  • 5/5 Adel R. 1 year ago on Google
    It is a very Good mall. All major stores are available in the mall. It is the largest mall in the Garden Route area. It is very clean and new. It has many resturants, coffee shops. There are many large-size stores adjacent to the mall (seperate buildings). It has plenty of car parking (open space) and they are free. It is good to walk, do shopping and drink coffee and/or eat in this mall. The location is very good on N2 highway. Very secure. By short, it is the best mall in the Garden Route area. The only missing thing in the mall is a childern playground.

    Garden Route Mall is a massive mall on the southern Cape coast and a walk through this mall could easily double as a healthy exercise of about an hour. There are a wide variety of shops and plenty of security. The bathrooms were clean and unlike some other shopping centres, you are not required to pay extra to use them. There’s a nice touch of natural light that comes into the mall as well. Parking is plentiful and free, but there was no undercover parking, which is a pity, especially when the weather is a bit nasty.

    Huge mall. Free parking outside. Everything is inside. Not all pedestrian way are covered. Very clean and free toilet. Someone watches and cleans all the time. I recommend. Woolworths is not the best one here. But it's ok. You can find everything you need.

    Huge mall with all the usual shops. You won't find any bargains here but it's great for a day out and a nice lunch. The Go George bus stops near the McDonald's.

    Closes early. Parking is so offset at an angle its hard to see or recall where you parked mostly in front of Game parking area toward Simply Asia entrance. Nice variety of stores. Could do with a proper food court it's so scattered not even sure if you can sit and if you could where you could sit

  • 4/5 Efdee T. 2 years ago on Google
    Good shopping experience with some decent restaurants. Basically every known shop is contained in the mall. Restrooms are clean and well maintained. Ample customer parking and disabled parking spaces are well manage. With some other malls around Garden Route Mall is still doing well. Keep it up guys!

    Everything is close to each other and easy to find. It has all the essentials and more. It has wheelchair access and parking. Overall parking lot's big. Different entrances and exits, easy to find. Good security and sanitizing stations. The workers all over are respectful and ready to help.

    Beautiful restaurant, spectacular view of the ocean. Waiters just need to work on their service instead of chatting with their co-workers at the bar.

    A nice, clean, well looked after regional mall with plenty of safe parking. Please build another one like this on the opposite side of George to reduce traffic congestion in Courtnay St./Knysna Rd. We are really tired of driving to the other side of town just to be able to shop at a nice mall. This town is very, very ready.

  • 4/5 Fagmeedah P. 3 years ago on Google
    Mall is surprisingly large, and was fairly busy for lock down, but I guess this is their peak season. Very well represented mall, with even exclusive brands like Browns present. Well maintained, too few toilets, walk a mile, very busy.

  • 5/5 Frans N. 3 years ago on Google
    Clean and all covid regulations in place. Security made sure all people wearing their masks properly.

  • 4/5 Jauckie V. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Sarel H. 3 years ago on Google
    Ample, safe parking (unfortunately nothing under cover). Good variety of national retailers, with a few unique options thrown in. All major banks represented. Plus cinemas

  • 3/5 Megan S. 3 years ago on Google
    Definitely wasn't impressed with the food lovers they have. As a visitor I found some of the places a bit hard to find and it was super busy. But im sure any other time (not December) it would be a lovely mall to go too.

    I visited during the Covid-19 Pandemic, so it is expected that service levels are a bit down, with social distancing, reduced staff levels and limited number of patrons allowed in the stores. Hopefully normality will return soon. expected swr xpected

  • 3/5 Nina Van Z. 3 years ago on Google
    The mall is very clean and neat but I saw some people not wearing their masks correctly and the security of the mall was checking each other's phones and not giving any attention to the mandatory mask wearing and sanitizing protocol

    Being the only big mall excluding the Mall in Mosselbay. It contains everything you would need and expect for, from a mall. Easy to know where you are as not to get lost with multiple entrance points and a lot of parking. Unfortunately undercover parking doesn't exist here but hope that it will be implemented soon.

  • 5/5 O D. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is the idyllic camping holiday spot especially in the Dec/Jan holiday season. Ablutions are clean, close to the river and hiking trails and laundry is available on site. Another great advantage is its proximity and easy access to the surrounding towns to explore or refresh supplies. Kids also love it here. They are carefree and able to enjoy the freedom of the space. Weather here is just right, not too hot this time of year.

  • 5/5 Yolanda B. 2 years ago on Google
    I always love coming here. The mall has all the shops and restaurants we as a family usually frequent and it seems there are mostly at least a few shops offering sales at any time. Loads of parking, broad isles, clean bathrooms.

  • 5/5 Johann V. 2 years ago on Google
    A very neat mall with every type of business.

  • 5/5 Chad C. 2 years ago on Google
    What an excellent mall. As you enter the parking a Security Guard greets every single car. This just makes my day every morning. Furthermore every store is extremely well stocked. Makes shopping so much more relaxing.

  • 4/5 Hans van T. 2 years ago on Google
    The Garden Route Mall is one of the malls that i have visited that is always clean. You sometimes wonder what the cleaning staff are cleaning because there seems to be no mess lying around. The security personnel were also most helpful and courteous. All the major shops and some other smaler interesting ones too.

  • 5/5 Melanie E. 2 years ago on Google
    Our once a month place to visit as we have to drive a distance to get there. Love the wide corridors, the cleanliness and accessibility of this mall. A lovely place to have a fun day out, enjoy a meal and to pick up a fun item to spoil yourself!

  • 5/5 Tanja L. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome little gems of shops, bookstores and restaurants. I love that the toilets are in the middle of the mall and you can walk to whichever side of the mall through the middle. Safe parking and easy to find.

  • 5/5 Debra M. 1 year ago on Google
    Relocated from Somerset West, we always avoided the mall as it felt unsafe. This mall however is absolutely amazing, security is great, it's clean and well organized. Every shop is lovely, staff friendly and super helpful. Fresh breathe of air so too say 😌

  • 4/5 Nelis W. 1 year ago on Google
    Very many stores (major branches of most franchises/companies) with wide variety and product range. Movie house with mostly popular mainstream movies. Limited restaurant choice. Lots of parking. Within easy reach of the N2

  • 5/5 Lynette P. 1 year ago on Google

    Lots of shops that are open till late. Went there to go to the cinema, ended up stroking around for an hour, visiting different shops. Lots of verity and ample parking.

  • 5/5 Willem P. 1 year ago on Google
    Always a pleasure to visit the Garden Route Mall. It's always neat and tidy, especially the bathroom facilities they have a whole variety of stores, new ones getting added regularly. A whole lot of restaurants to choose from should u get hungry and if you're in the mood for a movie, Ster Kinekor are there.

  • 4/5 Gerrie van Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Very clean and very well maintained. Only issue, they could use some information boards at the entrances of the store locations. Most malls I've been to are using them, and it makes life much easier.

  • 5/5 Natasha M. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Denlia L. 1 year ago on Google
    What an awesome mall in this relatively small village! Has fabulous outdoor and camping shops, all the top chain stores including Pick n pay and Woollies, and some lively boutiques and swimwear shops! Also lovely, affordable basketware for sale by a friendly chap in the public space

  • 5/5 lee c. 1 year ago on Google
    Parking is very safe there's car guards and also there is variety of shops.

  • 1/5 I J. 1 year ago on Google
    The mall is a pleasant experience. BUT ... the toilets. After having a knee injury and on crutches, I actually realized that the toilets, and even the disability toilet is really not efficient. The regular toilets are too low to sit down comfortably when on crutches and with a knee injury. So the next time I've tried the disability toilets which is to my surprise the same lower height than the other toilets. It was a matter of ungracefully "falling down" on the toilet seat and afterwards using the bars to try and get up: not an easy task at all. I don't know if the toilet is the correct height for a wheel chair bound person, but in my opinion the lower height definitely has too many challenges for a person with crutches or the elderly with a walking stick. Not sure if it is really disability friendly. Option: put another toilet in the disability toilets, one lower and one the standard higher one.

  • 5/5 David B. 1 year ago on Google
    Very clean, easy access, great stores, affordable pricing and overall an easy place to do shopping or grabbing a bite to eat

  • 4/5 glen p. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice clean and well laid out mall just remember where you parked your car can be confusing if you leave at another entrance.

  • 4/5 Richard M. 1 year ago on Google
    Wide selection of shops to choose from and free safe parking. If you want a wide choice as well as a single stop on your journey, it's just off the freeway for a quick or more ambitious shopping.

  • 5/5 Danie L. 1 year ago on Google
    Loads of shops around and not just the normal national retailers, but also some additional not so well known retailers for you to support. From groceries to clothing, medicine to everyday supplements, you should be able to find it all and much much more here.

  • 4/5 Carl van N. 1 year ago on Google
    Great mall, great selection of stores and outlets. Always very clean and well managed. It's a pleasure to shop there. Keep it up. The car guards are just a little bit rambunctious and OTT, but each to their own I suppose. I love their enthusiasm, just, perhaps "woosah" a bit, especially if it's early morning...

  • 5/5 Lori-Anne O. 1 year ago on Google
    Its a great mall for everyone. There is the larger shops everyone uses to the smaller shops that sell handmade goods. It has absolutely wonderful parking with a good layout of the area.A mall that sorts you with everything you need in one place.

  • 5/5 carl van v. 1 year ago on Google
    Extremely clean and user-friendly layout. Ample parking all for free. Very helpful people and staff at all the shops 👍. Restaurants are very good and service was great. Will recommend to all for your shopping.

  • 5/5 Denise vd M. 9 months ago on Google
    Convenient one stop shopping experience. There is entertainment in the form of movies and otherwise you'd be able to find most needs and wants scattered throughout the shopping center. It's always interesting to see which pop-up shops are in the middle of the walkway and the shopping assistants in the shops are also very helpful.

  • 4/5 Diana O. 10 months ago on Google
    I really do not like malls. Only go if there is no choice. They are all the same. Same shops, same restaurants, but this one was not so bad. It's busy. It's a mall - nothing else left to say.

  • 5/5 Karin S. 10 months ago on Google
    Having recently visited the Garden Route Mall, I am compelled to share my exceptional experience at this retail haven and entertainment destination. From the moment I entered, I was greeted by a vibrant and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The Garden Route Mall boasts an impressive selection of stores, catering to every shopper's desires. From renowned international brands to local boutiques, the variety and quality of the shops were truly impressive. I was thrilled to find everything I needed, from fashion and accessories to electronics and homeware, all under one roof. The mall's layout was well-designed and easy to navigate, making my shopping experience a breeze.

  • 5/5 Fiona M. 3 months ago on Google New
    I don't usually bother to rate a mall. They're just so "the same". This mall is lovely. The shops are well fitted and well stocked. In one short visit I easily found everything I needed. By comparison, I spent an hour trailing Somerset mall and found nothing I needed. It's a dreadful sprawling mall 😫 always "out of stock".

  • 4/5 TheDARKenDRAGON 3 months ago on Google New
    The layout is well designed. A great destination to go christmas shopping. Beautiful courtyard with restaurants, but you have to wait a few minutes to be seated. Parking is efficient.

  • 5/5 Adir M. 3 months ago on Google New
    It's got a bit of everything, really well thought out mall. You could spend a day here. But I think I like it's location the most, it's on a really convenient spot
