Great learning Experience..
Oct 2023 • Couples
Part of our Gate 1 tour, we visited this candle store. Part of our visit, we learned from start to finish how they make their candles. The candles have different colours, different patterns and shapes. What a learning experience it was . Then walking through the store and buying many shaped candles ( elephants, rhinos, lions, giraffes etc) The area is surrounded by different shops and many markets.

Candles in all colours and shapes - incredible. You can also watch the making of candles. Prices are very good.

A must visit
Aug 2022
A great selection of candles in the well stocked shop and see the candles being made in the studio attached. There is a cafe on site for lunch or just a drink along with other stalls selling other interesting products.

If you like candles and artisan shopping
Aug 2022 • Family
The place is surely the most touristic spot in eSwatini but, if you like candles and other artisanal items, it is worth a visit.
The place looks like a nice courtyard with many little shops and a cafe.

An unbelievable selection of wonderful candles is on offer here. They make great gifts for all sorts of friends and family. There are other shops close by as well as Sambale, which is a great place for coffee or a quick bite.

A must when in eSwatini
Jul 2022 • Couples
A great stop while in the Ezulwini region. Lots of shops and souvenirs on offer. The candles are very well made and make excellent gifts. You can interact with the craftsmen and the resident cats! Don't skip the other shops as there are some gems.

Beautifully intricate in colour and design ...
Jan 2020
It is said the candle makers around here use an ancient technique "Millefiori", which surfaced in ancient Alexandria and was later perfected by the glass creators in Murano. The reality is they are beautifully intricate in colour and design. One can actually see one of the candle makers mastering his art prior to heading to the shop that displays a huge variety of candles of all shapes and colours. Once you walk out there are quite a number of other craft shops worth exploring.
