We love going to these markets for the atmosphere and yummy treats available. They have live music and a friendly vibe. There's lots of samples to help you decide what to buy and take home. We generally have lunch here and sit at one of the picnic tables by the river bank enjoying the music. Definitely worth the drive from Auckland, feels like you are on holiday.
Love these markets as the best in local produce is available at very resonable pricing. I love walking through the markets and taking in all the delicious smells. Parking can be very tricky, so the earlier you get there the better! I alwasy leave with a full tummy and a smile on my face and a bag of goodies for later
If you like markets this one is definitely for the taste buds. There is so much local produce and its all of a good quality standard. Its hard not to be tempted into trying all the yummy samples on offer. It has a great atmosphere and is really well laid out and presented. Some saturdays they also have live music playing which is fun to listen too whilst you go about your shopping.
