Remarkables Market — Attraction in South Island

Cute farmers market with lots of different food, smoothie, and coffee options. Just 3 stalls selling fresh fruit/veg.

Lot of shops sell manuka honey (certified and cheaper). There are other artisan products and fresh produce for sale if you are interested in...
