie from one of the stalls as we walked around. Beautiful selection of freshly cut flowers, herbs and plants for sale. Loved seeing all the paragliders as well!

Well known for excellent and varied Artisan food and delicious type delicacy. The cheesecake from the garden of Aiden is truly "Simply the best" Go early and hungry.

Large variety of fresh produce & foods to choose from. And your furry friends are most welcome

We arrived early so parking was not a problem. When walking into the market we were greeted by the delightful music and singing of a local group, authentic Cape sounds and lyrics. The stalls have high quality artisan food, produce and baked goods at affordable prices. Cash is rewarded with discounts but card machines were available at most stalls. The venue is pet friendly with lots of people walking with dogs on leashes. The food stalls provide delicious meals prepared fresh and very quickly. A definite MUST as an outing.
