SOUTH AFRICAN GATHERING Reviews

   A great night out.

   Thank you

   I'd love it if you can have it three times or more a year💯

  Great day out with a large group of people...could have a few more food stalls if possible (waited between 30-60 mins for food) and at least one other bar (could be the same brand but at the location near the open grass area). If possible a play area for kids (jumping castle, a few soccer balls, toys, etc)

 Would have liked more toilets and showers at the campsite, also for these to be cleaned regularly and there was no water for hand washing at the toilets. Very few vendors and the vendors that were there lacked enough staff to manage the queues. Would have been nice to have a porter service at the car park to help attendees to the camp site and event location. We enjoyed the campsite in the apple orchards and had a wonderful time meeting other SAFFAs.

     The event was awesome. The facilities was lacking a bit. The camping ground was unkept and wild, the portable loos was a nightmare. Not something that is advised with a bunch of south africans brandy stomachs the morning after a kuier. Ideally clean loos should be delivered each morning. The event area was a bit of trek from camping ground and parking area. Other than that, the event as a whole was great. Would love to join in again next year.

   Absolutely brilliant wend

   great

   Qudasi and Maqhinga were brilliant . They were.the perfect entertainment .

   Did prefer Kilkenny venue and most I spoke to felt the same way. I would like to thank you for organizing the event The time it must take is appreciated x

   Felt awesome being around my people with similar background. Amazing friendly vibe

   The music and vibe was amazing and I would definitely go again

     Excellent overall experience at Mountain View event, however, more toilets, showers and electricity should be available for weekend getaways.

     Fabulous event. Location, entertainment, shops were great. We were camping there for the first time, and would be perfect, but some other campers were very loud until early morning hours, as 3am and kept us and many other people awake. With so many families camping, this needs to be better organised next time. Also was not enough toilets and they were very dirty. Lack of sinks, only showers on site.

 2022 was much better. In 2023: 1. Food ran out quickly. 2. Too few stalls. 3. The bar was a complete disaster. Cannot believe it! 4. Walking to though the entrance was not suitable for disabled people. Shame on you!

     As above

   Loved it

   Definitely need more food stalls and bar/drinks stalls, as most of the day was spend in a line to buy borrowers rolls and getting drinks

     2023 was a lot better :)

 The market was really tight space wise, and there was not enough food unfortunately. Overall I had a great time.

   Very cramped stalls area with long queues. Limited stalls. Much preferred Belmont Demesne setting of previous SA day.

 As per usual the event was brilliant. The venue was superb and lots to do and see and off course. The food was amazing from all different vendors, who had so many options Well done to the organisers, the weather was also on point. Bring on the next one

 Some vegetarian food options would have been nice….as the only vendor selling veg option (curry) left after failing an inspection I was left with no other choice except chips I think there was a stall selling chips but it finished. So for next gathering would be nice to have vegetarians catered for or I will be prepared and take something for myself. Maybe I was the only veggie person there 🤷🏻‍♀️

 Enjoyed it, thanks to the organisers for all of the hard work.

   As above.

   The event was good but unfortunately the stalls were very few of and the queue were very long only to end up buying out of date products which was only noticed when we got home

   Event was brilliant. Beautiful location, plenty parking space, lovely picnic area. Good catering, just a little big to long queues to get food (waited over half an hour to get boerewors). Also some shops with goodies run out with their stock very quickly, so many people couldn't get South African goodies. Hope that will change in the future events. Overall we've had a great fun at SA Gathering!

     Reptole park closed early ans rudely told my child u camw late. Nothibg to ahow u. Pls leave now.

 OK

 First time at the Event!! It was fantastic.Thank You for Arranging it.Looking forward to next year's Event!!!!

 5 Stars - well organised. We had a great time - thank you.

 We thought the stalls and food etc. was very good and the day was well organised however not having hotel/apartments (we are not happy campers) on site (as you did last year), meant that we had to leave relatively early and did not get to enjoy the festivities like we did last year. Also, if we had known before hand, we would have brought camping chairs/blanket to sit on. More tables etc. were needed. We did however enjoy the day.

 Loved it!

 great location and well organised

 Not enough food stalls

 Could have been really great but need more food outlets and also being charged €5 for a 2000ml coke is extortion.

   We had a wonderful day/evening. Thank you for organising.
