The beaches of Salt Rock may be what attracts visitors, but the Tiffany’s Shopping Centre and The Litchi Orchard are also perfect spots to stop by.
Tiffany’s Shopping Centre
Convenience, a relaxed atmosphere, plenty of parking (both upstairs and in the basement), a wide variety of restaurants and coffee shops (including Fego’s Cafe, Jack Salmon and Holy Cow Coffee) are just a few of the attractions. There’s just no end to the perks of this popular centre in Salt Rock on the North Coast. Catering for the local community and holidaymakers in the area, Tiffany’s offers grocery stores, decor specialists (such as Bellagio Interiors and Beachsand Decor), healthcare outlets, pampering services (including Ashleigh D Hair & Nails) and an overall upmarket experience that’s incredibly accessible to boot (the centre is nestled right next to the N2 highway).

The Litchi Orchard
In step with worldwide trends to get in touch with where food and products come from and foster a sense of community with local producers, The Litchi Orchard is perfectly positioned to provide North Coast residents, as well as visitors to the area, with a green haven of good food, decor and design. Here, carefully selected local shops and eateries team up to form a meeting point for like-minded enterprises, and what started as a mere nursery, and then a small farmer’s market, has grown into a vast collection of inspiring small businesses.
It’s easy to see why it’s so appealing. From the mid-month Maker’s Market to the seasonal Orchard Night events, there’s something for everyone. And those with green fingers are spoilt for choice because the initial nursery has made way for the delightful Driefontein Garden Centre.
The Monthly Market, which has been a firm favourite with families since 2009, is the perfect way to spend a morning – having a look at all the wonderful craft stalls, and trying some of the mouthwatering food on offer. The Night Market, which used to be held on the last Friday of every month, has been refreshed into a seasonal evening event, and Orchard Night is all about toe-tapping music, delicious food and drinks, and catching up with friends in an enchanting setting.
