Windermere Shopping Centre
Windermere Centre has been a firm favourite among Morningside residents for many years as a meeting place and shopping destination catering for just about every need. The centre offers shoppers a mix of retailers that provide for day-to-day necessities as well as life’s little luxuries. Windermere Centre underwent an extensive renovation a few years back and is very accessible, and free parking makes shopping a breeze. Several entrances and exits welcome pedestrians and the installation of a lift makes visiting multiple shops extremely convenient, with or without a trolley. There are offices situated at the centre and residential flats above the shopping mall. As a result, Windermere Centre has become a landmark in Durban and a regular meeting place for the community.
Durban Car Boot Fleamarket
The Car Boot Fleamarket is the oldest of its kind in the city of Durban, having been established in 1992. It is situated on the old circus site behind the Greyville Racecourse and offers plenty of free parking for those wanting to peruse the many stalls. It is also kept safe and secure by experienced security personnel. It is a great option for the thrifty buyer. This market is open every Sunday from the early morning.
I Heart Market
For 10 years, the I Heart Market has been a community of makers who have been creating a platform for local design, craft, fashion and food and providing a retail space for local creatives – a great day out in pleasant surroundings. On the first Saturday of every month from 9am – 2pm, Durbanites and visitors, friends and family gather at the Hay Store, corner of Albert Terrace and Camperdown Road on the Point to meet the makers,
people watch, eat great food and support local artisans and crafters. Expect fashion, jewellery, home décor, kiddies wear, plants, natural skin care, deli goods, accessories, vintage collectibles, art, ceramics and delicious foods. December is when three markets are held on each Saturday before Christmas.
The Bunny Chow is Durban’s most famous street food that is well worth a try.
