Amazing place for a Saturday morning, loads of open air stalls with a variety of good quality, and more than likely home made items and freshly prepared food and drinks. Also lovely outdoor playpark and tractor rides, go kart rides for the kids.
Only things is that there was very few halaal eateries, and the market closed up shop at 2pm, leaving the visitor wondering what to do next. And for a visiting capetonian, this is so strange. In summer time especially, there is at least 6 more hours until sunset, so it would be lovely if the market could close at a later time, say 5pm or 6pm.

For a market known for its variety and quality, this was a significant letdown. Overall, the beverage situation left much to be desired and detracted from the otherwise enjoyable...
