With the festive season just around the corner, many savvy shoppers are looking to get their gifts bought in good time while planning epic family adventures on the KZN South Coast. Serenity Hills near Margate has it all – great markets, quality stalls, and awesome events (for everyone in the family – pets included!) set within this stunning coastal estate.
“This is such a wonderful time of the year on the KZN South Coast with the weather warming up and visitors coming to enjoy the coast’s incredible natural assets,” Ryne Ferguson, Serenity Hills Estate Manager. “We want to ensure nobody misses out this year which is why we’re announcing all Serenity Hills upcoming markets and events so holidaymakers and residents can plan accordingly. Whether it’s Christmas shopping and family fun or just enjoying some fine dining and drinks at this idyllic venue, Serenity Hills is the place to be.”
The Sweetdale Night Market is the perfect place to get quality gifts, and top-class food and drinks while supporting local craftsmen and sustainable practices – all in a beautiful forest setting. This pet-and-family-friendly market is held on the last Friday of every month within the stunning new eco-focused estate, Serenity Hills. Known for its relaxed atmosphere, Sweetdale Night Market delights attendees with live music, farm-fresh products, mouthwatering food stalls, artisanal creations, fun activities for the kids, and a warm, local vibe.
Visitors are also encouraged to stop in at Sweet Gang & Friends Farm Stall – a cosy yet dynamic hub offering an impressive selection of delicious food and handcrafted treasures. This is a cherished initiative focused on ‘locals supporting local’ and is a great place for holiday visitors to stock up on fresh produce with items such as fresh butter, eggs, and baked goods sold by local suppliers. Alongside the great food and drink offerings, the Farm Stall has a variety of products including art, crafts, gifts and clothing with a focus on collaboration with local businesses.
The farm stall can be found Wednesdays to Sundays adjacent to the award-winning The Packshed restaurant, also located within Serenity Hills. This is a must-try eatery where internationally experienced chefs prepare some of the region’s finest cuisine using locally sourced vegetables, meats and other products. They also host great events, with a wine and dine planned for November!
