Otara Flea Market on Postcard

"Saturday morning and this is the place to be to get a true slice of the Pacific. The Otara Flea Markets have rows and rows of fresh fruit, clothing, bric-a-brac and of course food, but it's the Polynesian colour and music that makes it so special. Far from the traditional shop fronts of Queen Street, this is where commerce meets culture and you can pick up a mighty decent bag of apples for $1.50."

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.

Good fresh produce, seafood, and food to ready to eat. Brought a seafood fritter for $12, added an egg for an extra $2, and a BBQ squid for $5. The market can get busy. All sorts sold here knock off merchandise, second-hand goods, clothes, and accessories. Lovely fragrance coconut oil can be purchased here. Lemon grass and lime are good for mosquitoes.

Supporting local, fresh, locally grown vegetables benefits everyone! It boosts the local economy, reduces the carbon footprint, and ensures you're eating fresh, seasonal, and nutritious produce. Plus, it strengthens community connections and supports farmers. Choose local for a healthier, sustainable future! Papatoetoe Kettle Corn has sweet and salty yummiest popcorn 🍿 😋 👌

Loved the gourmet donuts made by Chef John at Little Bambino's Kitchen stall. So cheap at 4 for $20. Good selection of fruit and vegetable stalls, great flower stalls selling at reasonable prices. Lots of other stalls and takeaways.

Did not disappoint! Such a friendly vibe! Fresh produce 💯! Halal stores, vegan and plentiful fresh seafood. So much happiness in my belly today! Glad we put Otara Market as a must visit! Arrived at 7.30am & left 11am with so much! Get in early for fresh hot donuts & delicious potato salad - cook island, Manaui👌🏽

This is the cultural epicentre of Auckland. Great place, great vibe. Some of the stalls sell amazing quality food, some not so much. However once you find your go to’s, you just keep going back

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!
