Its a simple 15 minute walk from Queen St or one of the stops on the Link Bus.
The market is under cover so rain or shine its open daily. The stalls are quite a mix, not to mention a maze. There's a great shoe/trainer shop with all the brand names but a good $30 odd cheaper than in town. Various second hand and alternative clothes stands. But if you're looking for bargain presents this a great place to come. There are a few shops obviously aimed at tourists but otherwise an interesting mix of bits and pieces, including an old ambulance outfitted as a piercing stand.
Threre's a food court and also a cash machine, for that essential wooden tiki you just gotta buy.
