"Loved the Craft Centre. There are so many wonderful stalls and it's easy to spend your last NAD before heading home. I bought a beautiful giraffe and some smaller souvenirs. Could have spent all day in there."

"Many local souvenier shops. Good selection of products. Prices might be cheaper elsewhere, but good for last shopping before departure.
Limited parking, restaurant."
