Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Shruti-PramodBengaluru, India185 contributionsVisited here in the afternoon on Jan-2, 2025 by accessing it from the Michelangelo Towers mall.
A huge statue of Nelson Mandela for photo ops & behind it on the walls to both sides are boards detailing key moments from his life.
In front of the statue are water fountains & eateries / cafes / shops & even the library.Written 7 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

From arrival until we left we were treated with warmth and engagement.
We had large booking and everyone enjoyed the day.
Besides the praws not being available there was a big variety to choose from.

- Malcolm CAmsterdam, The Netherlands13 contributionsA really pleasant surprise to find so close to the northern suburbs. Great entertainment for our six year old grandchild. The staff were superb and really knowledgable and in touch with the wildlife. The food was also really good. The multiple kids parties were testament to their poularity.Written 7 August 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rf3125Maplewood, MN127 contributionsLilies Leaf is a very great museum to learn about the raid on Lilies Leaf and the operations at the farm. It is a must-visit in the Johannesburg area. The staff are very kind and helpful.Written 31 July 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Prateek SDublin, Ireland652 contributionsThis is a food market ( with almost no fresh produce, so don't be mislead by the 'farmer' in the name) with a variety of cusines served across the different stalls.
The setting is quite relaxing with live bands/DJs/ open air bars and picnic style seating.
There is a 10 rand fee to enter and the place gets quite crowded during the weekends.
Definetely a fun afternoon out with family and friends.Written 19 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andrew BLincoln, UK12,147 contributionsThis was my second visit within a year to watch Test cricket here. - this time for SA v England As before I stayed at the nearby Protea Wanderers Hotel which is a c 10 minute walk through the Wanderers Club grounds to the stadium.
By British standards the tickets are incredibly cheap R700 in total for the first four days - say £40, for great view seats in the shade in the Unity pavilion - not a pavilion in reality. On the fourth day for flexibility I bought tickets for the grassy bank (£5) and the wooden stand - £3 albeit the latter would easily fail a UK Health and Safety check.
This is an iconic cricket stadium with a great atmosphere and you really only appreciate the aura of the ground when you are actually on the playing surface. There are excellent eating facilities all around the ground, usually at the back of the stands and toilets are good and well maintained. Plenty of bars open although they do tend to sell Castle lager but it does seem to keep the locals in good spirits.
From my experience there are few Test grounds in the world where you can lie on the grass and watch a Test match in action. Although this ground is not Newlands, the SCG or Lords it is easy to get to from the UK ( no connecting flights needed) and there are good hotels in walking distance.
Well worth a visit even if England aren't playing.Written 16 April 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Joanita RMalaga, Spain460 contributionsWe recently watched a ballet at the Teatro.
The performance was absolutely world class. The teatro is a well equipped venue with ample seating.
The entertainment was very good and the cast was available after the show for photos and autographs.
Although this is not a budhet friendly activity, it is well worth it.Written 2 June 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - maameda4Greater Accra, Ghana14 contributionsLove this mall.
Anytime I travel for business to South Africa I visit this mall at least 3 times. I have learnt to take just the amount I need else I end up buying everything I see because they have such high quality goods.Written 11 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Michelle R1 contributionWhen you walk through the doors at Art Eye Gallery it feels like stepping through time and space. The upmarket, open plan gallery has the look and feel of something out of the movies, but is 100% grounded in its South African roots. Expect a warm welcome from Ty and Nonhlanhla & an excellent cup of coffee whilst they leave you to simply enjoy the experience and find whatever piece speaks to you most. And there are so many wonderful pieces to look at, with something new to see each time, a true display of the talent this country has to offer.
Excellent service at all times, including professional advice on framing. An absolute must if you are looking for contemporary African art. Can’t wait for my next visit.Written 14 June 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
