Lovely place.Kids loved it.Covid protocols kept!Not too pricey.Off new road In midrand .So not far.Will go back for sure.

Staff very friendly, guide is passionate and informative. Nice little play area and jumping castle for the kids to play on. My son enjoyed the tour in the mine please note the gemstones are real but its a make shift mine and not an authentic mine tour. Still lots of fun for the feel when learning about the gemstones.

Wonderful place and learnt so much about gem stones, they also have a coffee shop and kids area. I also saw people attending yoga classes on the premises.

Very nice just to relax..wheelchair friendly..nice outdoor cafe setup. Owner very helpful and fdiemdly. Wide selection..almost everytime discount on certain items. Kids enjoy the scratch area.

Great tour thank you to the tour guide guy ,His very friendly

So great to find a place to enjoy a great coffee in peace and quiet, in the tranquility of Crowthorne AH. Staff are so awesome too

A WOW experience. Staff is very friendly, patient and knowledgeable. They are truly serving, assisting and helping their clients on a service level far above the norm in South Africa. Tour is also very interesting and the guide have a true and genuine love and passion for what he is doing. Beatifull gemstone jewellery. As a Gemstone collector I really enjoyed the day out at Gecko and to see people who truly live and love ther passion. Food was also excellent.

Loved it!

Interesting for the kids. There is a “simulated” mine, which takes you underground. There are various displays in the mine showing typical rock formations.The scratch patch is a hit for kids. They can choose a small bag full of precious stones at their leisure.Worth a visit.

A very fun idea for a family outing. The tour is informative and well done.There is a restaurant on site that is quite expensive but has a good variety of food.The actual show room is exciting and has jewelry at a reasonable price.

What a lovely morning. Our guide David was such entertainment and the kids loved going home with their gems

Perfect family outing destination! Super friendly and helpful staff and totally affordable. The kids enjoyed every activity sooooooo much!!!

Fun place to take kids. Educational.

Lots of gems and semiprecious stones tumbled and polished in different shapes spent time in the scratch patch and kids loved it its amazing to see what comes out from beneath the African soil !! So cool I started tumbling stones with a tiny two pound tumbler ,this place has all sorts of rough rocks to purchase for your tumblers too !!

Tour is ridiculously short! Not worth it. The German lady at the counter is very rude.

Fun and educational for the family with tasty nibbles and something for the lady in tour life

Nice range of stones. Not badly priced either

Was good experience my daughter ❤ it

Very goodStaff very helpful and friendly

This place is nice buy the food is very expensive

If you want gemstones, semi-precious stones (polished and rough) and silver jewellery, then visit Gecko. Friendly and knowledgeable. They have Mine Tours as well.

A gem of a place to visit! Beautiful hand crafted jewellery in every gem stone imaginable! The tranquility in the shop is reflected in each stone and creation. Just browse to re centre your inner peace!

A nice family outing with young children, the scratch patch is very big, kept them busy for a while. The jeweler has some impressive pieces and I liked the sectioned layout of the shop showcasing each gemstone type. The cafe is ok an also liked the variety of garden stones available.

Sensation over load. Maybe you should leave your credit card at home because you are guaranteed to spend more than you intended to. Just tell your partner to take theirs. The quality and variety is mindblowing. For everyone including the kids.

Stunning selection of stones, but quite expensive.

Lovely place to visit with the kids..fairly centrally located. Yummy muffins

Loved it! The jewellery is fabulous and the variety of crystals is amazing.

Jewellery store on premises have the most beautiful products at decent prices, the mini tour was not too bad

The real thing is far less impressive than the marketing hype. Do not expect to descend a real mine shaft and the gems and jewellery in the shop are significantly over - priced. The only saving grace is the retired real - life miner who conducts the tour. His immense mining knowledge, acquired from decades of working on the mines, makes the whole experience worth the while.

Went for a family outing and loved being around the scratch patch. I will go there again. The only let down was that the staff arent really educated on the stones and cant really advice on the energy of the stones and cant tell you what stone you holding when you ask. They have to google what each stone is, so one is not really sure that you getting the correct info from them. I would Suggest putting up a info board by the scratch patch so people can compare the colours and what each one is for xx Blessings

The jewellery shop is excellent from a price and quality perspective. For semi precious stones they are incomparably good.

Very disappointed as the mine and its 2 chambers are simulated (man made/ not real) which the website should state. We also toured with an Afrikaans family and the tour guide David kept speaking Afrikaans which means we missed most of what he said as we are English speaking. Yes the tour is a minimul cost of R60 which I feel was not worth the tour itself however you do get a packet of gemstones at the end so really if the R60 is to buy you those stones then so be it! Also felt that the tour ending by being taken around in the jewellery shop itself is a marketing strategy when we wanted to opt out of this part the tour guide said at the end we would get the packet of stones so had to tag along the entire jewellery store while he marketed the pieces. Note: we came for a mine tour not jewellery store tour! The tour is great for kids I think and theres a scratch patch which I am certain little kids would love. I rather enjoyed the different stones displayed outside and around the venue itself. More can certainly be done at this beautiful venue!

Beautiful unique pieces with wide range of prices that suites everybodys budget.

Great outing! Our guide- Prince was knowledgeable and entertaining. The food at the café was good and very reasonable. We will be back for another tour.

Maria was very friendly. It was a pleasure doing business with her. Thank you very much

Little Mine in Midrand, if you love stones, it would be a great place to visit.

We brought our daughter to the scratch patch, she thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice little restaurant and awesome jewelery shop as well. Well worth a visit.

Great place to learn about stones. Great place for kids

Very interesting place to visit, surely worth a visit. Didnt expect to see what I did. Defs worth a visit!

Great experience with their shop n built mine to educate ppl in previous gemstones,great food n well situated up the road from kayalami race course

Had a great time here, very educational experience.

Would love a bigger variety of stones for sale, tour guides is great. Short but informative tour.

Great for quick meals, store with jewelry for loved ones ,kids have a playground of stones to collect, while teens can go pedal carting in a inflatable track , there are mine tours every hour

Super friendly staff! Very clean and neat! Great entertainment for the munchkins!

Plenty of room and things for the littleys to do and get rid of excess energy

Great learning experience about the many minerals we have in the continent.

This is a great family venue for both gem shopping and entertaining the kids. There are pedal carts, a mine tour and a playground.

Get to see stones you never new they exist.

Its a really beautiful place and you learn alot about precious stone, i wish I could move in there ;)

Wow. What a experience. Thanks so much for the awesome service.

Great place to take kids for a couple hours entertainment.

Beautiful stones!

Lazy Saturdays with the kids ....this is perfect for that ....loved just sitting in the scratch patch

Largest Jewellery shop in Southern Africa best and most pleasant service

Unfortunately they don’t offer mine tours on weekdays. Rather disappointing. Jewelry is exquisite and expensive.

Good experience with mine tours, could have been more in depth, expected more

A Bit disappointed. The food at the cafe were not that good and it were cold. Very very expensive.
