Moving on up

igration between provinces in South Africa is on the increase. StatsSA recently looked at migration trends and the results show that a lot of people move from rural areas to metros. Taking it one step further, Lightstone tested if these trends observed by StatsSA are present in the property market and if there’s a higher demand to live in specific areas. The outcome is interesting although not surprising.

The largest migrations are toward Gauteng and the Western Cape. In Gauteng, Pretoria is the most popular city to move to and in particular Pretoria East. In the Cape, Parklands in Milnerton is the most popular suburb for property owners to relocate to from Gauteng or the Eastern Cape. Relocation happens on a regular basis and is a positive factor for the overall property market.

Fairtrade, fine wine

emand for Fairtrade-certified wine has soared in recent years, with global sales now close to 30 million bottles per year, and for South African producers, Fairtrade certification is fast making financial and socio-economic sense. Leading the sustainable charge on local estates, is Bosman Family Vineyards outside Wellington, where some 380 employees on the estate own a substantial share in the business through the workers’ Adama Trust. Earlier this year the winery repackaged its Adama Red and White blends to reflect the cellar’s longstanding Fairtrade accreditation, and channel increased funding to the farm’s community upliftment projects. “Our goal is to be the leading supplier of responsibly produced wine in South Africa, and Adama is where everything comes together,” explains Petrus Bosman, managing director of Bosman Family Vineyards. “The Fairtrade accreditation allows us to connect with both clients and customers.” Happily, the wine is also superb. The Adama White is a delicious Art Director: Leah de Jager Designers: Anja Bramley & Craig D’Oliveira Senior Sub-Editor: Mlungisi Mthembu Proofreader: Marana Brand Editorial Assistant: Lauren Albertyn Online Editor: Lauren Joubert

seven-way blend underpinned by Chenin Blanc, while the Shirazdriven Adama Red gains complexity from blending in small amounts of Cinsaut, Grenache Noir, Nero d’Avola, Mourvedre, Primitivo and Viognier. Around the corner in Suider-Paarl, Fairview is as famous for its goat tower as its cheeky wine brands. Their Goats do Roam range of wines (a play on the protected French appellation Côtes du Rhône) has been Fairtrade accredited since 2013, with a percentage of profits funding community development projects across 10 farms in Paarl, Darling and Stellenbosch. While the range includes a quaffable white and rosé, your best bet for winter is the delicious Goats do Roam Red, a Shiraz-led blend with Cinsaut, Mourvedre, Grenache and Carignan. The spicy Goat-Roti blend (a nod to Côte-Rôtie near Lyon) of Shiraz and Viognier is also a fine wine to pour by the fireplace. Over in the Swartland, Earthbound Wines, produced by Nederburg,

are sourced from organic dry land vineyards near Darling, and winemaker Heinrich Kulsen is upbeat about the challenging 2016 vintage. “The low yields offer great concentration, which has resulted in wines of utmost flavour and complexity,” he says. Earthbound’s range of red and white wines offer a more everyday Fairtradefriendly option, with the juicy fruit and vanilla notes of the Pinotage making it a great choice for winter.

A taste of Italy Genuine Italian ingredients create a vibrant slice of contemporary Italy at Villa 47 WORDS: KIT HEATHCOCK IMAGES: KIT HEATHCOCK & SUPPLIED

rosciutto and parmesan are two ingredients that have to be the real thing if you’re talking Italian cuisine. Where better to go on a taste trip to Italy than Villa 47 on Bree Street, recently opened by Rialto Foods, who have been importing the best Italian ingredients for 17 years.

was skilfully slicing prosciutto in the glass-walled cheese and ham room. At first taste of our shared cheese and meat platter, I was transported back to my years working in Italy: delicate Parma ham, sweet and rich Grana Padano, creamy gorgonzola, and juicy green olives from Puglia.

Owners Luciano Previtera and Michele Mirotto decided it was time to showcase their products the Italian way and they are doing this in style. Teaming up with chef Clayton Bell, formerly of Constantia Uitsig, they came up with not one but three food concepts for the historic building. The ground floor is Locanda, a contemporary informal eatery serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Next up is Stuzzico, an evening tapas bar on the first floor, and due to launch on the top floor in September is The Restaurant, with an intimate and elegant modern dining atmosphere. “Chef Clayton has a phenomenal palate,” says operations manager Peter Douglas. “He developed the menus in consultation with the Italian owners and team to get the authentic flavours and feel.”

Next, the risotto with peas and pancetta, topped with crispy Parma ham was a perfect balance of sweet and savoury. There was a tempting fresh pasta with buffalo mozzarella on the specials menu, but for nostalgia I went for the imported tortellini stuffed with minced Parma ham, served with a meaty ragu sauce that scored full marks for authenticity and robust winter flavour.

Locanda was bustling and vibrant at lunch time. Tables spill out onto the pavement and there is a spacious enclosed courtyard at the back with an olive tree and bar. Chef Vittorio Bianchi, whose family makes cheese near Parma,

We admired the appetising main courses delivered to the next table – seared tuna and a saltimbocca with polenta chips, but after the generous portions of pasta and risotto, dessert called – a classic tiramisu, light, rich, creamy and very moreish, and a creative panettone bread-and-butter pudding with home-made ice cream. Excellent coffee and a peppery but smooth dash of Nardini grappa, rounded off a thoroughly satisfying Italian lunch.

A secret garden in Cape Town Escape to a hidden sanctuary a few minutes out of the city WORDS: BRIDGET MCNULTY

IMAGE: SUPPLIED

hat do you do when you need to get away – out of the humdrum of everyday life, the emails, the to-do-lists, the endless chores – but you don’t have the time or the budget to travel to an exotic overseas locale? I’m happy to say I think I’ve found the answer: you take yourself to the secret garden of the Vineyard Hotel, a seven-acre riverside garden estate in Newlands that feels a million miles away from everyday. I had been to the Vineyard before, of course, for afternoon tea and to visit the spa. But I had never explored the depths of the hotel – the beautifully serene suites, with their tasteful decor and outdoor deck looking on to Table Mountain and the vast swathe of green in front. And it’s this expanse of green that really sets the Vineyard apart, because it is a garden that is both wild and manicured at the same time: wonderfully cared for but filled with leafy nooks and crannies that feel as if nobody has ever discovered them. A stroll around the grounds – past the famous giant tortoises and along the riverside – before dinner at The Square Restaurant, is a delightful way to end

off a day of relaxation and unwinding. And dinner continues this theme, with an extensive sushi menu or a fivecourse wine pairing meal (which we felt obliged to dive into!). In fact, Tastes of 2016, which pairs their elegant fine dining fare with a top wine estate twice a month. Be sure to check out their calendar for your favourite wine farms as you’ve never tasted them before. Breakfast is another meal to write home about, an abundance of sweet and savoury, cold and hot that is as far from my everyday bowl of yogurt and fruit as it is possible to be. We may only have spent one night at the Vineyard, but by the time we left I felt as if we’d been away for a week – refreshed, revitalised and ready to head back over the mountain and into real life.

One & All Neighbourhood celebrates a year of achievements at One&Only Cape Town

WORDS: CLAIRE BARNARDO IMAGES: HEIN VAN TONDER

’ve always been a firm believer in marking the milestone that a birthday brings. As a child I learnt early on that birthdays should mean spoiling and sparkles, balloons and streamers. I mean, without birthday parties life would be quite ordinary really, and I believe in romancing the ordinary… a lot! As July is Neighbourhood’s first birthday month we decided it was time to head out as a team and celebrate in style at One&Only Cape Town. There we were spruced up and seated at Reuben’s One&Only Chef’s Table – you don’t get more special than that. Working on five weekly titles, it’s a rare occasion to have time out as colleagues, let alone a smart dinner together. And since awardwinning executive chef Reuben Riffel believes that the good food journey is best shared with friends, we were definitely sharing the same sentiment. Reuben’s One&Only is his first urban restaurant and the setting is chic and classy with hues of amber lighting surrounding dark, modern furniture and finishes. The restaurant proudly showcases a menu that pays tribute to the rich heritage of the Cape, as well as the cultural influence in local modern cuisine. Reuben likes to keep things simple in food and works with the natural flavours of seasonal ingredients. Recently back from a US tasting mission, he’s infusing some new ideas into the menu – still signature favourites but also more stripped down and including more seafood.

Our preview of what to expect was scintillating. Being a pescatarian I was treated to a full seafood menu. Starting with a white fish soufflé with tropical fruit relish and papaya coulis, this dish was light and perfect. Then the salmon roulade with Asian broth was succulent and seasoned to perfection. Main course was the grilled kingklip which came with a saffron linguini which was out-of-this-world delicious. Pairing each course with the tasteful La Motte wines added to the taste journey, as did the excellent service from the staff. We ended with the moreish Crema Catalana which came with caramel ice cream and trimmings. It’s easy to see how Reuben has blitzed a successful pathway in the foodie industry. And as we toasted to the success of Neighbourhood, we also raised a glass to the real talent that comes out of our South African suburbs, like Reuben.

DID YOU KNOW? Reuben was born in Franschhoek and is one of twelve grandchildren. Food was always central to their family life.

A la carte

Never before have kitchens been so customisable. Take inspiration from these trends to create your own. WORDS: GENEVIEVE PUTTER

Back to black

IMAGES: ISTOCK

Black as a trend in kitchen design has never been bigger. By playing with textures and using it in different rations, you can achieve vastly different effects.

• Black accents provide a bold

and unexpected surprise, especially if textured differently from the rest of the kitchen. • Kitchens that feature white cabinetry with contrasting black trim, serve to define the edges of the cabinets for a sleek, sharp effect. • In the same way that black is a good canvas for colour accents, so is it the ideal foil for metallics – warm tones like brass, gold and copper in particular. When it comes to taps and spouts, warm metallics stand out to dramatic effect against black surfaces. • Black combined with colour makes for a fun contemporary approach.

Matte(r) of fact

Matte surfaces for kitchens, whether as countertops or cabinetry, have never been more chic. To get the matte effect, the surface is usually textured and absorbs light as opposed to reflecting it, providing a refreshing break from ultra-shiny surfaces. • Lighter neutral shades such

as beige, cream or oatmeal in a matte finish provide a great alternative to the harshness of a standard bright-white kitchen. • If you like the matte look but feel

Tel: 021 554 3473 | Cell: 083 309 5445

that doing every surface like this may be an overkill, introduce a single element that’s glossy. • If, however, you’re feeling bold, you can take a blanket approach to using matte surfaces. In an open-plan space this serves to unify the kitchen area as one entity. Be careful to balance it out, though. • The matte cabinetry is brought to life with pops of colour and patterned accents which lift the flat surface.

Knock on wood

Wood has been a favourite choice in kitchen design for some time, thanks to the warmth it adds. It needn’t only be applied in a rustic setting – new finishes and applications give it contemporary relevance too. • Today’s use of wood in the

kitchen often fuses an old farmhouse aesthetic with contemporary elements. • Thanks to the vast array of timber finishes and colours now available, wood accents have become popular precisely because they can suit just about any aesthetic in a kitchen. • Mixing different shades and grains is another kitchen trend we love, and it can be done in endless ways.

Go green! How to build for energy efficiency in your home WORDS: CLAIRE BARNARDO

IMAGES: ISTOCK

e’re thinking green! Instead of being reactive to energy saving, let’s be proactive with these great tips on how to make your home more efficient.

well as reducing the temperature. This results in a reduction of the cooling load, which lowers initial capital and maintenance costs.

Windows

These use electricity to transfer heat from the air to water in an enclosed tank instead of generating heat directly.

A single pane of glass can lose almost 10 times as much heat as the same area of insulated wall. Consider installing double-pane windows with Low-E coating to reduce the transfer of heat through windows. Different types of Low-E coatings have been designed to allow for high solar gain, moderate solar gain, or low solar gain.

Reduced window-to-wall ratio The correct balance between glazed and wall surfaces in the external façades maximises daylight while minimising unwanted heat transfer, resulting in reduced energy consumption.

External shading devices

These will protect windows from direct sunlight, which increases both solar heat gain and glare. Designs that take advantage of summer and winter sun should be considered.

Natural ventilation

A natural ventilation strategy can improve occupant comfort by providing access to fresh air as

Heat pumps for hot water

Energy-saving light bulbs

The use of CFL (compact fluorescent lamps), LED (light-emitting diode), or T5 lamps reduces the building’s energy use for lighting; heat gains are lowered, which in turn reduce cooling requirements. The service life of these types of bulbs is generally higher and maintenance costs are reduced.

Solar power

Solar photovoltaic panels reduce the amount of electricity required from the grid. Photo voltaic panels unlock the latent potential inherent in every building’s roof space to generate clean renewable energy from the sun.

Think smart

Smart meters reduce energy demand through increased awareness of energy consumption and can result in energy savings of 10% to 20%, as they are able to measure consumption in more detail than conventional meters.

Atlantic Seaboard freehold house Growth where market soars T we need it Analyse it PATRICK CAIRNS

arlier this month the IMF revised its growth forecast for South Africa for this year. It is now expecting the country to only just avoid a recession.

are still strong sellers with sales since the start of this year already topping the R1,166bn value mark. The average sales price, meanwhile, stands at R13,1m (exclusive of the extraordinary R290m sale) compared to just under R12m for the first half of 2015.

Of the 91-odd sales recorded on Propstats so far for this year, only about 11%, or 10 sales, fall in the

R0m to R5m price band. Most of the sales have been in the mid-market areas of Green Point and Sea Point. The R5m to R10m price band was by far the busiest, accounting for almost half of all sales with about 40 units sold at an average price of around R8m, compared to R7,6m during the same period last year. The bulk of the sales have been in Fresnaye and Camps Bay, and a single sale in Clifton.

Other analysts are less optimistic. There are a number of predictions that South Africa’s economy will in fact shrink during the course of 2016.

While the market is no doubt toughening up, freehold houses

Yet you wouldn’t get the impression that this country’s economy is in trouble if you visited Sandton or the V&A Waterfront. New buildings are going up, roads are being widened, and inside the shopping malls there is no apparent shortage of people spending money.

Private sector perspective on national spatial planning

This is the South African dichotomy. The country has these nodes where economic activity is booming, yet elsewhere a very different story is playing out. If you were to study the kinds of companies that are moving into the offices around Sandton and the V&A Waterfront, you might find some kind of explanation for it. Almost without exception, these areas have become home to local and multinational financial services and legal firms. The quality and depth of the services offered by these companies is one of the reasons why South Africa remains an appealing destination for foreign investment. Having this expertise and ability to facilitate big deals is an important part of building a stable economy. There is, however, also another side to the growing dominance of these industries. As much as financial and legal services facilitate the growth of an economy, they do not actually make anything. On their own, they do not create economic growth. There are even arguments that when these kinds of firms grow beyond a certain size in an economy, they can become an impediment. This is because they continue to absorb more resources but are no longer able to add any further value. This is not a criticism of these industries, but rather an important reality check. Sandton and the V&A Waterfront cannot continue to thrive without growth in other sectors of the economy behind them.

The IMF is now predicting that South Africa’s economy will only grow at 0,1% in 2016

he average price of freehold houses on the Atlantic Seaboard for the first half of this year is up by R1,1m compared to the same period last year. This, says Billy Rautenbach, sales manager, Seeff’s Atlantic Seaboard and City Bowl operations, despite a year-on-year dip of about 9% in the number of sales.

We created and then dismantled apartheid, a political brand meaning separateness that was sustained for 50 years through spatial policies. I believe that we should create a new theme of togetherness and proximity, the antithesis of separateness. As more people buy into it, we will see a reset to that system. MICHAEL DEIGHTON, MD, TONGAAT HULETT DEVELOPMENTS

Resilience characterises SA’s property market D espite a local and global economic landscape characterised by unusually high levels of economic and political uncertainty, the South African property market remains remarkably resilient, according to the Winter 2016 issue of The Study, a report which incorporates the Pam Golding Residential Property Index. The report says in part this resilience reflects pockets of strength in the national housing market, such as the booming Western Cape market, but it is also attributable to the structural underpinning of a young

population and the growing influence of first-time buyers. As a result, property – both local and offshore – can provide an excellent investment opportunity during what can only be described as uncertain times.

during the first quarter, the Pam Golding Residential Property Index reveals that national house price inflation continued to strengthen, rising by 6,7% in May from prior year levels.

Andrew Golding, CEO of the Pam Golding Property group, says the continued resilience of the South African housing market this year has supported a better than expected market performance, given a background of persistently weak economic growth and a slow, but steady increase in interest rates. After averaging at a 6,4% increase

In part, the continued rise in national house price inflation may be attributable to the resurgence in general consumer inflation in recent months, with an average inflation rate of 6,7% forecasted for 2016 – up from 4,6% last year. This has resulted in renewed price pressures throughout the national economy, including the housing market.

Ecofriendly adjustments affect property sales in line with overseas trends

That requires stimulating industries in the real economy like manufacturing and agriculture, and further developing services industries that do create direct value like tourism and information technology. There has to be more effort put into supporting and growing these sectors.

Yes, there are success stories like the motor industry, but there are not enough of them. The lessons that have been learnt there need to be applied elsewhere. And that is when growth will begin to spread beyond just a couple of square miles of the richest real estate in Africa.

Says Simon Bray, CEO, Private Property, “We don’t yet have data to show that green property is more popular as it’s not being measured anywhere locally, but anecdotal evidence from estate agents certainly supports this view.” While there is a lag behind the US market, a quick look at their

more for houses that incorporate green technology in the design.

Apart from a safe neighbourhood, a home’s energy efficiency influenced homebuying decisions the most, according to a survey recently conducted by the National Association of Home Builders.

In South Africa, last year’s unpredictable load shedding and the significant increase in electricity costs, have played a part in the demand for ecofriendly. And more residential developments are being built with environment sustainability in mind, such as Val de Vie Estate in the winelands and Menlyn Maine in Waterkloof, Pretoria.

THINGS TO DO: • The water slides at Water World Strand are for kids’ fun and birthday parties. • Visit the Cheetah Outreach. • Learn to surf at Son Surf School. • Hike in the Helderberg mountains. • Play paintball and laser tag at X Paintball. • Cable-ski at Blue Rock. • Play golf at Strand Golf Club.

About the area WORDS: KIT HEATHCOCK

ramed by the Helderberg mountains with sunset views over False Bay, there’s a summer holiday feel to Strand even in winter, with 5km of clean, sandy beach to call its own, lined by a mixture of tall apartment buildings, trendy cafes, restaurants, and older homes. The beach is Strand’s main attraction, its warmer Indian Ocean waters safe for swimming, and it’s a watersports paradise – from surfing and kitesurfing to diving and kayaking. With all the recent developments in the Helderberg Basin, nearby Somerset West is almost joining up with the edge of Strand, but the smaller town retains a strong sense of community and identity, with generations of the same families growing up and going to the well-regarded schools here. For those who work further afield, it’s easy enough to commute along the N2 to Cape Town and the international airport, but many residents appreciate the fact that you don’t need to make

the trip to town unless you want to. Between them, Strand and Somerset West have everything you need – from excellent medical facilities to varied shops and services, and the huge Somerset Mall having every high-street store imaginable. A laid-back, outdoor lifestyle is on your doorstep in Strand. If you need a change from the beach, head to the mountains for hiking and mountainbiking, or relax with beautiful views, great food and wine at the world-class wine farms, restaurants and markets of the Helderberg and Stellenbosch. In Strand itself, kids love the waterslides at Water World Strand and the putt-putt course. For adrenaline junkies, Blue Rock towards Sir Lowry’s Pass offers cable-skiing and zip-lining. Animal lovers visit the Cheetah Outreach nearby, and the Dick Dent Bird Sanctuary on the estuary of the Lourens River provides a protected habitat for water birds, which are also prolific on the adjacent Strand Golf Club course with its scenic water hazards.

BEST IN FOOD: • Ben’s on the Beach for great steaks, ribs, fish and a friendly vibe. • Casa del Sol for cocktails, tapas, light meals and great views. • De Brasserie for French and Belgian brasserie fare. • Pajamas & Jam Eatery for breakfast and a quirky coffee shop vibe. • Belgian Waffle House for waffles and pancakes.

The beach is awesome with lots of coffee shops, food stalls and ice cream places. There’s a lovely community in Strand and everything is within walking distance. Anything else you need is easily accessible within the Helderberg Basin, so there’s no need to travel into Cape Town unless you want to. CARLA GERMISHUYS, RESIDENT

MEDICAL FACILITIES NEARBY: • Busamed Paardevlei Private Hospital • Mediclinic Strand • Mediclinic Vergelegen • Cure Day Clinics Somerset West

Agent commentary Q: Who is buying property in the area and what types of properties are available? A: The Strand is a real gem enjoying a fabulous seaside setting, a 5km Blue Flag beach with an upgraded promenade including trendy eateries and world-class apartment blocks. As well as attracting local residential buyers, it is increasingly becoming popular with holiday home buyers, especially the beach front area, which encompasses a wide range of apartment complexes. Next to this, is the Greenways Golf Estate offering a 9-hole golf course and a mix of sectional title and freehold homes that includes beach houses. Properties within the town itself tend to be a bit older and are exceptionally well priced.

Q: What attracts buyers to Strand? A: Strand is situated on the eastern edge of False Bay and on the foot of the Hottentots Holland mountains which means you have both mountains and ocean on your doorstep. A mere 20 minutes from Cape Town International Airport or the Stellenbosch winelands and only a 50km drive to Cape Town along the N2, it’s easy to live in Strand and commute to Cape Town. With top-class shopping malls, excellent medical facilities, and a number of high-quality schools on the one hand, and a community that still has that village feel on the other, Strand offers buyers the best of both worlds. House prices are still very reasonable and you definitely get value for your money.

Q: What can buyers expect to pay for property? A: Properties available in the Strand area vary in price. Over the past 12 months a total of 1,400 properties changed hands, but interestingly enough, there were less than 30 properties that sold for more than R3m. The majority of sales were either entry level or in the range of R1m to R2m. Currently there are entry-level properties for sale, mainly smaller apartments, which vary from R300,000 to R500,000. Apartments on Beach Road again vary in price. The majority are between R2m and R3m. We have, however, just sold a two-bedroom apartment in Welgelegen for R1m. There are some good freehold properties in the market below R2m.

SHOW DEVELOPMENT

Seville and Vida Nova Buh-Rein Estate in the Western Cape offers two more top options. Visionary CEO of MSP, Riaan Roos, describes the latest developments

SEE FOR YOURSELF

To date nine of Seville’s townhouses have been sold, and they are proving popular with both younger professional couples and those looking to scale down. Seville is wonderfully situated just around the corner from the Lifestyle Centre, which includes a swimming pool and kiddies’ play area, with a restaurant and snack bar set to open soon. The other new development is Vida Nova, with a contemporary cascade design and a choice of 139 apartments. Vida Nova is bordered by a greenbelt along the east, with magnificent views of the Boland mountain ranges. CEO RIAAN ROOS

uh-Rein Estate lies in the northern reaches of Cape Town and is currently taking shape. My vision was to create a safe suburb with homes to meet all the requirements of any family. Two of the latest developments within the estate epitomise just that. Our new development Seville with just 31 luxurious single residential townhouses is really a place where a family can settle down, and also a great investment opportunity. Prices range from R1,399,900 to R1,999,900. The townhouses are almost complete and ready to view. Each spacious townhouse has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a separate scullery and one or two garages plus your own private garden. A built-in braai and patio area give each apartment that truly South African, homely feel. Fittings and finishes include granite kitchen tops, mosaic splash-backs, and a gas hob. The townhouses are tiled throughout, for easy cleaning, with aluminium edging for a modern look and feel. Open-volume ceilings add to a feeling of space.

Four types of apartments are available, and all include blinds, a carport, granite kitchen tops, and a patio or balcony with built-in braai, and tiled throughout for easy cleaning. Investors have said that Vida Nova offers the best value for money they have seen, as well as the best finishes in this price range. To date 62 apartments have been sold. Prices started from R579,900 for a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment to R839,900 for a twobedroom, one-bathroom apartment. Young families love the ground floor apartments with their private gardens, suitable for small pets. Buyers include investors from Johannesburg, KwaZulu-Natal and Dubai as well as Cape Town, some having bought more than one apartment. The rental that you can obtain in Vida Nova is R5,500 – R6,000 per month for a one-bedroom apartment and R7,000 – R7,800 for a two-bedroom apartment. Seville and Vida Nova offer ideal opportunities to own property in the burgeoning success story that is BuhRein Estate, where top-rate security

and broadband internet connection come as standard. Public transport (daily) to and from the estate includes Golden Arrow busses as well as a private shuttle service through HG Travel, and a flagship Checkers shopping centre is planned for 2017. If you have not as yet visited, please call, email or visit the MSP website (mspd.co.za) to learn more about this award-winning new suburb.

Agents are on-site daily to assist visitors at the estate. Monday – Friday: 9am – 6pm Saturday: 10am – 3pm Sunday: 11am – 5pm
