ettalong markets

Great to go and wander around on a rainy day, beautiful atmosphere, and some great shopping!! Very close to home

Great indoor markets, perfect for rainy day, the inside of the building is lovely like you are in Rome, shops are great, Casa Mystique at the front is my favourite shop- lovely clothing and incense

This market in Ettalong, has recently been restored, with new wood flooring, and a total repaint. Busiest days are Saturday and Sunday's. If you enjoy browsing and slowly wandering around, then you will enjoy the many shops and eateries the market has to offer. Within the market complex there is a Cinema, and restaurants, offering global cuisine, The Aussie Beef and Barramundi, and the Turkish "Safran", there is also Indian and Japanese restaurants to enjoy.

Ettalong markets are just plain peculiar. These markets are undercover, so thats the most positive thing I can say. Claustrophobic and dark, little alleyways. Same crappy stuff available in multiple stalls. Coffee dreadful. Food choices ordinary.

Whilst not offering an extensive range of shops, we found a few things worth buying and enjoyed the atmosphere and the cafes.

very cramped Market stalls in mall style undercover glamour shed very expensive and the same thing sold at stall after stall

Like the experience of walking through the markets, it is very cute. good cafes there and food. lovely little boutique shops. I wish there was more local food stalls and the like to get special bits and pieces from.

These little markets were located in and around the pub in the main street of Ettalong. Amazed that they are only open for a few hours a week. Nice little arts and crafts, beach themed shops, entertainment in the small pub beer garden and some food stalls make it a nice place to spend an hour (two if you want a beer)

These markets haven't changed much since the 80's, some stall owners have permanent indoor stores, over the times I've been there, I walk away empty handed every time.

Venue of markets is lovely, a historic building, and a 5 min walk along the main road from the Mantra.

I love a good market but these were very dissapointing. Wouldnt waste your time in going. I would not recommend these

A visit to Ettalong market was a highlight of my journey to the Central Coast.The friendly staff at most stalls were very helpful and willing to get a sale in a relaxed method with no pressure to buy.The variety of things you could purchase as well as the food outlets made it a well worth while visit for a few hours.I will be back.

Extremely surprised to find lovely clean friendly markets with great individual stalls. purchased one off necklaces as gifts that we loved.

This is an interesting market place, but don't expect anything like a farmer's market. Commercial stalls and little shops with a lot of curios, clothes, knick-knacks etc. Nice to have a browse but not what we expected. Seems to have gone up-market.We enjoyed the Sunday market at the Diggers club more.

Some of these comments can be misleading so come look for yourself at the revamped Ettalong Markets. No longer poky look alike $2 stalls, this extraordinary building starting from Oceanview Parade is now a classy shopping arcade, housing everything from coffee shops, great restaurants open during the week, clothing boutiques, clothing alterations, homewares and a great movie complex. Also some of the shops are open from Wednesday - Sunday, not just only weekends. The shops owners are not all "country people" but a number of locals, pay them a visit,, I also wonder wonder where the person got the impression from re the portal-loos, there are quite a few toilets available,,
