- **Abigail Coetzee** (★ 5/5): "⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you’re looking for one of Johannesburg’s hidden gems, then Victoria Yards is an absolute must-visit. The atmosphere is unlike anywhere else, a beautiful blend of creativity, community, nature, art, culture, and incredible local talent all in one space. The entire venue feels alive with inspiration. From the stunning rustic architecture and lush greenery to the artisan coffee shops, handcrafted foods, local art studios, veggie gardens, and creative market spaces, every corner has something special to discover. There are endless photo opportunities and such a calming, earthy energy throughout the space. One of the best experiences is visiting on the first Sunday market days when the whole place comes alive with music, art, delicious food, handmade crafts, and amazing local businesses. You can truly spend hours wandering around, supporting local creators, eating incredible food, and soaking in the atmosphere. The fresh vegetable gardens are also such a beautiful touch and make the entire experience feel grounded, sustainable, and community-driven. Absolutely divine, vibrant, and soulful. A true artistic sanctuary in Johannesburg that deserves all the support and recognition. Highly recommended for families, creatives, couples, photographers, and anyone wanting something authentic and inspiring"
- **Annelise Pretorius** (★ 5/5): "DEFINITELY A HIDDEN GEM. Don't let the area/location put you off. Beautiful urban veggie gardens gardens. Apparently a very live market every first Sunday of the month.. (we were here on the 2nd Sunday). Many art, clothes etc studios. Gin distillery. Coffee Pizza Deli etc."
- **Max Aronow** (★ 5/5): "Very nice and safe place. The neighborhood isn't the greatest to wander around but more than enough space inside the yards. There's secure indoor parking. Lots of arts and fashion shops"
- **Franklin Legend TV** (★ 5/5): "Lovely spot to check out. You will find these amazing gems all around Joburg. Artistry, lovely bags, curios and food if you like too."
- **DeWitt Burger** (★ 4/5): "Such a nice venue for photography! I visited on a weekday to avoid crowds and scout photo locations. The venue is clean and its rustic look just fantastic. There is a reasonably priced deli for light meals and drinks and various little shops all around, I can see one spending some hours browsing on weekends, supporting local businesses and artists. Some not so nice observations: -the drive to and from is a bit dodgy, be SUPER vigilant. -limited parking so go early or risk street parking in not the safest area. -mens bathroom was not the cleanest during my visit. -they did not respond to questions I DM on their Instagram page prior to my visit Interesting find for sure"
