Was a pleasure to serve real fruit Icecream at the Duavata Lomavata Club - Fijian Cultural Day.

What people say
The Marilyn is a vintage ice-cream caravan that has been spreading happiness and joy in the form of ice cream since 2019. Owned by Grace and her family, The Marilyn is a party and entertainment service as well as a smoothie & juice bar. This summer, you can find The Marilyn and her team at Craigavon Park and Bucklands Beach on the Esplanade, reinventing the kiwi summer!
What sets The Marilyn apart from other ice cream vendors is their commitment to using real fruit in their ice creams. They recently served real fruit ice cream at the Duavata Lomavata Club - Fijian Cultural Day, where they received rave reviews from attendees. They also catered for a 21st birthday party, which was an absolute pleasure for both the hosts and guests.
In addition to their delicious ice creams, The Marilyn now offers smoothies, frappes & milkshakes at their new location in The Ormiston Town Centre seven days per week. Their little mechanical hiccup earlier this year did not stop them from continuing to serve their loyal customers.
Overall, The Marilyn is a must-visit spot for anyone looking to indulge in some delectable treats while enjoying the Kiwi summer vibes. With their vintage caravan and commitment to using real fruit in their products, they are sure to bring a smile to your face!
