About
A lifestyle centre that includes shops, restaurants and galleries -all situated in a garden-like environment, with lovely trees and walkways. Here you can also learn about the making of coffee and Gin and visit a busy foundry. There is a small cinema, which is a delight - especially as you can take in your wine or even get a pizza delivered. The centre also has a theatre, mostly catering for live music, a music development academy and a vintage car museum. All of this with a hotel attached and within striking distance of the Kruger Park.
Duration: 1-2 hours

First time at this hotel. We were in the area visiting friends. Most importantly I felt safe at this hotel and the location was perfect. Shopping and two restaurants are within walking distance. The staff was very nice and accommodating. The room was fairly basic...I would say 3 stars by US standards. I would stay here again.

This was a lovely stop and the coffee shop was a definite must. Besides freshly brewed, specialist coffees, the scones and chocolate cake is a must.

Whether you have a sweet tooth, crave coffee or a glass of wine this centre caters to all. Handmade knives, art, jewelry, wooden furniture, chocolate, vintage cars, restaurants or movies you will find all here.
We have been stopping here a few times a year for several years and we always enjoy this outing.
There is also a lovely little antique shop across the road. I can't remember the name, but it's hard to miss and m.worth finding.

The centre has a couple of interesting shops with unique furniture and liqueurs. The museum is an interesting place to scratch around for items from years gone by. It would appear that the pressure on the economy has caused some shops to close down and the maintenance to be neglected.

We went in search of the car museum and ended up at the Casterbridge lifestyle centre. Unfortunately the motor museum does not exist anymore but you can still view a view of these motors a the vintage shop in this centre. There is at least 2 good rest

This is a relaxed style centre with an interesting and diverse mix of shopping, entertainment and dining. Really worth a visit if you are passing through or a regular stop for residents. Lots of smaller, independent retail outlets, an intimate theater, large motor museum and several dining options. A real asset to the area.

There are open areas but as my kids are grown up I did not look for these facilities.
