Love it here. It goes til midday-1pm. But get there early (8-9am), to get the steak sammies before they go! Although there is always a variety of food to chose from such as dumplings, satay sticks, hot chips, pancakes -savoury and sweet, donuts, hot coffee etc. There is also a variety of nic nacs, plants, bric-a-brac, clothing, manuka honey, soaps, arts and crafts to suits all tastes, and occasions. There is a seated area where you can take a load off and listen to the sweet sounds. And of course afterwards you can take a beautiful stroll around Kuirau park itself, take the kids to play on the popular playground or grab some kai from one of the food stalls and have a picnic...
