Getting here
Park in the mall and walk in.
We are inside Lakeside Mall on Mark Strasse in Arboretum, which means you get covered mall parking and mall security rather than a street corner. Come in through the mall entrance and look for Shop 31.
- From central Richards Bay: head for Arboretum and follow signs to Lakeside Mall on Mark Strasse.
- From Empangeni: roughly 20 minutes on the R34, then into Arboretum.
- Parking: standard mall parking, right outside.
- Accessibility: mall-level access, no steps from the entrance.
Searching "The Blue Cheese Richards Bay" on Google Maps will drop you right on us.
Coming from Empangeni?
Empangeni members reach us on the R34 in about twenty minutes, then straight into Arboretum and the mall parking. If you are making the trip for something specific, message us before you leave and we will check the shelf rather than have you drive through for nothing. The same goes for anyone coming in from Esikhawini or the rest of uMhlathuze — a weed shop worth the drive should at least tell you what is in stock first.

Ask before you drive.
Especially if you are coming in for something specific — we will go and check the shelf rather than guess.
