Otara Flea Market

A great place, but come early like before 9am .... Fruits, veggies are really cheap but check and compare prices as they are surprisingly different from stall to stall !

It is still the best marketplace for me after 1 year of going here every Saturday. Lots of fresh veggies and fruits. Mobile phone accessories , clothes, and car accessories. Yummy and tasty food with lots of options. Also got cooking utensils. Lots of parking available though might have to wait if you planning to go after 10am. Opens from morning till 1pm. Recommend to take your shopping bag. Most sellers have card options, but I always prefer taking cash.

Great to wander around having a look at all the crafts, clothing and nic nacs. A little bit of everything. Yummy kai of all cultures. And great veggies to choose from. Parking is really busy so definitely need to be a little patient when looking for a park but slow and steady gets you one. You can even have a look through the Otara shops if to the side. Everything is reasonably priced if you shop around.

Lots of choices for vegetables and fruits with cheaper price too. For food section, need more vegetarian options and halal. Overall is good

Great place for fresh produce and good bargains. Love the bustle and the vibe. Interesting food stalls and knick knacks. The fish stall is great too. If you're a regular, you become a familiar face and get special extras. My favourite Saturday early morning haunt - shop for fruit and veggies and finish off with breakfast.

Great variety of food, fresh produce and miscellaneous items for sale. We were here at 10 and the place was packed with both people and vehicles, so do come early to get a parking spot. Some stalls sell out early so it pays to visit early. Will definitely come back for the food, especially for the otai!

Vegetables, fruits, and flowers selling at a very affordable price. If you feel like missing home (Samoa) and the food, Otara flea market and few other stores have it. It doesn't taste the same but it will do for now. It's a very Family friendly environment so bring your children along. But don't forget to withdraw a bit of cash, some stalls don't have eftpos. The line at ASB Atm is always full.
