Westown Square – the beating heart of Shongweni – is quickly becoming Shongweni’s go-to destination for dining, shopping, and entertainment. From trail adventures to live music and family fun, it’s a place to create your own memories #LiveForTheMemories
Explore the outdoors
The new Westown Trails and Horse Paddock Hub, developed with EMBA and local outdoor groups, now welcomes mountain bikers, runners and horse riders. With trail maps, lockers, a bike wash bay and water refill stations on the way, plus paddocks with hay and water already set up, this hub is the perfect pit stop just steps from Westown’s restaurants and shops.
Shop, dine & discover
The shopping line-up keeps growing. The Foschini Group has opened Foschini, Total Sports, Sportscene, and Exact, while Home Tech Sleep Store joins the home and décor mix. Coming soon are the first motor dealerships, Omoda and Jaecoo, on the lower level.
Hungry?
Take your pick from over 20 casual and upmarket eateries:
- Family favourites like Wimpy, Milky Lane, Mugg & Bean, and Spur
- Elevated options including Elephant & Co, Joops, Joitas, Kalamata, Tiger’s Milk, Robsons, The Burgundy Bar, and soon Andreas Italian Restaurant
Free and convenient parking, both undercover and open bays, gives you direct access to every level.
