More about our services

Many visitors find Traders to be an asset when they arrive, especially if they have done some damage to their vehicle or trailer/caravan in tow on the journey up to the Cape.

We are always happy to chat about sourcing new products. So if we don’t have something you need, make sure to let us know so we can look into stocking in the future.

Make sure you call in and say g'day to the friendly team, you will be glad you did!
