Absolutely love coming here! If you like puzzles (and being truly challenged) you would definitely enjoy shopping here. The shop owner really makes the experience, and will challenge you to some of his favorite puzzles (good luck)! The puzzles themselves are all beautifully made and theres a large array of very unique designs. Theres other interesting items sold here as well, but I would definitely recommend checking the puzzles out, either for yourself or as a gift for someone else :)

I very much doubt that one would be able to find a more interesting (and challenging) array of merchandise than you will at The Puzzle Shop. If every school had a shop like this on their premises we would start to make significant cognitive strides with the younger generation. Puzzles are clever, solid wood and develop a number of thinking skills. They are so simple, yet so complex. I still can't do the Towers of Hanoi unassisted at the age of 55.

  • Hassina

If you looking for items to expand the thinking of yourself, your child or your parent & grandparents, then this is the place. Each item is hand crafted with much effort & thought into what they offer. The items on offer make great brain exercises for all ages-kids, adults & even the elderly. Great tools for occupational therapists, old age homes, kids play areas & even hospitals.

  • Kasthurie Govender

A lovely drive from Durban. The Puzzle place is an amazing and very interesting place to visit. Mostly wooden type puzzles. It can be fun yet challenging. But also frustrating if you don't have the patience. Puzzles for all ages. See whether you are more right brained or left....you may not want to leave ....once you get started.... Good luck! ☺

What a little gem of a store!! There's an array of goodies for you to browse, it's almost impossible to not leave without buying something - trust me, something will catch your eye! They also have lots of locally made products (crochet bags, beaded jewellery). The people working there are so friendly, it ties the whole experience together!

  • Claire Stubbings

Intriguing variety of puzzles ranging from simple to fiendishly difficult. The good quality and craftsmanship are evident in each piece. Also, the staff are passionate about puzzles and really try to engage customers in the products. Great experience and will definitely stop in from time to time to try some new stock.
