Brilliant little gem roughly 25 minutes travel from North cliff/JHB Northern suburbs. Just confirm that Food stalls and product stalls are on site.

The glass factory is beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed watching a very talented glass blower show off his skills. The mini stalls were great and reasonably priced and we loved our lunch.
