Its such a shame to give this place 1 star. Out of the 25 shops that were open before covid and after covid, only 4 remain. The land owner completely destroyed the small businesses that once called this place home, by refusing to refurbish or maintain the buildings and pushing the rent sky-high. The only place worth visiting is The Turkish Table, a small, but wonderful restaurant.Heres to hoping this little place makes a comeback!

Renowned for the popular Papa’s Real Food restaurant and the Deli on Duncan’s delectable array of delicacies, Duncan Yard also features an enticing selection of stores offering boutique clothing, jewellery, indoor and outdoor decor, and carpet and florist services. Both the beauty and hair salon are idyllically situated for complete relaxation and pampering.

Nothing to see anymore. All the shops are closed and the place is abandoned expect for Turish Table that are definitly worth the visit because their service is amazing as well as the food.
Duncan yard is a one of a kind place. During the day you can sit down at any of their exquisite small restaurants and enjoy the the special European town theme like nowhere else in Pretoria. As well as during the night when you are in the mood for night life social, you can walk a few meters to the Mystic Boer witch is an amazing bar that has a large outside area and a decent size dancefloor.
Great for grabbing breakfast with friends. Afterwards, stroll around and browse the little shops full of odd finds and cute one of a kind items. It is neat, friendly, and all the store owners are willing to assist. The only problem is that it opens a little late. So it may be more suited for brunch instead of breakfast
Nice small little shops. Lots of arts and crafts. Antiques, glass beat making,. Very nice deli to have something to eat or drink. Some Sundays they have live music there. Shop with some small stuff made by disable people, sell for benefits of home.
Very nice place to eat and get a drink. The restaurants are diverse and theres a tattoo parlour, hairdressers and a haberdashery (or something). Good place to take your partner for an interesting time.
Love their little curio shops. You find the cutest things to use in and around the house. The most unique gifts are found here
We had very nice food. The kids enjoyed the fish pond. The ambiance is great for relaxation and there were painting classes going on. It was nice to see the art evolve
One of a kind place. Multiple unique shops and walking between them makes you feel like youre in a small village. Great restaurant in the centre ideal for lunch.
Quaint little shopping centre with a very calm and quiet vibe. Its nothing like the noisy and fast-paced daily life that Ive grown accustomed to as a student. Great place to take a break to relieve stress. Theres a handful of restaurants, an art store that offers lessons, a chocolate shop, and a hair salon.
Its like a small hide out from the busy Hatfield scenery. It has lots of unique shops and one can even get a nice cold craft beer or just grab breakfast or lunch
Duncan Yard has lost its sparkle. Too many empty shops, feels like a era gone by. A ghost town, but still a beautiful space to take photos.
This used to be such a lively place with fascinating shops, but has been neglected and many have closed. Papas is still a great restaurant though, and I believe a revamp of everything is on the way.
A surprising and interesting place hidden away from the hustle and bustle in Hatfield. Nice surroundings to have breakfast or lunch. Worth a visit.
Good mix of businesses
Just love all the small little shops. Was such a nice experience. You can spend hours there
Great
Amazing little enclave of shops and eating places decorated with random (mostly rustic) objects that give it a character of its own. I would definitely recommend popping in when you are in Pretoria.
Turkish Table at Duncan Yard is fantastic and worth a visit. Sadly the rest of Duncan Yard is terrible. Most shops are closed, and the quaint little centre is a ghost of its former self. Very sad to see.
Went to the Chocolate cafe and it was fantastic - amazing value for money. Just sad about all the empty shops. Hopefully the owners/ property management can see whats wrong and change it for the better.
Feels like a fairy tale when you walk through the shops
The absolute worst. The customer service is rubbish..... I went there and wasted my time!!!!! I went to go buy clothes and the lady was so confused and couldnt give me the right information! Pathetic
Great feel and vibe. Love the arts feeling you get when you step into Duncan. Certainly worth a visit!
Quant little shops with interesting, creative merchandise. Good quality. Good value for money. Worth a visit for sure!
I always enjoyed going there, especially to pottery shop. But since the new owners made all those changes and increased the rent, Duncan yard is just going down... down... What a pity.
Absolutely love the setting. Feels likr your living in a dream. Cute gift shops and lovely food options
Great atmosphere. Looking forward to the new shops. Definitely a keeper on the list of places to visit again.
The spice queen restaurant, great customer service and delicious food
A sweet spot thats shielded off from the bustling streets of Hatfield. A great spot for some tea or coffee.
I had such a great time here,I loved the music, food, drinks and vibe
All the quaint little shops closed down. Papas as well. Only a night club/pub there now. VERY disappointed.
Lovely place to visit. Small shops and narrow allies make it a place to escape the Pta bustle but the high amount of vacant store spaces detract from what could be a enjoyable shopping experience.
Amazing place with a huge variety of shops. There are even a true Belgium chocolate cafe where you can order a huge-thick waffel with warm Belgium chocolate covered on top with chocolate dipped strawberries. There are a Goldsmith and clothing stores, gift shops, restaurant and a LIEFDE WEN shop. The atmosphere there are just incredible and even perfect for a coffee date.
So much potential, but today, its a ghost town :(
Food good, but fans not able to cool down place. Too hot
Cute place to chill out. The restaurants are lovely and the whole place have a nice feel.
Beautiful venue with a lot of interesting little shops. I enjoyed the time spent here!
Pretty cool place.....variety of shops with clothes, jewellery, chocolate and flowers. We ate at Deli on Duncan which was very tasty.
Went there today. Everything closed down. Empty shell. Walked in walked out. Restaurant only open. Sad. Was once a special place.
Eclectic artist oasis. A true hidden gem.
Great atmosphere, awesome music, good service, best steak and pepper sauce I have ever had. Well done....
Love the vibe. Had some great chocolate and loved the flowers
14h00 on a Saturday afternoon, and the place is DEAD! What happened to the lovely restuarant under the big trees? The tables are there, but nothing more??
Had a good time. Shop tenants are very nice and willing to lots of infos.
