Storms River Arts & Crafts Centre

South Africa is home to a wealth of local talent, which is sometimes forgotten in exploring the “bigger, better” tourist attractions.

The Storms River Centre Arts & Crafts may be tiny, but is certainly hard to miss for its brightly painted exterior and prime position on the main road of the Storms River Village in Tsitsikamma.

Managed by the friendly and enthusiastic Kako, hailing from Malawi, this shop offers a variety of African arts, crafts and keepsakes. The array of beaded, metal, wood and African hide goods make for very special gifts and mementoes. They include gimmicky items, ornaments, jewellery and accessories for the home. There is also plenty of African art, which is affordable and unique. Kako is endearing, ever willing to give out advice on what to see and do in the area.

During your exploration of Storms River Village, the Storms River Centre Arts & Crafts is certainly worth a leisurely amble.
