View more unitsYou’re stepping right into a spot that makes you go, wow – this 180 sqm restaurant unit at Hayfields Mall is located right at the front of the centre, with both inside space and a lovely deck, and direct access to the parking lot. It’s got that immediate drop‑in‑to‑work kind of feel, where passing foot traffic sees you, and your customers feel welcome before they even walk through the door. The base rental is R30 000 per month, excluding VAT, and that’s all neatly laid out so you’re not left guessing. And yeah it’s got that deck that’s going to be killer for al fresco brunches or evening sips, making it great for café, bistro or casual dining vibes.
Inside, you’ll find a space that’s solid—open plan, flexible, easy to lay out just how you want. Light floods in, with room to configure kitchen, dining, bar counter or display pretty much whichever way suits your concept. There’s enough room to create separate zones—maybe a cosy inside area and then that deck out back—or front, depending on how you’ll arrange it. Equipment layout can be worked out with the landlord, and there’s all the usual back‑of‑house considerations covered: water, drainage, services—nothing hidden, nothing skipped. The location at the front, with direct access to the parking, makes deliveries and supplier visits a breeze, and your customers don’t have to wander through the rest of the centre to get in. You can make it feel like your own entrance, your own corner of Hayfields Mall.
The deck’s a real draw – great for brunch crowds, takeaway coffee drinkers, summer evening diners. It’s got the right mix of shade and openness, enough to seat a healthy chunk of your customers but not too much to feel exposed—just right for that relaxed‑upmarket feel. And the price is clear and transparent: R30 000 per month, excluding VAT, with landlord and tenant responsibilities plainly laid out. It’s approachable, honest, just what you’d expect from a property partner looking to build long‑term relationships. This corner‑front position lunches on visibility and convenience. You’re setting up shop where people already are—easy to find, easy to park, easy to love.
