Truly Fascinating shop, even just for a visit. But if you like these elements of African manufacturing art it is really well stocked

This place is horrible!!! For starters the staff there are very unfriendly and follow you around like your going to steal something. Second of all the majority of the sculptures were of naked people so it’s not child friendly. The prices are very overpriced. I had an incident while back where they offered to box it up so it’s easier to transport , they took half an hour and when we opened the box, a big piece of the sculpture had broken off and then hadn’t thought to tell Us but instead glue it back on And sell it for full price!!! Not only that’s but they’d had dumped it in the box and throw bubble rap on top. Like that was going to protect it. I’m surprised it didn’t break through transport. This place was definitely a low on my holiday.

The most comprehensive range of African crafts from South Africa and other parts of Africa. Products are expensive and you cannot haggle but they are good quality and make great gifts. The large shop is spread over several floors with the collectors items located on the upper floors and souvenirs on the ground floor. Staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. Large items can be shipped overseas.The shop is situated in a lovely part of the vast V u0026 A Waterfront outside overlooking docks.

A beautiful old building, from outside an eye catcher. Inside, sjoe so lovely, much different stuff to watch and finally to buy the one or other little something. In October 2020 undewr lockdown level 1 restrictions, there was so much space (pity,on ther other hand) to linger and enjoy due to less other touris.
