    The gallery is located at the back of Marlene's house. The gallery contains some of her best work and showcases her unique artistic development process. Copies of these are for sale in various sizes at very reasonable prices. The garden offers some additional interesting features to create a beautiful scene for an hour or two. Pleasantly surprised by the work and friendly reception received.

    We really enjoyed our visit to the museum with two boys aged 6 and 3. I did however have hayfever when we walked out. The museum cleanera needs to step up and do their work thoroughly!

    Outdoor fun for sure!
    The Dassie Trail is a wonderful meander along the river. The path is flat and fairly well maintained all the way to the end.
    Everyone enjoyed a picnic and swim on the river at the end of the trail.

    It really was a wet and windy day today, but we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and rounded it off with a pint at the pub by the fire. Owner couldn’t have been more welcoming and took time out to talk to the little ones about the snakes and lizards.

    The aquarium has interesting board of people and families that adopted the peguins. Arrive early of you want to enjoy feeding time, thats where most to visitors come for feeding time.

    Aquarium has diverse wildlife including old tortoises. I don't know if they allow picnic lunches or birthdays parties inside, need to ask that next time.

    This mall has all the shops that you need from Woolworth to Montagu and clicks. There are the normal coffee shops/restaurants and everything is close by. No need to walk km to get from one end to the next.

    Interesting gallery that has a good collection of local artists work for sale as well as a decent permanent exhibition showcasing some very well known artists.
