Geocache Description:

Doon Estate is a delightful collection of shops located in restorated houses from the "Wenela" Witwatersrand Native Labour Association in Msasa' industrial area.

It has a wide selection of quality crafts, jewellery, pottery and artwork. The attractive and pleasant garden setting is a nice place in which to wander around, have coffee, and buy unhurriedly in the gift, homeware and souvenir shops.

More about the historic background of the Witwatersrand Native Labour Association you can find here.

There is only limited access to this place. The opening hours are

  • Mon-Fri 09:00-16:30
  • Sat 09:00-13:00
  • Sun closed

The cache is a small plastic box, which contains a log book and enough space, to bring in Travel bugs & Travel coins. There is no pencil inside!

Please use the parking area, quoted in the waypoints listing.
