So many wonderful stalls with local produce and local crafts. Live music and a community atmosphere as well. I highly recommend those Malaysian curry puffs with some authentic sambal. Love the dishwashing for plates and cups too. Definitely worth doing if you are in Queenstown.

Really enjoyed these markets. They’re the largest in Queenstown I reckon. Beautiful view. Lots of stalls, including arts & crafts, food, wine, plants, books, coffee trucks and food trucks. Nice live music as well and is dog friendly (except inside the barn).
