This was my third visit to the center. The Woods, formally known as the Colony, has gone through a transformation. It's anchored by Checkers Foods,with a number of restaurants serving different styles of cuisine, including Italian and French, among the restaurants in the center, like Pronto, Besos, etc. It's easily accessible, importantly It's wheelchair accessible from the front ( Jan Smuts) and also the back ( Checkers side) where most of the parking is.
This centre was built so well with a great selection of places depending on your outing. Parking is safe and convenient, everything is clean and modern!
Just enough to suit your daily needs. Restuarants are quality, pharmacy is good and Checkers forms your daily bread and milk run but range covers the basics only.
clean, efficient, and secure. It's a lovely place to do my shopping. I just wish their liquor store was open already
Nice refurb of the old Colony Shopping Centre. Good, if tiny, Checkers. Parking lot is still frustrating with tiny bays and many cars parked badly enough to block bays beside them.
A welcomed upgrade to the Craighall shopping scene. Multiple eateries, fantastic coffee and a bespoke Checkers with a Krispy Kreme stand.
A modern, upmarket one stop shop. Our favourite has to be Plato for that pick me up and Liberte for amazing French cuisine
Management must improve its interruption
But staff and service I love it. Also always clean though such a busy place 💕
always effecient and friendly service, even the car gaurds are very helpful and really enjoy the lady who makes the borewors rolls just outside of the shop.
Seems like an up and coming place with nice Brunch spots. I found the parking a little confusing, there's more around the backend of the shopping centre.
Have visited Pronto for a meal & takeaways, very popular enjoyed everything.
The Cookery is the best whether you are in a group or just with a friend. Lots of fun, many different choices of food & menus. Your foodie experience includes all the recipes of the day. Eat, drink, laugh & share all the lovely food. Highly recommended.
If you like crystals, candles, incense, beautiful statues or similar goods this is the place to visit. Although I have been there many times the name escapes me at the moment. The shop is in the opposite corner to Pronto.
Plenty of parking around the shops & underground next to the Cookery.
